The driver cancels your ride

Request a new ride at once; try Premium or Taxi, and move to a more visible spot if it repeats.

Cancelled !

Cancellations are about availability, not you.

What you'll see

If the driver cancels after accepting, it is about availability, not you:

Order cancelled · Driver cancelled
滴滴 App 显示：订单已取消 / 司机已取消
Error-text level: L2 (observed wording). Exact in-app strings are being verified against a live device.

Why it happens

Drivers cancel for traffic, distance, or low fare. During peaks this happens more; re-requesting usually finds another car quickly.

Fastest fix, free: Request a new ride immediately; if it repeats, try Premium or Taxi and move to a visible spot.

Every case shows the diagnosis and the first step - free. The full step-by-step fix for this exact case, the decision tree, and the offline kit are $9.99.
