From Saturday, taxi rides at a fixed price possible
In Hamburg, passengers can order taxi rides at a fixed price starting Saturday. As with other transportation options, the price is set before the ride, as stated by the Hamburg Senate.
Previously, passengers in Hamburg paid a base price of 6 euros at most times, with the total fare calculated using a taximeter. Starting February 1st, the base price will drop to 4.50 euros, but the grace minute will be eliminated. This means the meter continues to run even when the taxi is stationary.
Fixed Price is Worth it in Traffic Jams
The fixed price for a trip from Dammtor to the airport costs 35 euros with the Hansa Funktaxi cooperative, the association announced in response to an inquiry from the German Press Agency. If the price is calculated using the taximeter, at least 30.80 euros will be charged for the same route.
However, if there are waiting times due to a traffic jam or other reasons, the costs increase. And this can quickly become expensive: Hansa-Taxi charges 63 cents per minute.
Passengers who find the price calculation with the taximeter too uncertain should therefore be able to switch to the new fixed price. However, this option is only available when ordering through a taxi dispatch service and not directly at the start of the journey.
```Hansa-Taxi welcomes the new pricing regulation: "Fixed prices work very well in other cities and have boosted business," said a spokesperson for the association.
Test phase aims to provide clarity
During a two-year trial phase, the responsible authority for transport and mobility transition wants to investigate the acceptance and implementation of fixed price models. After that, it will be decided which pricing method will be permanently implemented.
