Getting around

Find your DiDi driver and get where you need to go.

A DiDi driver may call to ask where you are standing, what entrance you are near, or whether you can see the car. Rehearsing those answers makes pickup much less stressful.

Useful phrases to practice

Confirm the pickup point

我在门口 (wǒ zài mén kǒu) means “I am at the entrance.” Add a landmark when possible.

Ask where the driver is

你到哪儿了？(nǐ dào nǎr le?) means “Where are you now?” It is casual and natural for a driver call.

Confirm your destination

麻烦送我到这里 (má fan sòng wǒ dào zhè lǐ) means “Please take me here.” Show the destination on your phone as you say it.
