Do taxis need a ride-hailing qualification certificate to operate on Didi?
1 Answers
Renting a car to operate on Didi requires a ride-hailing qualification certificate. Additional information is as follows: 1. Operating on Didi requires two certificates: the "Online Car-hailing Transport Certificate" and the "Online Car-hailing Driver's Certificate". The new Didi policy implemented on New Year's Day 2019 clearly states that drivers registering for Didi ride-hailing services must hold both Didi certificates. The policy also introduced a "dual-certificate dispatch priority" model to encourage users to obtain the certificates, gradually phasing out unqualified private vehicles. 2. Obtaining the Didi ride-hailing qualification certificate: The advantage is that drivers do not need to worry about traffic inspections and can avoid severe penalties, allowing them to operate openly on the road. On the other hand, the downside of registering a private vehicle for Didi is the enforcement of the mandatory scrapping rule after 8 years or 600,000 kilometers. Even if the Didi account is deactivated later, this rule still applies. Additionally, in the event of passenger accidents involving injuries, commercial insurance companies have the right to refuse claims for compensation.
