DiDi Moto now available in Santiago from RD$40

• Those who sign up as DiDi Moto driver partners can earn up to RD$18,000 in their first week.

• Users can enjoy welcome promotions including free trip requests.

11 October, Santiago, Dominican Republic. – People who need to get around quickly, safely and affordably in Santiago province can now do so through “DiDi Moto”, a technology app that lets users request trips by connecting with motorcycle driver partners. To celebrate the launch, during the first month and while daily supplies last, users can make free service requests worth up to RD$115 using the app.

They can also enjoy promotions and coupons redeemable against trip payments by connecting through DiDi Passenger.

Likewise, motorcyclists in the “Heart City” who decide to use DiDi Driver as a way to earn extra income independently and flexibly can take advantage of exclusive welcome promotions offered by the app. The app will guarantee motorcycle drivers earnings of RD$3,000 for completing 15 trips a day during their first week after signing up. This means that in the first week of the launch, after 6 days they could earn up to RD$18,000.

“We are thrilled to launch DiDi Moto in Santiago right at the start of the winter baseball season, a sport that makes people from Santiago very proud. With this new feature, users who need to get to their destination quickly and cheaply can connect with driver partners verified in the app to go wherever they like, such as work, a shopping centre or an entertainment venue like the Estadio Cibao, at affordable prices,” explained Jorge Ordóñez, Regional Director for DiDi.

In May this year, the Dominican Republic became the first country in Spanish-speaking America where DiDi Moto was launched. In Santiago, as well as this new option for requesting motorcycle mobility, users can turn to DiDi Express if they need a trip for more than one person and to DiDi Food if they want food delivered.

Users who want to avoid traffic jams can now access DiDi Moto by downloading the “DiDi Passenger” app from the App Store, Google Play and AppGallery, and if they already have the app on their phone, the new feature will be available automatically, with no extra steps.

Extra earnings for motorcycle owners 

By connecting whenever they want and taking advantage of a robust technology platform, DiDi Moto allows anyone with a motorcycle to supplement their earnings independently, with flexibility and freedom, while offering one of the most competitive service fees on the market – just 15% when using the app

To sign up as a driver on DiDi Moto, drivers must download the “DiDi Driver” app, be over 18, upload a profile photo, have a valid driving licence and upload a photo of their vehicle registration or route permit. These documents will be reviewed and, if the requirements are met, they will be accepted in the app as driver partners.
