Shenzhen online car-hailing industry operation dynamics and risk warnings in July 2024

In order to provide reference for decision-making for enterprises or individuals who intend to engage in online taxi booking services, the dynamic information of Shenzhen's online taxi industry in July 2024 is now released.

1. Industry Operation

As of July 31, there are 28 online taxi-hailing platforms in our city, and 121,046 "Online Taxi Transport Certificates" and 323,508 "Shenzhen Taxi Driver Certificates" have been issued.

According to data from various platforms,This month, the average daily number of online ride-hailing orders completed in the city is about 12.8 orders, and the average daily number of vehicles receiving orders is about 90,000.

II. Risk Warning

With the arrival of summer vacation, the number of online ride-hailing orders this month has also increased slightly as the demand for summer travel increases. It is expected that this situation will have obvious seasonal characteristics and will fluctuate over time. At the same time, our city's public transportation system is becoming increasingly complete. The density of urban rail transit lines ranks first in the country, and the coverage rate of bus stops within 500 meters has reached 100%. Citizens have more and more public transportation options.As a supplement to urban public transportation, the market for online ride-hailing services has become saturated.

We hereby remind companies and practitioners who intend to engage in online car-hailing operations that they should learn about the relevant laws and regulations on online car-hailing in detail, conduct market research, fully consider the impact of supply and demand, market conditions and other factors on operating income, objectively evaluate the actual income level of industry practitioners, and make rational and prudent choices. At the same time, based on the cases of some cities in China, practitioners who intend to engage in the industry should be highly vigilant and guard against the following risks to avoid economic losses:

First, the "working mode" and "guaranteed mode" are set up in which the company collects and distributes the driver's order flow income on a unified basis through the contract. The driver does not have the authority to control the order flow, and there is a risk that the loss will be difficult to recover if the company is not well managed;

Second, intermediary service providers who are not authorized by the online ride-hailing platform earn intermediary car rental fees or "referral fees" by promoting vehicles of other online ride-hailing companies. Without the cooperation support and long-term business plan of the online ride-hailing platform, if there are business risks, they are likely to have contractual or economic disputes with drivers;

Third, they use advertising models such as high turnover and high monthly salaries to attract drivers to sign car rental contracts, but the actual income is difficult to reach the level advertised, and drivers also face the risk of default such as early return of the car;

Fourth, be alert to risky "routines" such as false promises that you can work without a license, promises to repay principal and interest or other investment returns, etc. Give priority to renting cars through platforms that promise deposit guarantees and legal aid for disputes. When signing a contract, please carefully confirm the terms of the contract and agreement signed with the company, clarify the content of the agreement between the two parties and the risks you need to bear, and protect your own rights and interests in accordance with the law.
