In a short video on TikTok, the dealer spoke about a driver identified as Randy, who is reportedly generating steady weekly sales by operating the Japanese vehicle.
What Bolt driver reportedly makes weekly
Speaking casually, Elconshi stated that the driver makes about GH¢3,000 every week.
“Okay, this is a quick one, guys. This is an update on Randy. He said he makes 3,000 cedis a week driving a Voxy,” he said.
He quickly clarified that the weekly amount represents total sales, not actual profit, as it does not include expenses such as fuel, food, or personal tips, meaning the real take-home income would be lower after deductions.
Elconshi added that the vehicle is used strictly for commercial purposes, a model that has become common in Ghana’s growing transport space.
The video also featured an on-screen caption that read:
“Voxy is now the new cash cow aside from Toyota Hiace. Invest in it now.”
The statement has since drawn mixed reactions online, with many comparing Voxy’s potential to other income-generating vehicles already popular in Ghana.

Toyota Voxy is becoming a trend
While the Toyota Hiace continues to dominate the commercial transport sector, smaller vehicles are gaining attention, especially among drivers who operate through ride-hailing platforms like Bolt and Uber.
Unlike traditional trotros, Voxy drivers can use the vehicle for both shuttle services and ride-hailing, giving them more flexibility.
Some drivers said that combining regular commercial trips with Bolt or Uber rides helps increase daily earnings, especially during peak hours.
However, just like the GH¢3,000 weekly sales mentioned in the video, earnings from Bolt and Uber are also not pure profit.
Drivers still have to deal with fuel costs, maintenance and levies charged by the platforms.

For many social media users, the video was both eye-catching and thought-provoking.
While some were impressed by the numbers, others were quick to point out that actual profits depend heavily on how the vehicle is managed.
In the end, the discussion has highlighted one key point: whether through trotros, Voxy, or ride-hailing platforms, vehicle ownership in Ghana can be profitable, but only when the numbers are carefully understood.
