Male age requirement is 22-60 years old, female age requirement is 22-50 years old, calculated by natural month. 1. Didi Express vehicle entry requirements: (1) Basic conditions: 5-7 seat cars in good condition. (1) Vehicle owner: The driven vehicle must be the registered vehicle, either self-owned or with the owner's permission. (1) Others: Refer to the entry requirements of the city, such as: license plate, price, wheelbase and other restrictions. 2. Starting with Express: For drivers, all drivers start with Express at the beginning. After completing a certain number of orders and the vehicle model meets the requirements of Premier, they can be upgraded to Premier. 3. Insurance as required by the state: Owners applying to join the platform's Express need to insure compulsory traffic insurance as required by the state, and Premier also needs to insure commercial insurance as required by the platform in terms of types and amounts. Didi provides an additional comprehensive accident insurance with a maximum single coverage of 1.2 million RMB for platform Express users, including Didi drivers and all passengers. 4. Service capability: According to the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Car-hailing Business Services", owners applying to engage in online car-hailing business should have online and offline service capabilities. Among them, the owner's online service capability is recognized once by the relevant provincial departments where the enterprise is registered, and is valid nationwide.

I've been driving for Didi for almost five years now, and there are indeed regulations regarding age. The platform requires drivers to be between 21 and 60 years old. I registered when I was 28, which felt quite reasonable. If young people under 21 drive, they might lack the maturity to handle emergencies properly; those over 60 may struggle with physical stamina, making long drives tiring. Safety comes first! Health conditions also matter—during registration, you need to upload your ID card, driver's license, and a medical report. You also need at least one year of driving experience, as new drivers have higher accident rates. I've seen some enthusiastic young guys with little experience get restricted by the platform after minor accidents. Overall, the age limits protect both passengers and us drivers. Driving for Didi is a good way to earn some extra income for the family.

I applied to be a DiDi driver as soon as I turned 21. The age requirement is strictly between 21 and 60—no younger, no older. Being young and energetic but with just one year of driving experience, the platform was quite rigorous in verifying my age and documents during the review. Why such requirements? Probably government regulations favor more mature and stable drivers. Those too young, like 18-year-olds fresh from getting their licenses, might drive recklessly and pose risks; while those over 60 may have slower reflexes and struggle with peak-hour traffic. I’ve heard regional variations are minor, with safety being the core concern everywhere. The registration process was straightforward—just fill out a form and upload documents. Now, driving for DiDi offers flexibility and freedom, plus a chance to hone my driving skills.

As a frequent DiDi user, I find the driver age requirement of 21 to 60 very necessary. Passenger safety is paramount! Younger drivers may be enthusiastic but prone to reckless behaviors like speeding or running red lights; older drivers have more experience and drive steadily, but those over 60 may experience physical decline. The platform enforces this rule strictly, verifying age with ID during registration to ensure compliance. How dangerous it would be if an unqualified driver caused an accident due to age discrepancy. As a parent traveling with children, I particularly appreciate this regulation. The complex driving environment demands rule compliance for everyone's peace of mind.
