Can I drive for Didi right after getting my driver's license?
2 Answers
You cannot drive for Didi immediately after obtaining your driver's license. You must have held the license for at least one year, meaning the driver must have at least one year of driving experience. Basic requirements: Age: Male 21-60 years old; Female 21-55 years old; Driving condition: 3 years or more, driver's license C2 or above. Additionally, there must be "no records of violent crimes or serious traffic violations." Below is additional information: Basic conditions for driving for Didi: Verification of the authenticity of the applicant's ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate. Criminal record screening—applicants who fail the criminal record screening system will not be admitted. Traffic violation records and major liability accident screening—applicants with 12 points deducted for traffic violations within one year or major traffic liability accidents within three years will not be admitted.
When I first got my driver's license, I also thought about making money by driving for Didi. I was quite excited, but after checking, I realized this idea wouldn't work. There's a 12-month probation period for new drivers, and traffic regulations prohibit new drivers from engaging in professional driving. The Didi platform automatically screens driving experience during registration, and if it's less than 1 year, the application is directly rejected. New drivers have less experience and higher accident risks, which can also cause insurance costs to skyrocket. Don’t rush into this pitfall. First, practice with your private car for at least half a year, accumulate mileage by driving in urban conditions, and only apply for Didi when your skills are stable—that’s when earning money becomes reliable. Don’t lose big for small gains. It’s like playing a game: you can’t tackle high-level dungeons right from the start; you have to level up step by step.
