How long after getting a driver's license can you rent shared cars?

You can drive shared cars immediately after obtaining your driver's license, but you need to display a probationary driver sign at the rear of the vehicle. Here's relevant information: Probationary period: According to Article 74 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses', the first 12 months after a driver initially obtains a license or adds a new vehicle category is considered the probationary period. Additional reference: Article 22 of the 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that motor vehicle driving licenses are valid for 6 years unless otherwise specified. The first 12 months after initially obtaining a license is the probationary period. During this period, drivers must display a standardized probationary sign at the rear of their vehicle.
Just got your driver's license and want to try car-sharing? I found that the most common requirement is having at least one year of driving experience after obtaining the license. Platforms like GoFun or MoreFun will automatically verify your license issue date during registration. If it's less than 12 months, you'll be blocked immediately. As someone who's used shared cars for a while, this policy is mainly for safety reasons—new drivers tend to panic more easily and have higher accident rates. My advice is to wait patiently, practice with a private car first, and get familiar with urban road conditions before jumping in. Don't rush to rent; gaining some experience first will make your transition smoother, avoiding potential damage, injuries, or unnecessary trouble.
