Why will I buy charger for rider, on the peanut they're paying.. am I mad? Before when the fare was manageable I used to have expensive chewing gums not until one olosho just pack more than half into her bag, I noticed after she left since then it's N10 chewing gum.
Then when price was slashed I removed my N10 gum too, riders will be paying peanuts and be expecting premium service lol.
One female rider once asked me... Why don't you have iPhone charger.. I don't use iPhone.. case closed

toomush:



Same here with me, my 2 phones are type C and type B USB chargers, if the rider's phone doesn't fall into any of the categories, nah OYO for the rider oooh. If you want to charge your iPhone come with your cable.

There was a post by a driver here one time where he made mention of a trip he took from Ilupeju to Agbado crossing which is near Ogun state.

Brothers if I may ask you, do you think that Union chairman was stupid when he asked the driver "his plans for life"?

Like how can you drive that far distance for 1,400?

If you are an investor reading this, pull your car from this business and sell it before they wreck it.

If I were still driving, I will start asking riders how many they are. This is why I dont take early morning trips on Sundays when I worked. Nigerians are very dubious and crafty. Like how can I be taking a trip of 600 back then and carry 4 people? Even a Kabu Kabu can't accept that.

There is a reason some Kabu kabu drivers were able to build houses in their prime before Uber and Bolt came and spoilt business for them. Back then in Maryland, the cheapest I can get a cab man to take me to Surulere back then is 2500-3000 with abeg. On Uber Bolt these days, riders get it for as low as 1000.

Think about this.

Most of you are shouting more trips for more money but you don't know that the more trips you take, the more wear and tear your car suffers. Its that bad brothers.

AngryIgboDon:
Guys let me remind you again that the original plan for ehailing was "Transportation in Luxury and Comfort".

The Luxury means that it is Premium and should not be compromised by cheap fares.

Thats why people will abandon their cars to have you drive for them and pay you handsomely as an executive driver.

If you allow them to do this thing to you people, be willing to have Agbero and Danfo people as your riders. Even touts will be your main patronisers.

Your Job should be executive and luxury. Quit that job now.

Not quite true, yes there are obviously sratches and minor dents but nothing major except for full suspension overhaul which he is taking care of and need I say that the odometer reading on all the cars is less than 100k.

The problem is that he got into the business at a wrong time and his expectations fell short with rentals,so he is backtracking and switching to HP.

2 no's 06 and 07 Camry and 1 manual 07 Corolla, you can go have a look and possibly make an offer to buy if interested.

deedee44:

Drivers will rush back to Uber, small time Uber too will introduce their own craze and drivers will rush to the initially abandoned bolt. Sometimes I feel like Uber and bolt have meetings on how to keep using drivers to play ping pong

peeps4u:


My candid advice. I dont think you can opt for either HP o2e rental with your job. If you go for HP, you will have to dip into your salary to pay which i dont think it's worth it considering you already have a job. There is no need going for HP, it will only amount to working for the owner because of the outrageous price (almost double) you will pay for the car.

It would have been easier if you have your own car which you can use to work on off days.

It is even better you go for loan, say 800k, and get yourself a good naija used car to work (since you have a job) than doing HP.

DONT GO FOR HP, THOSE WHO DRIVE FULL TIME ARE EVEN HAVING HARD TIMES COMPLETING THE HP CONTRACTUAL PERIOD.

Good luck

ndubuis:

Times are different now. Desperate times, everyone is desperate to make money. Bolt is no exception. They no longer make as much as they use to due to the impact of coronavirus.

They have absolutely nothing to lose by making a terribly low fare even lower at the expense of drivers and car owners. It means more money for them while the drivers suffer and sweat it out in traffic. Only an idiot rider will opt for standard fare when you have economy, same car? It doesn't even make sense.

I'm sure if Bolt goes ahead to reduce fares, Uber will follow suit. The suffering continues for drivers.

deedee44:

Since you will not be driving full time, don't think of rentals. You will just be working for Uber/bolt and the car owner. If you have your own car only then will it be a good side hustle for you

pope191:


Those r not my choice car, I still maintain, its not worth spending over 1.2 million on this hustle.

chucsmoore:


Something similar has been launched in South Africa lastweek. Nigeria is about to follow suit.

xana101:
Took one rude girl from gbagada to ikeja. Price was N1,200. On Bolt. Both of us had quarrel from d express to her destination. When she paid me,, I had to swear for Bolt cos if I receive this kind insult and rider paid N2,500. I’ll be happy not receiving insult on peanut, yet they plan of reducing it more. Ok no problem. I’m waiting. One, I won’t put on AC. Two, if u insult me I end trip and drop u. Three, if u no take time I might injure u. Four, ur life will be at risk if u don’t respect urself.
That’s why u can’t do uber or Bolt and be successful in Nigeria. Their commission is very high. Fare is so cheap. If u Gross 12k on Bolt a day, ur profit is 6k that is if u drive ur own car. now traffic are everywhere so how do u complete d more rides. Even with d current price at times u won’t be able to off ur app cos request keep coming. I prefer to do 4 trips a day that will give me 10k or more, than doing 10 useless trips. At this juncture, we need a union. #unionforuberboltdriver

Kala11:


Pls where is there office located and how much to get it done?

Gentlelife50:

Drivers will only shout for two days and that is it, very unfortunate.
They may not even notice as they will be busy moving Lagos to ogun state, chaii

UcLloyd:
The car I want to use for Bolt has Rivers state number and another name on the papers than the one on my driver's license. Hope Bolt will accept me? Cus I'm yet to do change of ownership with the previous owner of the car I bought for the ehailing

Someone please answer me

Slickleo:
So because we do some trips without AC and save some few litre of fuel, bolt still Dy put eye to block that with there economy plan, it is well

Mjosh1000:



This offer is still open

davit:
Oga stop posting your advert here. You don't seem to be a serious person. I asked you about renewal for 2 vehicles last week, till now no solid response. If you can't disclose your price, then it is better you don't advertise. Every thread na there I dey see you. Kí lóde?

benitdavid:
Good morning my fellow Nairalanders. Pls I want your honest opinion on this issue. A friend wants to pick up a toks Corolla 03 model for 2.5m on hp. Would you advice him to pick up the offer?

P.s. he has a 9-5 job already but the pay isn’t much, less than 100k so he isn’t going to be driving full time . Is it a good deal??

peeps4u:


My ideal investment on this hustle now is 800k max and should be a good naija used car.

Whoever still invests on toks cars for this biz is still living in yesterday.

Felicity0001:

You nees to go and pray this is not a good dream oh.

Vision2045:
To be honest we sincerely need a platform where atleast 70% of e-hailing partners can be reached.....

This companies just do as it suit them.... I don't know if anyone notice that today....around that afternoon destination was hidden.

Now they are talking of economy .....same car, same fuel cost....same wears and tears, same distance.... But low fare.....

Abeg who no go choose economy when you know the service is same as the lite.....why the premium package no sell, na cos less people opt for it....before we know it economy will become the new lite

Aswear if I get money I go buy that indriver repackage their strategy and app... In just a year .. Bolt will be out of business in Nigeria

Imagine someone on economy behaving rudely towards you with the 300naira him/she wan pay u...
