How do I get a bigger Didi car?

Choose Premium or Luxury instead of Express and add a luggage or group note; cancel if a small car arrives.

What if no large car is available?

Book two Express cars, or use a 6-seat or van type, or ask your hotel to arrange one.

You need a larger car for luggage or a group
