Dispute over ride-hailing prices: Munich gives Uber and others more time
Munich’s mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) has granted ride-hailing platforms such as Uber and Bolt more time to reach agreements on pricing structures. Only if no regulations are in place by June 30, 2026, will the city council set minimum prices for rides booked through the platforms.
Demands on the platform operators
In a letter to the companies, Reiter calls for the introduction of minimum and maximum prices for rides within the city of Munich as well as to the airport. These are to be aligned with the applicable taxi fares. In addition, minimum remuneration for drivers should be set.
Resolution status in the City Council
At the end of July, the District Administration Committee approved by a majority a motion from the SPD as well as the CSU/Free Voters. The goal is to negotiate individual agreements with the platform operators on prices and fees. A vote originally planned on the immediate introduction of minimum prices was therefore postponed.
Debate over competition
The background is ongoing criticism of unequal competitive conditions between the regulated taxi sector and ride-hailing platforms. The city council caucuses of the Greens/Pink List and SPD/Volt had decried “ruinous competition.”
The initial draft resolution provided for introducing a minimum fare for rides via intermediary platforms. It proposed a base fare of €5.42 and a per-kilometer rate of €2.57. However, no vote was taken on this measure.
Protests by the taxi industry
Before the decision, taxi drivers had protested in front of Munich City Hall. The Munich Taxi Association and the Federal Association of Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles voiced sharp criticism of the lord mayor’s actions.
