Can I drive for Didi right after getting my driver's license?

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.

Buddy, just got your driver's license and already thinking about driving for Didi? Don't be silly. Didi requires a C1 license holder to have at least one year of driving experience before registering. A new license still in the probationary period will be rejected by the platform, and you won't even pass the registration review. The system verifies license details, and you might even get a negative rating if things go wrong. You'd be better off practicing city commuting with your own car first, getting familiar with navigation and traffic jams, and applying only when you've met the driving experience requirement to avoid wasted effort. Also, let's talk about insurance. Not only are premiums expensive for new drivers, but Didi also has strict vehicle standards, including age requirements. Don't just focus on making money and overlook safety risks. Understanding the platform's rules thoroughly will always benefit you.

I just got my driver's license last year and wanted to take Didi orders, but found out the platform wouldn't give me a chance. After asking experienced drivers, I learned you need at least one year of driving experience—during the probationary period, you can only drive regular cars. I drove on my own for another six months to improve my skills before running Didi, which is safer. Otherwise, newbies are prone to accidents and end up losing money. Remember to accumulate experience after getting your license—don't rush to make money. This industry has a low entry barrier but a slow start.

New drivers should not rush to drive for Didi. Regulations prohibit professional driving during the probationary period, and Didi sets a one-year driving experience requirement for approval—new drivers will be directly rejected. Inexperienced drivers have higher accident rates, endangering passenger safety and increasing traffic violation risks. It is recommended to accumulate at least 3,000 kilometers of driving experience first, apply to the platform only after the probationary period ends, and ensure proper vehicle insurance and condition. Safety should always come first—don’t let small mistakes lead to big consequences. Services like Didi involve responsibility, so caution is never wrong.
