Tips for an Angkas Driver
Safety is a top priority, if you are sick, drunk or not feeling well, then don’t drive
Be polite to the passengers and offer them what they need – be it masks if it’s dusty or shower cap if your helmet doesn’t smell good anymore; a polite Angkas driver will have more stars and get good reviews
Ask passenger if they would want a specific route or suggest a route if that would be okay with them, most Angkas riders are those who are in a hurry – so if you know a route much easier, sabihin mo sa passenger mo – baka mag-alala at matakot
Know the peak hours – usually, it will be mornings before work or after work when people want to go home; it will be traffic and some want to be in a hurry. Make sure you are available by then.
Stand-by at a place where there will be a lot of passengers – school, work area – you can stand by there on a shade and wait for your booking
Bring a charger, sayang naman if ma-lobat ka at dami pang passenger
Don’t forget to eat and go to the bathroom. Yung iba, drive lang ng drive at walang kain – ang resulta nyan mag-kakasakit ka. So stop and eat, mas malaki yung gastos mo sa hospital kaysa kita mo ng isang ride.
There will be days that are good and bad, so be patient.
Attend trainings and use what you have learned well.
Clean your motorcycle, helmets and yourself. Para nice tingnan.
Bring change. Have extra money na panukli mo.
FAQs for Angkas Drivers
1. How much will I earn?
Angkas charges a passenger Php 50 for the first 2km and Php 10 for every subsequent kilometer though it will be higher during peak hours. So if you have 10 passengers a day, then you will at least have Php 500.00
2. What phone do I need?
Anything that has an Android App is what Angkas Driver needs. iPhone is not allowed, though passengers with iPhones are okay.
3. Do I need to pass the test?
Yes, you need to do an obstacle course and know the road signs to be a driver. Angkas is very strict on safety and wants to make sure they have the best drivers.
4. I have failed the exam, does it mean my dream has ended?
No, you can retake the Angkas driver test again, and hopefully, you will be better and pass!
5. Do I need to be a full-time Angkas driver?
No, you can do it part-time. There are drivers who do it on their rest days before they go to work or after their work when they still have time. It will be a good extra income.
6. What is the difference between habal-habal drivers and Angkas?
Angkas, let’s people book through an App and most passengers like this because it is safer (there’s a picture of the Angkas driver) and they already know how much to pay (so no need to be tricked) plus there is insurance for safety and proper gears.
7. Do I have other perks?
Yes, you will get gears for you and something to be used by your passengers. Plus there are incentives if you are a good performer (many bookings and many 5 stars.) There are also events held by Angkas you can attend – concerts, free oil change and the like.
