I was talking to a friend who had recently fallen on hard times, and had come to me for advice. Earlier this year, his wife passed away in childbirth leaving behind 3 young children. He has been struggling financially since then, and although well educated, he hadn’t been able to get a steady stream of income. He told me that he just wanted a venture which could just help him get back on his feet and back into his car business. After some consideration, I suggested to him the option of driving an Uber taxi in Lagos, which he seemed quite welcome to.
What is Uber?
Uber is a technologically-driven taxi company which helps customers hail comfortable taxis from anywhere, using just a smartphone application. The customer downloads the Uber app on his/her phone and when a taxi is required, just pushes a button to request one. Using a special algorithm, the app then matches the customer to the nearest pre-verified taxi and provides a fare estimate. The app also automatically charges the customers registered card and the driver also gets paid directly into his bank account weekly, so no cash ever needs to be exchanged. After the ride, the customer receives a fare breakdown by e-mail.
How people make money through Uber
Uber provides just the software to connect drivers with riders, and so the company doesn’t own any vehicles. This is where partnership comes in. People make money on the Uber platform by driving their cars themselves and picking up Uber customers, or putting a fleet of cars on the Uber network and hiring drivers to drive them. The easiest and most affordable way to do it is to drive for yourself on Uber.
It is a great earning opportunity as you as a driver are self-employed and as such,you have complete control over what hours you work. You can adjust your availability to suit you, and the company only sends you customers during your available hours. There is also no need to haggle prices with customers as fare prices are determined by the app, and are automatically calculated based on the distance and time. Uber takes a 20% commission and credits your bank account at the end of each week or month with your earnings. One driver confirmed guaranteed bookings of a minimum of 7 jobs each day, but an actual outcome of about 14 jobs by the end of the day. Assuming an average fare of ₦1,500 per ride, this translates to ₦100,800 per week (after commissions) for a driver working 6 days a week. While this is a “guesstimate”, the driver I spoke to reported earnings of about ₦110,000 weekly after commissions. He reported a monthly net income of between ₦240,000 and ₦260,000 after paying approximately ₦112,000 monthly for petrol and ₦60,000 monthly for insurance and maintenance expenses. Obviously, non-owner drivers should expect a lower net income after car rental/leasing costs.
[Update August 2016: The earnings reported below were reported around October 2015 with one of the first set of partners. A net profit of ₦100,000 to ₦200,000 is more realistic around now)
You will be able to access full payment statements in your driver area which looks like this:
How do I register as an Uber partner in Lagos?
You can register on the Uber network as:
a.) A driver with no access to a vehicle
b.) A vehicle owner who wants to drive
c.) A vehicle owner planning to employ someone to drive
Related: How one guy makes 50% ROI by investing in the transport business
If you are registering with a vehicle as b or c, you will need a scanned copy of the following documents:
- A 2006 or newer car in very good condition, which Uber will require that you bring in for an inspection.
- Your drivers license (for ID purposes)
- Your third-party vehicle insurance certificate
- Your vehicle inspection clearance papers (Book a test here)
You will then need to register online as a partner using this link, and then select what category you fall into.
You then get access to a profile. In your profile, you will need to set up payment details where Uber can send payment to you weekly. You can do this by going to https://vault.uber.com where you login using the same details you used to register.
Information you will need to have available:
- Your name as it appears on the account
- Your account number
- Swift code of your bank branch. (If you don’t know your swift code, just ask the next time you’re at the branch)
- Tax Identification Number
- Bank code
If you are hiring drivers to drive for you, you will need to go to your Uber dashboard, click on “Add a Driver”
Registering as a driver only
Here are the items you will need:
- Drivers Licence: this can be obtained from the FRSC.
- Lagos state drivers institute ID card: this can be obtained from the Lagos State Drivers Institute.
- Background check: this is carried out after the driver has been accepted and has completed the training. It costs ₦20,000 but can be paid in 5 instalments of ₦4,000 each. It is a check Uber carries out with the police, which demonstrates that you have no criminal convictions or charges against your name, and is for the safety of passengers.
- If the driver is not the vehicle owner, you will also need a contract agreement between the driver and the owner.
Registering your vehicle only
Here are the items you will need
- Vehicle Licence
- Certificate of roadworthiness (You can get this from the FRSC)
- Tint permit if your windows are tinted.
- Proof of ownership
- Comprehensive Insurance. We compared insuring a 2009 Toyota Camry worth N2.9m across 10 Nigerian insurers and we got quotes ranging from N62,500 to N150,000 annually. You can find the full results of our research here.
4. Others
- Certificate of Incorporation. You are self-employed and not an employee of Uber, so you will need to register a company for this purpose.
- You will need to be comfortable using a smart phone with GPS in addition to your local knowledge of Lagos. You can either bring your own smartphone (iPhone 4s or newer/Samsng S3 or newer) or Uber provides you with a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini for a ₦50,000 deposit (or 5 instalments of ₦10,000). Uber will also deduct ₦1500 per week for data on the Etisalat network.
The entire process takes about 2 weeks, and here are some additional resources to help in your enquiry:

To lease a vehicle in Lagos: http://fleetpartners.ng, http://www.c-ileasing.com, http://firstchoiceleasingltd.com, https://www.avis.com/car-rental/location/AFR/NG/Lagos
[Insurance Deal] A 2008 Toyota valued at N1.5m for example would cost around N52,500 to insure annually. This would include free excess buyback, meaning that in the event of an accident, the vehicle is repaired by the company and at no cost to you. To get this offer, please contact Ms. Irente: 08080353662
Thanks for the in for Mr Pepe, could you please help with some statistics on peak hours and best locations, I know we are very poor in keeping records in Nigeria. A fair analysis will do. Thanks again
Hi Ade,
My initial guess would be that peak times would be at night and on weekends on the Island when people are likely to get stranded. Also parts of the mainland such as Ikeja and Surulere might have high demand as well, but your best bet is to check with Uber direct. I can check and see what response I get.
Do u guys accept Honda accord 2005?
No, Uber only accepts cars from 2008 upwards.
Bring Uber Taxi to Port Harcourt. its going to be a lucrative opportunity.
I agree! I believe either Uber or Easytaxi will make their way to PH soon
Do i really need to register a company before i can partner with Uber with my car?
Can I register my 2007 Toyota camry?
Hi, Emmanuel. I’m afraid they only accept 2009 cars and newer now.
As a partner driver in London. Will this make it easy for me to join The lagos platform
As it is a similar process, you should find it easier. However, I don’t think your details from uber London are transferable as it is a different geographical market.
how can I get my company to register some vehicles on UBER?
Hi Ifeoma,
Please go through the resources at the bottom of the page. The process for registering a car on the network is covered, however you will probably need to find a driver. They might be able to help with this. Hope this helps.
HI,
I have a 2012 Kia cerato. I rily want to be an Uber partner but stil in paid employment. Please i need to know if you could avail me with the detail of the agreement between me and driver who will be the driver of the car.
Please revert.
Hi Bamidele,
Yes, I’m sure uber will love to have your car on their network. Please register on their website, and you can find a driver here: http://www.ubernigeria.com/partners-looking-for-a-driver
They will take care of your driver concerns, including agreements.
I used to drive with uber but my account was deactivated. Can I get it activated back
Hello good morning my name is Nkem how can I register online I have any toyota camry 2009
Hi Nkem,
This page has more information on how to register your car with Uber: http://www.ubernigeria.com/get-started
Great idea. Please can uber help get a driver if my car meets the requirements for registration as a partner.
Thank you.
Yes, Uber can help you get a driver. See: http://www.ubernigeria.com/partners-looking-for-a-driver
Hi Mr Pepe, I am a professional driver and am interested in registering with Uber but i don’t have a car, I reside in Jakande estate, lekki, lagos.
Hi Jeremiah,
I would suggest you register on the platform first, and get yourself ready to drive. Once you have your Lagos state drivers card, driving license and register on ubernigeria.com as a driver, finding a car is actually not a big issue. Uber has a program for linking registered drivers to vehicle owners, which you can check out here: http://www.ubernigeria.com/drivers-looking-for-a-partner/
You can also contact Angela Iyeke on 08029476384 and 08179275311
Hi Jeremiah,
I am about to partner with uber and I don’t have a driver yet. I stay in Osapa london. We could work together. Can i have your contact?
Good stuff
I have a kia spotage jeep 2014 model,i will like to partake in uber .
Hi Shina,
Your vehicle will definitely be accepted by Uber, as it falls into the UberX category. You can confirm this on the list of accepted vehicles here: http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5526d0a1e4b0cd19cda1130e/t/56bde24bcf80a18494f88d2e/1455284811774/List+of+accepted+cars+-+Uber+Lagos+-+Sheet1+%282%29.pdf
You will find instructions on becoming a Uber partner here: http://www.ubernigeria.com/get-started/
All the best.
This is a good idea, the only problem is getting a reliable driver
A good driver who meets Ubers standards and has passed all the checks isn’t that hard to find. Uber can even help you find one.
I want to be part of uber.because,I can’t afford to buy the car they require.because am Using golf 3,for now I need clean car to use for the business,may I get good person to make the deal for me.thanks
Hi Tunde, no one will be able to help you achieve your goals without you proving to be credible, and also giving them something in return or helping them achieve something. The most realistic way of getting a clean car for yourself is to sign up as a driver and go through all the required checks. You then find a car owner through Uber who has a clean 2010 or above car, and is able to enter a hire purchase agreement with you.Hope this helps.
HI MR.PEPE,THANKS FOR THE INFO I WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF THIS AS A DRIVER FOR NOW PENDING WHEN I GET MY OWN CAR AND I HAVE MY DRIVING LICENCE BUT NOT THE LAGOS STATE DRIVERS INSTITUTE ID CARD BECAUSE UNTIL NOW I HAVE NOT BEEN A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER. HOW DO I ACCESS THE INSTITUTE’S ID CARD IN ORDER TO PARTNER AS A DRIVER
Hi Ibro,
Thank you for the correction, although there is no need to be rude over it. I do not profess to know it all, and my regular readers enjoy having an open platform where they can put forward suggestions and openly discuss ideas. Can you please throw more light on the VIO, and how get a certificate of roadworthiness from them?
Hi please I want to partner with Uber and I have 2008 clean CRV Honda and about to get 2009 Corolla for dis business want to know if they will accept both.
Hi Wale,
They won’t accept your 2008 CRV, just your 2009 Corolla. Here is a list of the accepted cars: http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5526d0a1e4b0cd19cda1130e/t/570a869d22482e7442ee1fca/1460307614885/List+of+accepted+cars+-+Uber+Lagos+-+Sheet1+%283%29.pdf
Thank you so much MR Pepe for ur time and reply. Good to hear I can use 2009 Corolla. Now how do I get started? Because am a graduate and I want to get myself busy by driving it myself sir. Please I need more light in this sir.yes, I have my valid driving license.
Hi Adewale,
The post will guide you through how to start. Alternatively, you can attend an information session on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6pm or Fridays at 10.30am
Location: 2 Turnbull/Onikoyi Road, Ikoyi, Lagos
Hope this helps
Hello good afternoon I have an Honda Pilot 2013 with very low mileage. I don’t have a driver yet, what category does it fall in to and how fast is the registration process
Hi Biola,
Uber doesn’t have your vehicle listed, although I suspect it might fall under the Uberblack category.
To be absolutely sure, I would recommend that you attend their information session on Wednesday 6pm, or Friday 10.30am at :UBER LAGOS, STERLINGS VIRTUAL OFFICES, 2 TURNBULL/ONIKOYI ROAD, IKOYI, LAGOS, NIGERIA
You can actually find a driver through the session or via uber-finder.com
Hope this helps
hello, greetings.
I’m an employee with a tv house here in lagos and please i would love to get info on the deal you have with kia
and also how one can leverage on it to get a new car to register with u.
I live at Ipaja, Lagos. I want to be part of this Scheme as a Driver. What are d requirements? What’s d pay like? I’m over 50years of age. My Business collapsed, and I need to get back to taking care of things in my home.
Hi Okechukwu,
Thank you for your message. Your age is not a problem as long as you are able to learn. The pay starts from around a minimum of N50,000 but this increases with time and trust and many drivers are offered the opportunity to own their one vehicles. A good place to start would be to attend one of the information sessions: Mondays and Wednesdays at 6pm or Fridays at 10.30am
Location: 2 Turnbull/Onikoyi Road, Ikoyi, Lagos
Abuja Partners – Mondays at 12:30pm or Wednesdays and Fridays at 6pm

Hi Mr pepe. A friend told me recently that vehicle models from 2010 are obsolete and it is vehicles from 2011 that are acceptable on the uber platform now, is this true?
Hi, this isn’t true. Please see the required car information directly on Ubers website: http://www.ubernigeria.com/accepted-vehicles/
Hello.
Is registration of Business name acceptable? for I don’t have the registration that will give me the CAC no. RC……
Thank you
Hi Mike,
Sorry I don’t understand your question. All the requirements are detailed in the post, or you can attend a free live information session at one of the locations in this post: http://www.mrpepe.com/personal-finance/where-can-i-speak-to-someone-face-to-face-about-joining-uber/
Good evening, pls I want to make an enquiry on how to become Uber’w taxi driver without owning a vehicle.
Hi Timilehin,
You can go through the drivers registration process and there are people waiting to offer you a car to drive on the scheme. Your first step is to attend one of the information sessions detailed here: http://www.mrpepe.com/personal-finance/where-can-i-speak-to-someone-face-to-face-about-joining-uber/
i have a toyota camry 2010 which i bot for 2.2million , but i have no driver i hope uber will help me get a driver. aw can i register my car with uber. and pls can i know how much i am going to be payed weekly.
Hi Munis, could you please e-mail me via the contact area of the website, or via ctrl@mrpepe.com and I’ll put you in touch with someone who can help with driver once your car is approved. He’s currently a driver on Uber, and now wants to help set others up.
Please can you provide a sample contract agreement between the driver and the owner.
Please I need clarification.
Do you mean that before one come on board, the person need to incorporate a limited liability company or to register a business name.
I own a car and I am willing to register it, who pays the driver and how much Im I likely to make if I am not driving?
Hi Remi,
You earn the most if you’re driving it yourself. However, if you want to give it to someone else to manage, you can earn around N40,000 weekly after maintenance, drivers wages, insurance and petrol costs. If you want me to put you in touch with a manager, email ctrl@mrpepe.com
I really wants to partner with you by recruiting responsible drivers for your organization.
Pls I would like to know if a 2010 kia cerato (manual transmission) Is qualified to be used.
Mr. Pepe, thank you for this information. Please I want to attend the meeting in Abuja. Will it still hold today? Today is a Wednesday.
Goodevening….as a partner, how do you keep track of miscellaneous expenses of the driver like fuel,toll,maintenance etc….
Mr Pepe, I am highly interested in partnering with uber as a driver but do not have the Lagos state drivers institute card yet, can I go through the training before going for the lasdri card?
Hi Solomon,
Yes, you can attend the training but will need to provide the drivers card before you are approved.
How can I partner as a driver
Hi Sesan,
Please see this on how to register as a driver: http://www.ubernigeria.com/become-a-driver/
Mr Pepe, i would like to know how often Uber upgrades the car age. If I get an 09 car, hope after one year they will not say get a 2010 and above if Ive not break even. Thank
Hi Onyeka,
Once you’re in, you’re in. You are not required to change your car every year. You only need your car compliant to register, after that, just keep an eye on your vehicle insurance.
Hope this helps
Hi, l am planning to get a Kia Rio for the Uber partnership. But can you please explain the diffrence between UberX and UberSelect cars under the accepted vehickes category. And why Kia Rio was classified as UberX. Thanks
Hi.please did you say we are to pay 112k for petrol monthly and 60k insurance monthly.I thought insurance is an annually payment and its about that price annually
Hi Juliet,
Insurance is actually payable annually, not monthly. This post compares a few plans: http://www.mrpepe.com/business-news/uber-taxi-comprehensive-motor-insurances-prices-in-nigeria/
goodday i have just one car a 2009 corolla but i would want it to double as a private car too can i register it for 12 hrs a day and how much will that fetch me monthly thank you
Hi Ndubuisi,
Yes, you control what hours you want your car to be on the road for, so 12 hours a day is definitely achievable.
Hi Olalekan. Yes, you can get a job through Uber. Here are the steps to joining:http://www.mrpepe.com/business-news/uber-taxi-comprehensive-motor-insurances-prices-in-nigeria/
Does a business enterprise registered as a business name qualifies for registration. I mean a business name and not a limited liability company.
Hi Rotimi,
I think you actually have to be a limited liability company for tax purposes.
Thanks

Hello Mr P, i have a Mazda 1998 model, very clean and a factory fitted A/C. and i want it registered, i just clear it from the port
Hi Ola,
Sorry you won’t be allowed to register this on Uber as they only accept cars from 2006.
hello , I would like to know if UBER will accept a honda accord 2008 (v6)?
Yes they will
hi Mr pepe,
i will like to know your new review on the Uber Business now. Do people still make 250k monthly as earlier mentioned in this article? i want to go into the business but i will love to know if your opinion on the business has chnged or its still the same. Thanks so much for your understanding.
Hi Doyin,
Thanks for your question. To be honest, it is quite rare to make N250k these days. N120 – N180k after expenses is more realistic.
Hey Mr. Pepe. Thanks for the nice job you are doing here. Please I want to know if I’m allowed to pick other customers without Uber link after registration with Uber platform! Your response will go a long way. Thank you.
Hi Mike,
With Uber, you can set your availability on and off depending on when you’re available. You are working for yourself, so when you have an outside job to do, just set your availability to “off” so that Uber doesn’t send you any customers.
Mr pepe, I av a Kia 2015, is it acceptable?
Hi Akin,
Yes it is.
I have a toyotacamry (Muscle) 2007 can I use it for uber ?
Hi Salewa,
Yes you can, as it is newer than 2006.
hi, I have a 2009 Mitsubishi Galant Sedan I want to register with uber, hope it eligible
Hi Mrpepe,
I do not have a company but I have a TIN number and certificate of tax clearance because I am a government worker, will it suffice?
Hi,
I think this should be sufficient because it demonstrates that you pay tax. However, to be on the safe side, attend the weekly partner information sessions and ask during the session.
The office is located at: The iLx Centre (Venia): Plot 8, 1st Floor, Providence Street (Samsung Building), Lekki, Phase 1
Abuja: REGUS, Rivers House, 83 Ralph Shodeinde Street, Central Business District, Abuja
Hi Mrpepe,
Pls ill like to know due to the condition of our roads in the country, what measures do uber take to ensure my car(Toyota Camry 2010) is in proper condition and well maintained?
Thanks.
Hi Richard,
As part of the registration process, you’re required to get some insurance for the vehicle. This costs anything between N50k and N100k for the year. It also means that if the car gets any damage requiring repairs, the insurance company foots the bill.
You will find a few health insurers covering uber vehicles here: http://www.mrpepe.com/business-news/uber-taxi-comprehensive-motor-insurances-prices-in-nigeria/
Hi Mr. Pepe,
I love the possibilities Uber give through this cab driving platform. I reside in Yenagoa, Bayelsa and I own a 2012 Toyota corolla. Please how can i be a part of this platform. Thank you
Hi Olufemi,
Your best bet would be to move to Abuja or Lagos as Uber is only in these two cities for now. I’m hoping they come to PH soon, and this will be closer to you.
Hello Mr Pepe,
pls i would like to register my hyundai accent and get a driver from uber to drive it for me. My question is now that the profit has reduced to about 120k-180k monthly, how much do you think the car owner can make monthly after paying the driver and paying other miscellaneous.please i will be very grateful if you can give me an estimate.
Hi,
Can I register a 2008 peugeout 406 in good condition on the Uber plaform for Abuja?
Thanks
Yes you can. Uber now accepts cars from 2006.
Hello Mr Pepe, I appreciate the fact that you respond quickly on the platform. I will get a Toyota corrolla in about 2 months for uber, I would want to know the model that will be accepted by uber for this car type, as I have seen that some cars that are 2010 models are not accepted yet you said uber accepts cars from 2006 model. Thank you, secondly I will actually be registering as a vehicle owner needing a driver, do I have to fully reside in Lagos to achieve this? Thank you
Hi Peculiar, Uber rules have changed and they now accept cars from 2006. However, I would recommend taking the vehicle you want t purchase for inspection before paying to get the go-ahead directly from Uber.
There’s no need for you to be in Lagos as long as your car is in Lagos, as payments are made electronically.
All the best.
Dear Mr Pepe, Please help confirm if my car 2007 Toyota corolla is fit. The car is upto date on insurance.
Hi Tino,
Yes a 2007 Toyota should be accepted as long as it is in good condition.
Hi Mr. Pepe, will a Toyota Avalon 2006 be considered by Uber?
Hi Vincent,
Yes it should be accepted as long as it is in good condition
Hi Mr. Pepe will a Toyota avalon vs 2006 be considered for registration?
Yes, Vincent it shpuld be accepted.
Hello Pepe,good evening..I want to go to the uber office to make enquiries and I heard I have to book a session which I tried but to no avail..kindly tell me the process or do I just go for the weekly partners forum? When does it hold and where. Thank you for your swift response
Hi Amah,
I’m guessing you are talking about the Lagos office. If so, this is easy.
Just visit: ILx Centre (Venia): Plot 8, Providence Street, Lekki, Phase 1.
They are open 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. You don’t need to book in advance.
All the best
Thanks a lot for this. All my UBER questions answered and now I know how to set up.
Thanks again.
Meanwhile, Mr Pepe is an extremely patient
human being. After listing all the requirement in the original post, folks who probably did not bother to read the post start asking questions already answered in the post making Mr Pepe to ‘re write the whole post again only that this time it is broken into several sections. Folks please read, the article is not too long and answers all your questions already.
Thank you so much!!! I do appreciate your kind comments and your observant eye lol. I actually rewrote the article at the beginning of the month, as I had started to think that perhaps I was being very clear. Thanks, and i wish you all the best!
hi,can i use my spouse’s account for settlement of payments,2ndly can i use a third party insurance to register with uber,3rdly my driver’s licenese in on renewal process at the moment,can it be accepted both as identity as car owner and as driver,4thly can you please list the comprehensive requirements for vehicle and driver registration for a car owner that wants to drive his car under this platform
Hi Obi,
I think you will benefit more from visiting the office and having a one-on-one discussion with someone. You can go anytime between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. Just say you are a potential new partner and someone will attend to you.
Address: ILx Centre (Venia): Plot 8, Providence Street, Lekki, Phase 1.
All the best
Pls can I get a car through Uber for a ride to airport at 5am in the morning?
Hi Idowu,
For now, I don’t think it is possible to book an Uber in advance. Your best bet is to call your taxi driver directly and ask to be picked up at 5am. All the best
Hello I want to register as a driver I don’t know how to go about it

Good day Mr Pepe,
In my recent findings I was informed that UberX vehicles should be from 2006 while UberSelect is form 2012. I actually want to join partner and double as the driver. I need you to clarify on the models/year required. Secondly, if there are still space to accommodate new partners and when it is likely to stop accepting new partners.
Hi Abraham,
Uber has relaxed the requirements now so that cars from 2006 in good condition are now accepted. No one knows when they will stop accepting new partners, I’m afraid
Can Uber employe me as a driver because I don’t have a car u
Hi Francis,

Hi Abraham,

Hello.
I have two cars and i meet up with the requirements.
I need to register as a partner and all of that…but i can’t get any link as to that.
I reside in Abuja, please, can i have your contact so i can call to find out more on what to do?
My main question is…How does the whole thing work?
Thank You.
Hi there,
Your best bet would be to visit the Abuja office and carry out the registration there. You can out both your cars on the road through them, and start earning a return straightaway.
Their office is at 29 Mambilla Street, off Aso drive, Maitama (Former American Embassy). Before you go however, you will need to visit ubernigeria.com/calendar to book an appointment.
Good day Sir, Do Uber train drivers on how their system works?. Also do I join Uber in Abuja as a driver without vehicle.?

Hi Joseph,
Yes, Uber offers inhouse training to all their registered drivers. Please visit the Uber Abuja office to get started.
Hi mrpepe how do I register my car so uber can get me a driver as an individual not a company?
Hi Nora,
Yes, if you register on partners.uber.com, you should get an option to register as a vehicle owner. Select this option.
Hello Mr. Pepe, I must commend the tremendous work on your website, your ability to engage all your readers is most-impressive. However, I just need clarifications on a few things.
I am joining Uber as a car-owner without a driver, what would you propose as an estimate for the current profitability of the business after paying for the driver, Uber management, fuel expenses and other miscellaneous expenses?
Also, as regards the need to incorporate a limited liability company to register with Uber, can I use the company particulars of a family member to register?
I would really appreciate it if I can get a feedback from you on these issues.
Thank you so much.
Mr Pepe, thank you for all the information, i am currently in paid employment, but i am interested and willing to explore other sources of income and i am interested in being a partner. i have 2010 corolla and i want to come on board.
Must have a registered company first?
please i want to partner with uber. I intend to purchase a 2010 Toyota Camry, is there a limited millage for the car to be accepted? what colours are accepted? and who pays the driver? In event of my decision to drive, must i know all the local routes in Lagos before i can join?
Hi Osita,
Thanks for your questions:
– There are no limits to mileage, although the car must be in very good condition
– There are no restrictions on colour
– Uber pays you, the partner and you pay the driver. If you are a driver/partner, then you keep what Uber pays you
– If you decide to drive, you do need to have a good knowledge of Lagos roads/routes although you are supported by the GPS on the Uber system.
Hope this helps.
hi pls i want to patner. i ve a wine corolla 2006 model. i dnt live in lagos and will like if uber can get and pay the driver.
Hi Sandy,
Uber is only available in Lagos and Abuja for now. However, your 2006 Camry would be accepted on the program.
Here are the cars accepted direct on Ubers website: http://www.ubernigeria.com/accepted-vehicles/
Mr Pepe. Pls what year of toyota camry is the least Uber can accept. Am being misinformed by some information I get from other sites.

Good morning Mr Pepe,I want to register as a driver ,I have all d requirements, but can I control the hours I work with uber,because I have other business I do.
Hi Dennis,
Actually with Uber, you are working for yourself, not for anyone. Uber just sends you customers. You can control what hours you work by turning the app on when you’re available (uber sends you customers) or you turn it off when you’re unavailable (uber doesn’t send you customers.

Uber idea makes me accept driving as a job,maybe i would never had accepted driving as a job. Uber’s taxi gives me the urge to d r i v e because its a millionaires & billionaires network. Okezie i really need that vacancy !
Hi Daniel, are you a qualified driver on the platform?
Pls how do I monitor my driver to ensure he doesn’t sign off the uber platform or make himself unavailable so as to carry passenger for his own purse or selfish interest
There’s no way to ensure this other than making sure you pick a good driver and you pay him well. Perhaps you pay him a bonus for good performance. Or you can put the car on a hire purchase plan with the driver so he knows he’s working to pay off the car debt. That would keep him motivated, hopefully.
Dear Mr Pepe,
I commend your effort at providing answers to the numerous questions asked. I will however like to recast the below question which directly addressed my concerns but I am not ok/clear an the answer you provide:
“Pls how do I monitor my driver to ensure he doesn’t sign off the uber platform or make himself unavailable so as to carry passenger for his own purse or selfish interest” Can UBER provide monthly vehicle movement tracking history that could assist a non-driver patner reconcile usage with a hired driver?
Thanks

Hi Adokwu,
To be honest, Uber won’t give you that much detail. You will get a breakdown of pickups/pickup times but if the car were to be idle for say, 2 hours, there is no way of knowing if the car was stationary or moving about for the duration of the 2 hours.
To find this out, you will need to install a vehicle tracker, or purchase one that comes with one.
Hello Mr Pepe,please I have a 2005/2006 model Honda Civic,will it be accepted for UberX?
Hi Eric,
I don’t think this will be accepted
Please do i need to Uber before registering my car
No, there’s no need, although it helps you understand how it works.
Hello, Pls are u saying there is no way I can log in to check if my driver is online or not? Even if it is to log in to the same account/platform that he uses just for monitoring sake as the vehicle owner. Pls I need to get it clear because my vehicle do not fit into the uber range of cars and am about to get one for these purpose hence my inquisitive questions. Thanks once again
Hi Bidemi,
Yes that is what I’m saying. There is currently no way to monitor if your driver is online or not. There used to be something called “Live Maps” but this has been disabled due to a glitch in the system. You will need to install a tracker on your vehicle for peace of mind.
pls I have tried registering as a driver on the Uber platform but it’s not going through. Could you please send me the link
Hi pepe, i have a toyota corrola 2012, can i use it on uber select, also what rental companies working for uber can you recommend. Thanks
Hi Lekan,
Yes, you can use your 2012 Corolla on Uber select. I don’t understand what you mean in terms of rental – do you want to rent another vehicle?
Thank you Ethan for the swift response, the rental meant, are there companies that help people manage their car on uber, i am thinking of this option, due to inefficiency of drivers.
Ah, that’s fine. I can refer you to a manager. Call TJ Adebare on 09035039559. All the best

please i want to register my brother as a driver. we dont own a car. our cars are old and down. what are they requirement for a driver without a car but with an original Driver’s licence . The pay package and other terms and conditions.
Hi Samson, if you register with Uber here, https://partners.uber.com/i/q8jfrewhue
Fill your details out and you will get 3 options on how to register. Select “Driving, but no car”. You can get paired up with a partner who has a car, but isn’t driving and you both can negotiate payment terms etc. The going rate for drivers varies. You can also make an arrangement to drive the partners vehicle on a hire purchase arrangement.
Hope this helps

I am in Port Harcourt and interested in partnering with Uber,I have a 2008 Toyota camry. Is there any possibility here?
Hi Michael,
You can definitely register your car on Uber, but the service isn’t yet available in Port-Harcourt. I would suggest taking it to Lagos or Abuja and hiring a driver there if you really want to join the service. All the best.

Sounds like it should be alright, but it will need to be inspected first. I would suggest you book an appointment to see someone so you get given a day for a vehicle inspection.
Hi

Hi Ene,
You will need to start by registering as a partner via: https://partners.uber.com/i/q8jfrewhue
When you attend the partner info session, you can ask to be matched to a driver, and they can allocate one if they have any available. If not, I can send out a mailshot on your behalf. I have hundreds of uber partners in my mailing list, and can put a request out for you.
Hope this helps. When you’re ready, you can e-mail me at ethan@mrpepe.com

I want to be a partner, Does UBER accept Nissan Altima 2006???
Hi Samson,
The new age requirement for vehicles on the Uber network is 2008.
Hi, I’m interested in partnering with Uber as a car owner and a drive. Does a 2006 Corrola S meet Uber’s car requirement?
Hi Nurudeen,
I’m afraid not. The car age has now been revised to 2008.
HI, i don’t know how to drive very well now can i still join the uber network?
Hi Jude,
Your driving skills are what you are selling on the Uber network, and the network works best for you if you have a highly valued skill to offer. So you need to work on your driving skills first if you want to sell them through the network. There aren’t any shortcuts, I’m afraid.
Hi,
Am William, been aiming to join uber as a driver and with my own car. I’ve read reviews on specifications and model requirements and changes I read that 2006 models are being accepted now, am looking at using a Toyota Corolla or Nissan primera 2006 or above model neat condition. What are the estimates of the insurance required and the rest of the details to join.
Regards.
Hi william,
Please check that you can join with a 2006 car, as I think it has been revised to 2008.
I included some numbers at the bottom of the article. Could you call to get a quote?
Keep doing your thing Mr. Pepe. Thank you for being there.
Thank you so much, Sam! This is much appreciated!
Mr. Pepe I called Angela on the numbers you gave and she said the driver forum is for Tuesday not Mondays. She is not a customer friendly person and she has too much pride about her. Can you please give me another number to reach uber customer service. Someone with patience and humility enough to talk to people.
Hello can I register my new bus 2014 for your service
Hi Shodipo, I don’t think Uber accepts buses, but you can list it on wemove.co as they specialise in bus hires.
Alternatively, someone on this thread was looking for a bus to purchase on a hire purchase agreement. I’ll link you both up via e-mails shortly.
All the best
As an aspiring driver how can you book an appointment online before going to the office?

Hi Ola, to run Uber strictly as a business, you need to buy a car with low petrol consumption because petrol is one of your major overheads. Nissan Almera, Hyundai Accent and Kia are good efficient cars to start with. Here is a post which helps with more information and resources on running the business: http://www.mrpepe.com/business-news/heres-how-you-can-make-50-roi-by-investing-in-transport/
Any questions please feel free to ask
Please Sir, a friend of mine have a Toyota Camry 2007 (Muscle sport) he wants to register his car and me as the driver of the car but i don’t have a drivers lincense, I only use a copy of my Brother’s who happen to look exactly like me. Please sir does Uber have any provision for acquiring drivers license and the lag driver card? Please I dont want to lose this offer.

Please I don’t have a car
I want to register as a driver
Is there a way I can drive with uber without having to actually purchase the car in the end or during the process .
As in can I just maybe rent the car or something .
Or if I have to, how do I meet someone who I’ll drive for or will uber provide a car for me??
Please I need an answer urgently please, I really need this money and I need to get started as soon as possible
Hi Peter, I have a mailing list I can reach out to on your behalf. Could you please send me an e-mail as to what you are proposing and I could try and match you with someone.
P.S also include how you would be benefitting the person.
please do you accept bus also, Toyota Hiace 2008 or Toyota sequoia 2004
Hi Richard,
Uber doesn’t accept buses but there’s a service that does. They are called wemove.co and they are based in Lagos. I suggest you check them out. Hope this helps.
please I need a driving job please for God sake I need it urgent sir
Hi Oluwaseyi,
I’m afraid I haven’t got any driving jobs. To be able to drive on the Uber platform, you will need to take the step to follow the registration process so that when you get matched with a car, you are ready to start driving immediately.
Hope this helps
Pls what’s the likely amount I can earn if my car is used by a driver on uber?
I want to know how much I can realistically earn monthly if my car is paired with uber driver.
Hi Victoria,
It depends on your agreement with the driver. If you are giving your car out on a hire purchase contract to a driver (at the end of a period, they own the car), you can make N40,000 – N45,000 per week.
If you are talking about how much a driver can make before expenses after Uber takes their commission, this depends on how many hours the drivers are willing to work. My driver does an average of N65,000 weekly give or take. But he has also made N110,00 in one week before (this was around christmas)
You will need to register your vehicle first and go through all the checks before you are matched to a driver (if you haven’t already got one). Here’s a link: https://partners.uber.com/i/q8jfrewhue
All the best
Please I was told Uber now accept cars from 2003,is that true?am also a registered driver but yet to be matched with a partner,do u presently have a partner who needs a driver, pls do contact me
Hi Promise, I can’t really say but I think your best best would be to take the vehicle you want to use for an inspection. That way, you can hear from the horses mouth. All the best!

Hi Alade, your car will be accepted if it is newer than 2000. You can drive whenever you like – for example, after work, you can switch the app on and pick up/drop off people before you go home. Weekends and nights are also quite lucrative, so you can drive around these times. The system is so flexible, and is available 24 hours, so it’s really up to you and when you are free. As long as your vehicle is eligible, you can start by registering here: https://partners.uber.com/i/q8jfrewhue
Pls is Honda accord 2006 accepted
Pls is Honda accord 2006 accepted
Hi Femi, this is accepted. You will need to register it first though : https://partners.uber.com/i/q8jfrewhue
mrpepe,
Hyundai verna acceptable? vehicle particulars not in my name yet because still valid till 2018..can I use it like that or I do the needful before uber can register the car…I bought it from a friend..
Hi olayinka, you will need to register the vehicle under your name before joining. The reason for this is that when a rider requests the ride, the rider will be able to see your face/picture and the vehicle coming to collect them. They won’t be able to put the vehicle on their systems to make this happen if the vehicle is not in your name. Hope this helps
Hi, i have heard a lot about his uber business , please i have a jeep (Acura) for this business all the particulars are intact and also the car is in good condition , i dont have a driver. please throw more light into what to bring for registration and what to expect as payment (minimum).

please, I need to know if I can register only for weekends and if UBER accept 2004 Honda CRV.
Thanks
Hi, Uber allows you choose what hours you want to work so when you’re ready to accept customers, you just switch the app on. So you can put it in only at the weekends if you want. Your Honda CRV will also be definitely accepted

Hi Linda,

hello, i have Toyota camry 2003 can UBER accept my vehicle in Lagos
Hi Wale,
Yes, this model will be accepted
Nice. Very informative
i will like to register my car toyota corrola but i do not have time to drive it my self ,can they help me to get a driver for it and how much are they going to be paying me monthly
Hi there, you will need to first register the car on Uber yourself. You can do this via https://partners.uber.com/i/q8jfrewhue
Then you can ask Uber to get you matched to a driver. I would recommend putting it on a hire purchase contract with an existing verified driver. This means that Uber has done all background checks for you.
I created a thorough guide on how to do this here: http://www.mrpepe.com/business-news/heres-how-you-can-make-50-roi-by-investing-in-transport/

Hi…
I would like to partner with uber by registering vehicles. Can I get statistics on weekly or monthly payments. And I have gone through several comments above and notice that various responses, about year of cars accepted by uber. Can you clarify the actual year requirements.
Hi Gbenga,
Thanks for the enquiry.ost vehicle owners request N30K – N35K weekly payment, as most drivers can meet this up comfortably without giving any stories.
The reason for various years offered in my responses is that Uber’s policy on accepted vehicles has changed a lot over the last 2 years. The response I’ve given each time is appropriate for the date it was given.
At the moment, Uber Lagos will accept any sedan in good condition from year 2000 or newer.
Hope this helps
Pls do you have plans for higher purchased.
Good Day, Mr. E Okoli,
I really appreciate your timely response to my inquiry!
From the your response, it seems that i would be transacting directly with the driver….in this partnership and that i something i want to try and avoid.
Reason is that, i reside abroad in the USA and i will not be available to chase after an individual, should the need arise. I would prefer to deal with a corporate structure, such as UBER, directly if this provision can be made.
I also want to confirm, whether or not the weekly payments are affected in way by how recent the vehicle, used for this venture….for example: would a 2012 Honda Accord, be more profitable, than a 2005 Toyota Camry.
Lastly, i would actually like to assist drivers looking into obtaining HP, but my greatest fear is breach of agreement….is there any way around, having to deal directly with the drivers?
Hi i am a registered driver in uber. I just got dis car and wnt to get it moving. But d car is not mine until i pay for d car. How do i go abt it
Good day.
I own a Toyota verso 2006. The car is always packed during the week but useful by weekend for personal use.
I want to register as driver to drive during the weekends and also need a driver to drive during the week days.
How do i go about it.
Hi Iweka,
I think you can either pay a starting driver to drive the vehicle or you can rent it to a driver for Uber purposes. Renting however means that you are responsible for maintenance of the vehicle. You can offer it to a driver for rent at around N30,000 weekly. I have around 7 – 8 potential drivers looking for partners and I can make introductions if you want.
Hope this helps
Good day Ethan.
Thanks for the fast respond.
Please how can we see or talk to relate one on one, on other questions and to start.
Thank you
Hi Lauretta,
I do have a few registered drivers contact me. I’ll send you an email with their details
Hi Iweka,
I’m glad my responses helped. You can e-mail me via ctrl@mrpepe.com
Good day Mr Okoli.
You are doing a great job.
I own a 2003 Toyota Camry and have registered with Uber.
Could you please help me with a good and hard working driver. Thanks.
Lauretta
Good day mr pepe, i have 2 Toyota 2004 big daddy, will uber accept that ?
If i register my vehicle with uber and they find me a driver, what percentage of the weekly/total income does the driver get and will this agreement be between uber and the driver or me and the driver? Thanks.
I want to register with uber and be driving by my self but my problem is that i don’t no the roads /street in Lagos very well because am new in Lagos
Can uber accept temporary drivers license to register
Hi Tboy, no they won’t
Hi Ethan, I’m a transporter about to join Uber but I got a higher purchase deal. My problem with the deal is that the partner is given a tokunbo Toyota Corolla 07 model with (comp issurance, car tracker/ registration etc) for 4.8m, remittance of 50k weekly. My fear is that is this not killing…?
Hi Gbenga,
To be honest, that amount is a bit too high. I would have accepted that for a 2010 vehicle or newer. I would say you should reject the deal as N40,000 weekly is the maximum return that people collect for a 2007 vehicle. You may not be able to meet up with N50,000 as it is too high.
can i use my sienna 2002 for uber
Hi Sam,
Yes, you can use your Siena.
Hello Sir, Thank you for your responses. Please, the issue i have is finding a trustworthy driver who wouldn’t give excuses. Also, is there any package that can be agreed which would make the driver/uber responsible for the maintaining of the car?
Thanks
Hi John,
The best strategy to use is to employ an already registered driver who has a good rating. Past behaviour is usually a good indicator of future behaviour.
Secondly, if you offer the vehicle on a hire purchase contract, the drivers tend to look after the vehicles as they are paying to own, and are usually happy to cover maintenance and petrol costs.
Hope this helps
Good morning can I use Toyota Camry drop light 2002 for uber.
Hi Bashir,
Yes you can
I was doing some research on the net and i came across your piece on Uber and i must say i’m very happy to have come across such, I am resident in Ghana cos thats where i work but i visit Nigeria every 2 months but i have 2 cars in Nigeria but only one is being used by wifey so the other one is just there sitting idle.
The thought of Uber came to my mind but i know nothing about it which is why i have been doing some research on the internet to get more knowledge, the car is a 2007 Corolla in good condition but another issue now is that i dont have a driver, i have a friend who is begging me to employ him as the driver but this is a guy i(everybody) dont trust at all due to his lifestyle of cheating and playing smart on people and companies he had worked with in the past.
What advise can you give me in this situation in order to put my corolla on the road for Uber purpose.
Thanks,
Steve

hi…am a good driver I need a job frm uber can some one help me
I don’t have any car that I can use I want to be Uber driver what did I need as a driver
I want to be Uber driver but I can not afford any car what did I need to be Uber driver
Hi,
Pls i want to know who. (1) Who bears the maintenance of the car like repairs and fuel. the partner or uber. (2) Who pays the driver if the driver is not from the partner. (3) Who pays for the insurance premium partner or uber.
Hi Johnson,
Thank you for your questions. The way the Uber partnership works is that you bring your vehicle and Uber brings the passengers to keep you earning. Uber has nothing to do with the running of the car, and all running costs are borne by you – the partner. As such:
1. The vehicle maintenance and petrol costs will be covered by you.
2. You can drive yourself, but if you choose to hire a driver, you are responsible for paying the driver. Most people do this on a hire purchase agreement, where the driver owns the vehicle after a number of payments have been made.
3. You will also be responsible for insurance.
Hope this helps.
