Here are the specific requirements and procedures for running Didi: 1. Vehicle age requirement: To join Didi Express, the vehicle must be less than 8 years old, and for Didi Premium, less than 6 years old; the mileage should be within 100,000 kilometers, and the vehicle must be in good condition. 2. Relevant procedures: All vehicle violations must be resolved, and the vehicle must have obtained local license plates and a ride-hailing operation certificate, meeting local ride-hailing requirements. 3. Luxury vehicle requirements: Didi Luxury has stricter requirements and is currently only available in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou. The specific eligible luxury models include Audi A6L, Audi A6 (imported), Audi A8L; BMW 5 Series, BMW 5 Series (imported), BMW 7 Series; Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Mercedes-Benz Vito, Mercedes-Benz S-Class; Tesla Model-S, and Tesla Model-X.
I've been driving for Didi for three years and know this quite well. Initially, you need to prepare basic documents: original ID card, valid C1 driver's license (must have at least 3 years of driving experience), vehicle registration certificate (the car must be either yours or leased, with an age limit generally within 8 years), and complete compulsory insurance policy. Then, download the Didi app on your phone, register an account, fill in personal information, and upload photos—the process takes about 10 minutes. Next is online training and an exam covering safety rules and map navigation, with a high pass rate. The review takes 3-7 days, and once approved, you can start accepting orders. Make sure your car is in good condition, like functioning air conditioning and unworn tires, as these directly affect passenger ratings and your income. Didi's platform management is quite strict, but it offers stable customer flow, with monthly earnings potentially exceeding 10,000 yuan. Just remember to comply with local ride-hailing policies to avoid violations.
