We provide the best rates in the industry, but it’s still important to have realistic payout expectations. Using our app, a driver’s income potential is largely affected by these three things:
Impact of Location on Potential Income
We help connect users and drivers in many parts of Senegal. And even within these service areas, your potential earnings can vary. A driver’s payment can be affected by location because of these things:
- Demand for services. In bigger cities like Dakar, there tends to be a higher demand. This means you’ll more often benefit from surge pricing.
- Agreed-upon fleet rates. A driver’s payment can also be pre-negotiated through the fleets that work in the area.
- Passenger’s purchasing power. In higher-income areas of Senegal, you’re more likely to get a user-suggested rate increase using our app.
To get a better sense of the driver payment by region, check out the different tariffs page featured on this page.
Experience and Time in the Activity
Have you been working as a driver in Senegal for a while? Then, you may already have amazing customer service skills. This can encourage clients to tip you, which gives an automatic boost to a driver’s income potential. Show just how awesome you are at your job by:
- Driving safely and following the rules of the road
- Showing local knowledge, especially if your client isn’t from the area
- Accommodating customer requests like changing the radio station or turning up the AC
All these help show how experienced you are at your job. And as you continue to work in this industry in Senegal, we’re confident you’ll become even better!
Hours Spent Providing Trips
While the responsibilities are the same no matter when they do it, the driver’s payment can change. Here’s why:
- Working longer hours means getting more bookings.
- Using the app during rush hours means getting booked more quickly (and getting paid more through surge pricing).
- Seasonal events can also boost the demand for transportation.
A driver’s earnings may be vastly improved by picking the right hours or just by simply working more. Just don’t overdo it!
