How long after getting a driver's license can you use shared cars?
2 Answers
You can use shared cars after holding a driver's license for one year. Here is relevant information: Rental conditions: General car rental requirements are "being at least 18 years old and possessing two original certificates", meaning you can use shared cars as long as you have your ID card and driver's license. Amid the wave of the sharing economy, car rental platforms have emerged by deeply integrating mobile internet with car time-sharing rentals, breaking traditional car travel models to serve urban short-distance travel needs. Highway driving: Passing the driving test and obtaining a license means you can drive, but during the probationary period, you are not allowed to drive alone on highways. Highway driving requires accompaniment by an "experienced driver" who has held a same-level or higher license for at least two years.
When I first got my driver's license, I couldn't wait to try car-sharing and immediately downloaded the app to register. However, I found that platforms have different requirements. For example, some apps like GoFun require the license to be held for at least one year, as new drivers are more prone to accidents, which increases insurance claims. If you've just obtained your license, it's best to check the qualification requirements of the car-sharing app you want to use. Usually, the registration process automatically verifies the duration of your license, and if it's less than a year, you might be prompted that the service cannot be unlocked temporarily. I suggest that new drivers shouldn't rush; instead, practice with a friend's car or rent a car for a few months to gain road experience. This is safer and more cost-effective, as car-sharing has a relatively high collision rate—remember to get good insurance. In short, don't get discouraged; with patience, you'll eventually be able to scan and go.
