2 Answers
Didi Express driver requirements are: 3+ years of driving experience for premium service; 1+ year for express service. Below are Didi's relevant requirements: Conditions: Applicants must possess ID card, driver's license, vehicle license, and demonstrate hardworking and enterprising spirit. Notes: "Online Car-hailing Transport Permit" and "Online Car-hailing Driver's License". A tip for getting big orders with Didi Express is to go to busy locations like airports, train stations, hotels, bars, KTVs, and entertainment venues where people have higher spending power and order volume is greater, increasing chances of getting premium orders.
I remember when registering for Didi, a minimum of 3 years of driving experience was required. After I submitted my driver's license scan, the platform automatically verified the dates, and if it didn't meet the requirement, the application was directly rejected. This rule stems from safety considerations—new drivers have a higher accident rate, and three years of experience helps you become more familiar with urban road conditions, such as peak-hour traffic jams or emergency maneuvers. I drove for two years and felt that only after accumulating enough experience would I dare to accept ride requests; otherwise, it would be chaotic. Didi also requires no major traffic violations—driving experience is a hard threshold. I recommend new drivers practice with their own cars first and not rush to earn money. After all, passenger safety comes first, and longer driving experience can reduce the risks of minor collisions and fatigue driving, making the overall service more reliable.
