Question:

Is DIDI available for all the trips listed in the itinerary?

Are there situations where we might face difficulty finding a DIDI vehicle to accommodate our group of six people?

Didi is widely used in Guangdong province, including Jieyang, Chaozhou, and Meizhou. For your itinerary, most of the trips are feasible using Didi, but there are some practical considerations to keep in mind.

Availability and considerations for your trips:

  • Airport to hotel (Jieyang Chaoshan Airport → Vienna International Hotel): This should be straightforward, as the airport is a common Didi pickup location. Standard vehicles should be sufficient.
  • Jieyang → Tanjiang (18 May, morning): Didi operates in smaller towns like Tanjiang, but availability may be less frequent than in larger cities. Booking in advance via the app is recommended.
  • Tanjiang → Meizhou (18 May, evening): This is a long intercity trip (~4–5 hours). Didi can cover it, but it may be more expensive and drivers might not always accept such long-distance rides. It may be more reliable to arrange a private car or van through Didi or a local travel agency.
  • Meizhou → Chaozhou (20 May): Another intercity trip (~3–4 hours). Same considerations apply: Didi can provide the service, but pre-booking or using a larger vehicle service is recommended for comfort.

Vehicle capacity for six people:

  • Standard Didi cars typically accommodate up to 4 passengers. For a group of six, you will need a larger vehicle, such as a Didi Premier XL, SUV, or MPV/minivan option.
  • Availability of larger vehicles may be limited in smaller towns (Tanjiang, some parts of Meizhou). Booking well in advance is advisable to secure a suitable vehicle.
  • For long intercity trips with six passengers and luggage, renting a private van or minibus for the day may be more reliable, comfortable, and potentially cost-effective.

Summary recommendations:

  • Use standard Didi vehicles for airport transfers and local trips within Chaozhou or Meizhou city.
  • For intercity trips (Tanjiang → Meizhou, Meizhou → Chaozhou) and groups of six, consider pre-booking a larger vehicle or private transport through Didi or a local travel agency.
  • Always check the Didi app in advance for vehicle availability and estimated fares, especially in smaller towns and for evening departures.

In conclusion, Didi can generally accommodate your planned trips, but long-distance rides and a group of six will require careful planning and possibly reserving larger vehicles in advance to ensure a smooth journey.
