BVTM: Taxi vouchers digital, here's how it works

The Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars (BVTM) is, on behalf of the entire industry, a partner of Deutsche Bahn AG. Among other things, in employee mobility and disruption management, Deutsche Bahn has been relying on the flexible solutions of the taxi industry since 2006.

The Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars is the contracting partner and central contact for Deutsche Bahn AG for these services and actively promotes the digitization of taxi vouchers. The digital vouchers can be recognized by the QR code in the upper right corner, which can be scanned with the driver's app. Analog vouchers, on the other hand, cannot be read digitally.

There are several things for taxi drivers to consider

  • For electronic authorization, scan the printed QR code before starting the journey or manually enter the retrieval code into your terminal.
  • By accepting the voucher, you confirm that you will conduct the journey at the stated price.
  • The journey must be carried out immediately after receiving the voucher.
  • Please start driving only when the specified number of guests is complete.
  • The reimbursement according to the framework agreement is processed through your taxi center or your regional billing partner, and the process largely corresponds to the process for account journeys. Here you will find your billing partner.
  • Billing without electronic authorization before the start of the journey is only permissible through a taxi billing center within 60 days of the creation date with an increased fee (10% of the gross fare, a minimum of 15€).
  • Direct billing with Deutsche Bahn is excluded. Your contact for all questions regarding your billing is your taxi center or your regional billing partner.

(The printout of the digital taxi voucher serves only as information and for retrieving the QR code.)

Accepting Digital Taxi Vouchers Digitally – What Business Owners Need to Consider

The analog taxi vouchers are gradually being replaced by a digital voucher. This will further optimize processes and simplify billing. To fully benefit from the advantages of the new digital process, taxi operators should be able to process vouchers digitally.

Billing digital taxi vouchers without electronic authorization before the start of the journey is only permitted through a taxi billing center within 60 days of the creation date with an increased fee (10 percent of the gross fare, at least €15). You can avoid this fee by using an appropriate driver app.

Digital Voucher Accepted: The Billing Partners

If you want to accept or have already accepted digital taxi vouchers, you need a billing partner. Nationwide, more than 50 taxi centers are billing partners for vouchers with QR codes. For all others, the BVTM has established a comprehensive network of regional partners to handle billing. There is a responsible regional partner for each federal state and each administrative district.
