DiDi launched in Australia in 2018 and offers ridesharing services in major cities and some regional areas across the country. Customers can book a ride via DiDi’s app and choose between Express or Max rides, depending on the number of people hopping into the car. DiDi also offers a Travel option for longer trips. Drivers can bid a price for your Travel trip request and you can then select the driver you want to go with based on their rating and bid price.
