China: Implementation of Measures for the Operation of the Interactive Platform for the Supervision and Regulation of Online Booking Rental Cars

On 1 July 2022, the Measures for the Operation of the Interactive Platform for the Supervision and Regulation of Online Booking Rental Cars, on the handling and maintenance of data from ride-hailing services are implemented. The new Measures require local transportation authorities to transmit licensing information of ride-hailing services to a central database in real-time or send the data twice a week. Ride-hailing service providers are required to regularly submit information regarding their drivers, orders, and location, with a number of additional requirements, such as the designation of a responsible person and notification requirements in case of disruptions. Further, the ride-hailing service provider is responsible for the quality of the data submitted. The data has to meet the standards of data integrity, standardisation, timeliness and authenticity. The quality of the submitted data will be subject to regular review.
