Driving for Bolt<\/a> or Uber<\/a> is a great way to make some extra cash in Nigeria today. While the major focus for Bolt and Uber drivers is to pick up and drop off passengers, having some extra car accessories in your car can increase the chances of getting better tips from passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the easiest ways to get better tips from passengers as a Bolt or Uber driver is to offer them some additional comfort aside from taking them to and fro their destination. There are a few accessories drivers should get to make their jobs easier and increase the customer experience of passengers. If you\u2019re interested in becoming a Bolt or Uber driver, take a look at some of the top gadgets available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Car Phone Chargers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Depending on how many customers you get in a day, you may be stuck in your car for 8 hours or more. Your phone may run out of battery fast, especially if you\u2019re using it to stream music or for navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A portable phone charger will ensure your phone is always charged while working. Consider getting charging cables for both an Android and an iPhone. This way, you\u2019ll be prepared if your passenger needs to use one for the duration of the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Dash Camera<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Getting involved in even a minor accident is never fun, and an unfamiliar third party in your backseat can stress you out even more. If the customer becomes injured during a car accident, they could hold you personally accountable, resulting in termination from your job and other legal troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A camera for your dashboard is relatively inexpensive and protects your integrity in the event of a collision. It\u2019s easy to install and also doubles as a great way to monitor your vehicle when you\u2019re not around, as it reduces break-ins and hit-and-runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Car Phone Mount<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        If you don\u2019t own a GPS unit, using your smartphone is the only other practical option for driving passengers through unfamiliar territory. Your phone\u2019s GPS works just as well, but it can be a hassle to keep looking down at your phone whenever you need to turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Not to mention, taking your eyes off the road too often can also be unsafe for both you and the passenger. With a car phone mount, you can always see your route in front of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Mileage App<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Drivers who work with Bolt and Uber must keep track of their miles. When it comes time to file your taxes, you need to know how many miles you\u2019ve driven. Uber and Bolt only keep track of the miles you\u2019ve driven while on rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
