3 Answers
Private cars can operate on Wanshun Ride-hailing. Here are the specific details: 1. Requirements for Wanshun Ride-hailing vehicles. The vehicle model requirement for Wanshun Ride-hailing is a 5-7 seater small car (passenger vehicle) in good condition and less than seven years old. Vans are not allowed. The age requirement for the vehicle may vary by location, so please refer to the "Local Online Car-hailing Operation and Service Management Regulations" for specifics. You can also call the Wanshun Ride-hailing service hotline to inquire about the vehicle admission standards. 2. Requirements for Wanshun driver registration. Male drivers must be between 21-60 years old, and female drivers between 21-55 years old, with no history of violent crimes or drug use. The driving experience must meet the local online car-hailing regulations, with a driving license type of C2 or above and at least three years of driving experience. There should be no records of serious traffic violations such as drunk driving or drug driving.
I previously drove my own private car on the Wanshun Ride-hailing platform to earn some extra income. During registration, there were some mandatory requirements to meet, such as the vehicle must be under 8 years old, the model must comply with city standards, and it must have valid annual inspection and compulsory insurance. The platform's review process was quite strict, requiring submission of a driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and car insurance proof. After approval, the vehicle's nature would change to operational. After actually taking orders, I found the income unstable, with the platform taking about 25% as commission. During peak hours, I could get many orders, but during off-peak times, it was quite idle. Vehicle wear and tear increased significantly compared to normal use, with rising fuel and maintenance costs. Driving for Wanshun Ride-hailing required frequently being online to accept orders and paying attention to the platform's dispatch rules. Overall, it's more suitable for people with ample free time.
From a regulatory perspective, private cars operating on WanShun Ride-Hailing must comply with local traffic regulations. Based on my understanding, most cities require vehicles to first convert to commercial use and obtain a ride-hailing operation license; otherwise, it will be considered illegal operation and subject to fines. The platform will guide you through the application process, including submitting documents on the official website and upgrading vehicle insurance during the annual inspection. In practice, insurance costs will be significantly higher, with commercial insurance being more than double the price of regular insurance. Regarding passenger safety, the platform provides background checks, but drivers must equip their vehicles with dashcams. After registration, regular training is required to ensure compliance. Overall, don’t expect immediate profits—initial investments are substantial, and compliance requirements are strict.
