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.
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.
