Should You Call a Premium Ride or a Fast Ride When You Have a Lot of Luggage?
2 Answers
When you have a lot of luggage, you can call a premium ride as the service is better. Here is some information about the Didi Premium service: 1. Introduction: On August 19, 2014, Didi Chuxing announced the launch of this product aimed at providing high-quality services for high-end business travelers. It was the second product launched after the Didi Taxi software, which targeted traditional taxi users. While Didi Taxi serves general taxi users, Didi Premium targets mid-to-high-end business travelers, ensuring more comprehensive coverage of the transportation industry and offering users more diversified travel options. 2. Market Advantage: Didi Premium is positioned for the mid-to-high-end market, focusing on business travel services, which fundamentally differentiates it from traditional taxis. The two services complement each other, providing users with more diverse travel options. On the Didi Premium platform, both vehicles and drivers come from legally qualified car rental companies and driver service agencies, undergoing strict screening, review, and training. Each premium vehicle is a mid-to-high-end car priced above 200,000 RMB. Drivers wear uniforms and provide standardized business etiquette services throughout the ride, including opening and closing doors, carrying luggage, and offering complimentary amenities such as chargers, beverages, dry and wet wipes, umbrellas, and special cushions for children and the elderly.
Recent insights from helping my parents move by taking several rides: If you have a lot of luggage, it's best to choose a premium car. Last week, with three large suitcases and two bags of bedding, I called a standard ride, and the back seat was completely packed. The driver kept complaining about potential overloading the whole way. Later, switching to a premium car was a completely different experience—the driver actively helped with the luggage. The GL8 model's trunk could fit a 28-inch suitcase vertically, and three more bags could be stacked in the back seat. Importantly, the premium fare includes waiting time, so there's no worry about the driver leaving if you take longer to organize things. If you're catching a flight, opting for a premium car is even more essential. Last time during heavy rain, the business car that accepted the ride came with snow chains and had securing straps in the trunk.
