Dida Chuxing, JD Auto, Allianz JD forge strategic partnership in carpool service

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Chinese ride-share service operator Dida Chuxing ("Dida") recently announced a strategic partnership with JD Auto and Allianz JD, aiming to leverage their respective strengths to create innovative solutions tailored to the ride-sharing ecosystem. The collaboration will focus on developing customized insurance products and enhancing post-trip services to better serve Dida's carpool service users.

In the insurance sector, Dida and Allianz JD plan to introduce offerings such as trip cancellation coverage, road-trip protection, and travel insurance, designed specifically for carpool scenarios. Both drivers and passengers will have access to these protections. Future expansions will include niche services, such as pet-friendly trip coverage, catering to diverse user needs.

"This partnership enables Dida to provide more personalized and comprehensive travel protection on top of its existing standard offerings," a Dida product representative said.

On the post-trip services front, Dida will collaborate with JD Auto to offer users value-driven options for car washing, vehicle insurance renewal, refueling, maintenance, and automotive products, utilizing scenario-based and personalized recommendations. Additionally, JD Auto Service will serve as Dida's official partner platform for these services.

As the partnership deepens, Dida, JD Auto, and Allianz JD will explore further opportunities in vehicle maintenance, usage, car insurance, and travel-specific insurance, fostering innovative solutions for mutual growth.

Mr. Huang Ruimin, Vice President of Products at Dida Chuxing, highlighted the synergy between JD Auto's one-stop automotive services, Allianz JD's expertise in customized insurance, and Dida's carpool service ecosystem. He noted that the collaboration would move beyond traditional traffic-sharing models, delivering more scenario-driven, personalized, practical, and value-rich insurance and post-trip services to users.
