The Federal Association for Taxi and Rental Car Trade e.V. is launching a new webinar format called "TAXIpraxis" for entrepreneurs in the taxi and rental car industry. As the association notes, the series is intended to address practically relevant topics with economic significance. The opening focuses on student transportation.

According to the association, this is a business field with stable demand and long-term contractual terms, which has been underestimated in the industry to date. The aim is to provide businesses with structured access to this market.

Two dates in April and May 2026

The webinar series begins with two consecutive sessions. The first webinar will take place on April 28, 2026, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. The focus is on school transport as a revenue opportunity. According to the association, an overview of market structures, typical awarding cycles, and legal foundations will be provided. In addition, it should be explained which public contracting authorities are relevant and how they differ. A live demonstration on a tender portal shows how suitable tenders can be researched.

The second webinar is scheduled for May 6, 2026, also from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Here it's about the path from the bid to the award. Based on concrete practical examples, it is shown what to pay attention to when submitting a bid. According to the association, bids often fail not due to price but to formal errors or inadequate costing. During the webinar, a sample calculation will be worked through and a real tender analyzed. In addition, the required documents will be explained and tips for using digital tools to streamline the process. (Registration link to the second webinar)

Experiences from Administration and Practice

The series is moderated by Michael Oppermann, Managing Director of the Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars. The speaker for both events will be Lars Lehmann, co-founder and Managing Director of Stadt.Land.Netz GmbH, based in Dresden. The company belongs to the association's circle of partners. On the topic of school transportation, we have already secured Lehmann's colleague Anne Wolak for Taxi Heute (here's the article).

Lehmann founded Stadt.Land.Netz in 2016. Previously, he worked as a team leader in a regional authority and dealt with procurement processes. According to the company, hundreds of counties, cities and transport companies nationwide use the provider's software solutions. (Source: Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars e.V.)
