At Frankfurt Airport, passengers can now more easily switch to rental cars arranged through the mobility platform Uber. The airport operator Fraport has specifically created an arrival and pick-up area at Terminal 1 for this purpose, as both companies report. Similar collaborations already exist at the Berlin and Düsseldorf airports, according to Uber.
Crisis meeting scheduled
Among the long-established taxi drivers at the airport, there is a sense of alarm over the competition, as Hans-Peter Kratz, chairman of the Frankfurt Taxi Association, reports. A crisis meeting has been scheduled. From his point of view, not much will change initially, as rental cars have previously picked up and dropped off guests at the airport.
```"They have been lurking in the dark corners so far and are now really coming into the spotlight."
Cabbies suspicious
Unlike taxis, rental cars are not allowed to pick up passengers at designated standing places but can only drive up for the ordering customer with a fixed order. This is now to be done at the designated parking lot, which, according to Uber, should lead to better usage experiences for the guests.
According to Kratz, the taxi association wants to closely monitor whether rental car drivers comply with legal requirements. In particular, they should not wait for passengers at the airport without a specific order but must return to their place of business. At the new Uber parking lot, only the first ten minutes are free, and license plate checks are meant to prevent artificial waiting rounds.
