Does Didi Private Taxi charge extra on rainy days?

The Didi Private Car system will automatically add money when it rains. The price on rainy days is calculated using the dynamic price increase system, which is 1.5 times the normal price.

However, Didi has announced a double capping mechanism for the premium of express trains. First, the price increase for express trains will not exceed 50% (that is, the adjustment will not exceed 1.5 times). Second, the final increase amount for express trains will not exceed 59 yuan. Express trains do not exceed 29 yuan, and all the additional fares go to the driver.

Extended information

Didi Private Car is a common tool for our travels. So, the reasons why Didi increases fares on rainy days:

1. Didi’s ride-hailing services are relatively scarce on rainy days.

When rainy days come, all travel tools, especially online car-hailing and taxis, must be in short supply.

At this time, we usually need to increase the fare to travel. In fact, this is quite normal. Services under special circumstances should be different from normal weather. After all, the risk factor on rainy days is much higher than that on sunny days

2. Rainy days are relatively more traffic jams and costly.

Rainy days are the most serious time for traffic jams. Drivers’ vision is blurred when driving and it is difficult to identify directions, resulting in limited speed. In addition, pedestrians and other non-motor vehicles do not obey traffic rules more often on rainy days, causing more obstacles. Drivers are required to give way.

After this, the trip that used to take 5 minutes has become 10 minutes or even a quarter of an hour. This will increase the overall fuel consumption cost, so the price is slightly more expensive on rainy days.
