2 Answers
2021 Didi vehicle registration has the following conditions: 1. The driver's age has not reached the legal retirement age, with males under 60 years old and females under 55 years old; 2. Possess the corresponding driver's license and have 3 years of actual driving experience, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the last 3 scoring cycles; 3. No records of dangerous driving, drunk driving, hit-and-run, etc., and must comply with local requirements. The general steps for registering with Didi are as follows: 1. Enter your mobile phone number to receive a verification code; 2. After entering the verification code, fill in the city license plate number, car brand, ID card, etc.; 3. Finally, the "Registration Successful" interface will appear, completing all operations; 4. After successful submission of the documents, wait for Didi's review. Once approved, the registration process is completed; 5. After registration, you need to participate in online learning and take an online test. Only after passing the test will Didi's platform review the documents. After passing the review, log in to the Didi driver software, and then you can start accepting orders.
In 2021, vehicles registered on the Didi platform had to meet several conditions; otherwise, they couldn’t operate as ride-hailing cars. The vehicles needed to have local license plates—in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, only locally registered vehicles were allowed, while out-of-town plates might not qualify. The vehicle age couldn’t be too old, generally requiring no more than 8 years of use, though some regions relaxed this to within 10 years. However, in 2021, most cities imposed an 8-year limit, as older cars are more prone to breakdowns. The vehicle type also had to be a standard passenger car, not a truck or modified vehicle. The car’s condition had to be good, with no major accidents or signs of unauthorized modifications—Didi would check the records. Emissions had to meet standards, with most areas requiring at least China V compliance in 2021, while megacities like Beijing and Shanghai might have raised this to China VI for better environmental friendliness. Finally, full commercial insurance covering passengers and the vehicle was mandatory, prioritizing safety and ensuring peace of mind for riders. I think these regulations are good—newer cars are more fuel-efficient and reliable, and Didi’s strict checks help guarantee a better passenger experience.
