Uber Nigeria has partnered Germaine Auto Centre, a Nigerian based auto service and maintenance company, to ease challenges faced by Uber driver-partners.The partnership would further Uber’s commitment to driver-partners, and create ways for drivers to maximise their net earnings and enjoy benefits using the Uber app, the taxi firm said.
According to the firms, the core highlights of the relationship are that for a stipulated sum, Uber driver-partners operating in Lagos, can have their cars maintained and serviced at a world-class auto facility.
Addressing newsmen in Lagos, Country Manager, Uber Nigeria, Maria Rotilu, said the partnership is aimed at encouraging maintenance culture, cost reduction and provision of convenient payment structure for driver-partners.
