Didi is presented as a promising option to consider and is strongly positioned in the market as a clear competitor to Uber. Inevitably this makes us ask what differences exist between Didi and Uber? Which is better Uber or Didi? In the end, only you can decide which one is better, but you also need to take into account where you earn more.
In order to reach a conclusion, I invite you to join me in this article where we are going to investigate each of the options that the different applications have. Trying to buy each of them so that in this way we have a clearer idea of what each of the apps offers us.
the great promise
In any kind of field, competition is essential. After all, the only ones who benefit from it are the users and/or clients. Didi is a platform that started in 2012, so it has a lot of experience in the market.
It works quite similarly to others like Uber, Cabify or Easy Taxi. Another thing to consider is that said platform handles dynamic rates. This means that depending on the situation the price may vary. Take into consideration if the technical support solves your problems quickly when charging or making invoices.
Main differences between Uber and DIDI
What you should keep in mind is that, within everything, the differences in terms of service do not vary too much. The most important thing is actually the human factor, without neglecting some features of the application, which are very important.
What we all look for when we use a service like this, is to find a driver who is friendly and reliable. Also, that you pick us up in a car that is safe and of quality. The waiting time is also important, after all, nobody likes to wait a long time.
In turn we have to consider how the app works in general terms. It may be that one of the applications works worse than the other or that the speed of it is superior to the competition, etc.
About drivers cars
So that you have a slight idea of what you are going to find when you ask for a car, we will leave you the normal ones that any driver is required to comply with in order to be part of Didi.
Requirements for DiDi drivers
- The car must be four-door and have capacity for four people, leaving aside the driver.
- Said car must be a 2012 model onwards to guarantee the safety of the passenger and driver.
- The brakes have to be ABS, this is extremely important, as are the seat belts and the air bag.
- Private insurance with comprehensive coverage is another essential factor that is required for all drivers who want to work with Didi.
Requirements for Uber drivers
- The car has to be worth $200,000.
- Both mechanically and aesthetically it must be impeccable without any kind of fault, no matter how minimal.
- Vehicle model must be 2007 and up.
- Said car has to have four doors.
If you think you have met all these requirements, you tried to join the DiDi team but you were not accepted, it would be good for you to look at an article we recently did, where we explain the details to take into account to be accepted.
Regarding the rates between Uber or DIDI
Didi wants to position himself very strongly in the market and it shows that he is betting everything to achieve it and take a good slice of Uber. For this, the prices have been adjusted so that they are between 6-8% below those managed by Uber.
To give you an idea, the minimum Uber fare is $40 while Didi’s is $32.00 (Approximate prices). Therefore, we can conclude that trips in Didi end up being cheaper. If after having come this far, you decide to register with DiDi, in our blog we explain how to do it safely.
