Greetings everyone.

I recently purchased a Toyota corolla 05 sports for my personal use but after some months (three months) I really got tired of driving because I got a work from home job and most of the times I am indoor and when I go out the traffic makes me feel like to abandon the car and just go home. You know how crazy lagos traffic can be

So most times the car is just at home, idle and I decided to give it out to a driver for bolt and drop weekly remittance of 30k.

The terms of agreement is that he will remit 30k weekly also maintenance of the car (like servicing etc) will be shared 50/50 by us.

The first week he remitted 20k and it took him additional two days to balance up

Second week of work he didn't remit but promised to make double payment the upper week, I allowed him and when he paid he paid 50k instead of 60k with promise to balance up some days later.

The fourth week he remitted full payment.

Fifth week, he defaulted.

So, I am wondering, for experience bolt/uber driver is 30k plus 50/50 car maintenance too much for a rider to meet? Car servicing is once in six weeks...

He also uses inDrive, Bolt and Uber for his rides, works everyday of the week

What's your take, for those in the business?

30k a week is even too small....considering they make up to that 30k and nothing less than 10k in a day lol.

I don't run Uber biz but from infor I have it's obvious that the guy wants to run you street...better retrieve your car from him before it's too late!

Will do that asap. I gave him a warning last time and I am waiting for him to repeat it again then I will terminate our contract

The work is not really as people talk about it. Don't believe what people say until you do it yourself

actually 30k is too much except u will be doing 100% repairs. 25k is ideal.

Do it for a week,then come back here to pass your judgement. Its even like drivers are more than persengers these days.

Im into it... 30k a week.he won't meet up. With the fuel scarcity, traffic, bad roads without increase in price will definitely affect his performance


And with bolt new way of operations. Even when rider cancels a ride. The driver scores are reduces. Couple with the lions on the roads of Lagos , example: lastma, taskforce, police, VIO, ...all these are out for Uber and bolt drivers.

Imagine all these expenses on the driver yet he has to meet up


U can only understand when u become the driver urself
