Can someone else's car be used as a Didi driver?
2 Answers
Someone else's car can be used as a Didi driver. Below are the application requirements for becoming a Didi driver: 1. License plate requirements: The joining driver must have their own car with a local license plate. Additionally, the car must have a base price of over 70,000 yuan and be less than 8 years old. 2. Driving experience: The joining driver must possess a C1 or higher driver's license with at least 3 years of driving experience, be between 22 and 60 years old, and drive a vehicle that matches their license class. 3. Personal requirements: The joining driver must hold a valid ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and driver's license, have no bad records or criminal history, be in good health, capable of fulfilling duties diligently, and demonstrate strong responsibility.
I'm recently considering driving for Didi, using a car borrowed from a friend. It seems feasible, but rules must be followed. First, the car owner must agree and sign an authorization letter, which needs to be uploaded to the Didi app. The platform requires the car not to be too old—generally within eight years—and it must be a sedan type. The insurance must cover commercial use; regular family insurance won't suffice, so commercial third-party liability insurance is necessary; otherwise, claims won't be paid in case of an accident. Last time I handled this, it was quite troublesome—I had to visit the vehicle management office to confirm the documents. Sharing some advice: don’t cut corners. First, check the car’s condition, like tires and brakes, to ensure safety before hitting the road. Occasionally driving can save money on buying a car, but avoid long-term use. Even with good relationships, wear and tear costs should be accounted for. In short, it’s doable, but follow the rules to avoid disputes.
