Didi Australia Driver Promotions – Rewards, Bonuses and more

Didi rolled out in Australia at the end of 2018, only a few months after Ola officially introduced, but at that time there was already an Uber that has been operating for more than 4 years in this country. Despite coming late to the party, Didi got enough attention from rideshare drivers across the country because it came with something different.

Didi knows that drivers are very important in this business because to be able to compete and boost the market share, they must have enough drivers on the road to meet ride demand and cut down on customer waiting times. In order to attract drivers to sign up, they come with a 5% commission fee, even though the offer has changed recently.

For your information, other rideshare apps like Ola and Uber in Australia and NZ used a default commission fee of 18% – 25%. Didi’s low commission offer turned out to be a strong magnet so that a lot of drivers finally joined their platform.

In addition to luring new drivers to work on their platforms with lower commission fees, Didi also strives to improve driver retention by strengthening relationships with them and also by providing several rewards and financial bonuses that could increase their income.
