Argentina: Confirm the service type, plate and payment method before boarding. The cheapest quote is not always the fastest or best-rated pickup.
Australia: Check DiDi for discount codes when you first sign up. Fares are frequently cheaper than Uber during non-surge periods.
China: Type your destination in English. Didi understands major landmarks and hotel names.
Colombia: DiDi is often cheaper than Uber as of mid-2026. Add a foreign card before arrival and keep cash because individual products vary.
Costa Rica: DiDi is usually cheaper than Uber for the same urban route. Keep cash if your foreign card is declined by local processing.
Dominican Republic: Use it when Uber supply or pricing is poor, but check the live pickup before relying on it. Keep the trip in the app and verify the driver, vehicle, and plate.
Ecuador: Do not rely on DiDi in Guayaquil or Cuenca. Install Uber or inDrive for travel beyond Quito.
Egypt: Useful when Uber or Careem has poor availability. Confirm that service is active at your exact location because seasonal areas can change.
Mexico: Compare the final quote and pickup time, keep the trip in the app and use only a pickup allowed by the airport or terminal.
Panama: Keep cash and compare the quote with Uber and inDrive. Coverage becomes unreliable beyond the Panama City metro area.
Peru: DiDi is often cheaper than UberX as of mid-2026. Add a card before arrival and retain cash in case the available product is cash-only.
