Which One Is Better For Uber by Olmat(m): 3:59am On Jan 31, 2021

Good day my Honorables.

Please I need your advice on which car to buy for e-hailing business. I'm having options of toyota corolla 2003 - 2005 model or Honda Civic 2005 - 2008 Model, though I'm tilting towards Honda Civic 07/08 model. Please which should I choose?, I don't Wana make mistakes.

I drive a Honda Civic 06/07 very durable but would advise you go for the Corolla it's more rugged , and that particular corolla nickname is called Uber corolla and you want to use it for Uber , perfect match , they don't call civic Uber civic lol

Corolla makes you vulnerable to attack buy a civic which is also fuel efficient and rugged like Corolla.

Thank for your response, but I also learnt camry hybrid battery do pack up, and we don't have good mechanic who are well knowledgeable with it yet. Getting another battery is very expensive. Please can u throw more light into it.

You have to read study and understand by your self.

If you like the principle , then search for a good technician who fixes that brand (they are expensive) buy a good one and you will be fine

Wrong advice. Insure comprehensively instead.

Put your 2.5m in the bank, fill a standby order of 100k per month and enjoy your 2.5m for 2years and 1 month without stress instead of spending the 2.5m on a corolla for uber. Before the end of the 2years you may lose the engine and/or gear of the corolla plus other repairs. So when do you want to start making profit? The 3rd year??Please think of other business or buy a cheaper car 700k to 1m. The idea is to reduce your risk.

The 2.5m and the corolla won't be intact after 2years, (they might have robbed him of the corolla). But his health will be intact

From my personal research, I'll advise you go for the CIVIC for peace of mind.
A Corrolla can cause high BP, due to its vulnerability to vandalisation/ theft, except you can afford a comprehensive insurance policy for it.

Please let's know your final decision grin

Will he determine the fare by '' himself '' ?
I wonder why people go into business they have no say. You dont fix price of fuel, parts, cost of repair and fare and you think such business is ideal. Thats slavery. Even uber never buy their own cars.
Uber is for car owners who are gainfully employ and do it part time. Reason behind " setting of destination''

The fly that doesn't listen to counsel, would follow the corpse to grave.

You can buy any car of taste for yourself.

But for Uber and Bolt, my brother, listen to earlier advise.
Dont exceed 700k
Your best bet is Honda Civic, City 05-06

Toyota Echo, Yaria, Corolla Bank Type

Golf 05

Vibe

Bolt would accept Nissan Almera 03

Why am I saying this.

You don't want to buy a ₦2.5M Car for a trip of ₦300(Passenger has a ₦200 discount, thus pays ₦300)

You need to ask drivers first how profitable it is.

So the cheaper your Car the better, Just ensure its sound and clean so you can get offline trips.

Its a commercial vehicle not show off.

Also Bolt would pay the guy driving a ₦5M Car and the one driving a 500k Car same amount for same distance.

This Honda Civic 2006-2010, whats the difference between the two? I heard that the blue on is European spec and it's problematic and expensive to maintain.
Is that true?
