Hi All,

If i travel to China, let say shenzhen, will i still able to use my Uber and Grabcar app to call a ride when i reach there?

Thanks.

they have their own software there

nope


uber is haram in china

Uber lingkup already there.
Grab is for southeast Asia country only.

So it mean our Uber app can use there as well?
Need any procedure to link or something?

definitely not in China.
yes in other country where Uber is still alive.

Then it look like the only way is to get taxi from roadside when travelling in China.
Ahh.. sound difficult.



So usually how you guys settle the transport when travelling in China? Mind to share?

When i went to beijing previously, i just use their subway. cheap and efficient enough.

But TBH since i can't speak mandarin and their english literacy is really low, better get guide la. Else, u just visit here & there, but don't know the story behind it.

In China, they use Didi.

you need to use didi, www.didichuxing.com

In April this year, I used Uber in Xi'an and Shanghai. Easy peasy and cheap.

That's in April. In August, Uber sold their China operations to Didi. It was in the news.

Possible for us to use Didi in China under roaming condition?

So that time when you use uber in there, need to open new uber account or not? or use malaysia uber account is ok?
Use with malaysia sim card or china sim card that time?

I might possible use uber in hong kong soon..

With the Uber account set up in Malaysia but local sim. I always get a local sim the moment I arrive at any airport.

Used a Uber in China (now supposedly illegal), Rome, Lisbon, Porto, Paris, London, with no issue at all. Our Uber partner in Shanghai and Lisbon were so good that we made private arrangement with them for specially tailored trips.

In oct 2016, i tried to test uber apps in china with my account and app which setup in malaysia. When i open the apps, it prompt me to login and the apps interface changed to chinese. Is this normal? I remember that time i already login in malaysia before i go china and i am using the wifi in the hotel.

After see this strange things.. then i give up trying further. Haha.

Didi Dache

China's version of Uber.

haha.. made Uber illegal and then make Didi Dache legal.
Both app basically offer the same things.

I guess Didi Dache is very not foreigner-friendly. Not sure we can use there or not.
If Uber sure no problem.



Anyone have experience using Didi Dache in China?

They jave their own app called didi.

I know it sounds obscene but its true.

Uber ceased operation on early December and become uber didi something like that

Program only in Chinese coz only new takeover

U can take their taxi, their taxi strictly uses meter
Don't take taxi without driver info display on dashboard, those are cari makan

If u are in tourist area, those cari makan will be infested there, just walk abit further to get others taxi

Don't ask how much, then they will give u a price instead off using meter knowing you are not local

I plan to try using Didi app when i reach there, hopefully it can work.
Worry during morning and evening peak hours difficult to get taxi from roadside.

Yeah one more thing
Uber didi only works with Union pay, alipay and wechat pay

Msia credit card/master visa won't work there for now

You can use wechat there to hail for taxi.

Chinese wechat are more advance than us. But make sure you have local credit card and +86 phone number

Possible to pay by cash like Uber and grabcar in Malaysia?

So we should go there and install wechat?
Why need local phone number?
