You cannot become a DiDi driver with just over one year of driving experience. Below are the relevant requirements for becoming a DiDi driver: 1. Vehicle requirements: (1) The vehicle must be less than 8 years old; (2) The mileage must be less than 100,000 kilometers and the vehicle must be in good condition; (3) The vehicle's base price must be over 70,000 RMB (based on the invoice amount). 2. Driver requirements: (1) Male drivers must be aged 22-60, female drivers must be aged 22-50; (2) The driver must have no traffic violations and no major health issues. (3) To join as a DiDi Express driver, a C2 or higher driver's license is required with at least 1 year of driving experience; to join as a DiDi Premium driver, a C1 or higher driver's license is required with at least 3 years of driving experience.
I've been driving for over a year and recently considered driving for Didi to earn some extra income. According to Didi's platform rules, they generally require at least one year of driving experience, but the specific requirements depend on your city's regulations. For example, major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou might have stricter requirements. I checked online, and the official website states that a C1 driver's license and no major traffic violations are sufficient. As a beginner with limited experience, I often took wrong turns when I first started driving for Didi, but I've become much more skilled now. Don’t take safety lightly—I recommend running a few short trips during the day to get familiar with it first. If you’re serious about trying, download the Didi Driver app, fill in your details, and the system will automatically review your eligibility. Overall, one year of driving experience basically meets the requirements, but you should assess your own risk tolerance.
