Minimum rental car prices in Munich - the taxi industry should remain competitive
The minimum transport fee will also apply to rental cars in the future. This is what the district administration committee is supposed to decide in its meeting on Tuesday, April 29. The SPD/Volt faction and the Green – Rosa Liste welcome this step and see it as a urgently needed strengthening of the taxi industry.
The introduction of a minimum transport fee for platform-based rental cars is a response to current developments in ride services and taxis, according to the faction spokespersons. Rental cars from the district are currently driving around unnecessarily in the city looking for customers, leading to congested streets, traffic jams, and increased emissions. Moreover, these vehicles are blocking valuable parking spaces in the already densely populated city.
“With a minimum transport fee, we create fairer competitive conditions and simultaneously contribute to a more sustainable and emission-free urban traffic,” explains Micky Wenngatz, city councilor of the SPD/Volt faction and deputy chairperson of the taxi commission.
Social standards are also undermined by companies like Uber and others, the two factions explained in agreement. The taxi industry, on the other hand, ensures social insurance, minimum wage, and rest periods, and should, therefore, also remain competitive.

From the perspective of the SPD/Volt faction and The Greens – Pink List, the introduction of a minimum fare is an important step to ensure a sustainable and stable mobility offer in our city and to reduce traffic and environmental problems.

In recent years, a destructive competition has developed between car rental providers and the taxi industry. We want to firmly oppose this. There needs to be fair competition. We must prevent dumping wages. That's why we want minimum prices for ride services," emphasizes Sibylle Stöhr, deputy faction leader of The Greens – Pink List and chairwoman of the Taxi Commission.
