2、UberSELECT
Compare medium-range models.

6、Uber Eats
A delivery car. The requirements for drivers and vehicles are not high, whether it is cars, motorcycles, bicycles. Drivers over the age of 18, with a full-time driver`s license, insurance, basically can meet the requirements.

These models are not necessarily purchased by themselves, and Uber also provides car rental services. Vehicles shall meet the following conditions:4 door cars, no more than 8 passenger positions, good performance, no more than the required vehicle age, registration in the operating area, can pass vehicle inspection, registration as operating vehicle, and the driver must buy vehicle insurance as required.
Once the registration is completed, all the materials are submitted, and after the vehicle is examined, it can wait for the examination.
When the audit is completed, your account is activated and you can pick up the order!
After studying Uber, we have another option, that is, to parachute to Australia from China.
The registered address of Didi DIDI in Australia is as follows: https://www.didiglobal.com/au/driver.html
Didi landed in Melbourne on June 25 last year and gave everyone a gift as soon as he opened business: by the end of July, passengers would receive a 50 percent discount of up to A $10 at a time, up to two times a day. Drivers registered before June 25 will receive a A $200 bonus after completing 20 trips in seven days and A $100 for drivers registered after June 25.
We can see that the two online car hailing requirements for vehicles and drivers are not much different. As a Didi driver, you also need to reach the age of 21, drive a vehicle that meets Didi`s standards, must have insurance for your driving vehicle, have a valid license and an Australian full-time driver`s license.
After reading the above registration strategy, do you find that to become a Uber, Didi driver, in fact, it is not difficult! The editor suggested that while there is a growing demand for online car hailing, with cars and idle friends, seize the opportunity to "lie down and make money."
