Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia passes a motion on fair competitive conditions in the taxi and rental car trade.
The North Rhine-Westphalia State Parliament adopted on 29 January 2026 a motion to strengthen fair competitive conditions in the taxi and rental-car trades. According to information from the parliament, the CDU, Alliance 90/The Greens and the SPD voted in favor of the initiative, while the FDP and AfD abstained.
With the resolution, the state parliament underscores the importance of the taxi and rental-car trades for the provision of essential services, particularly in rural regions. At the same time, the need to consistently curb distortions of competition in on-demand transport is emphasized.
Strengthening of municipalities planned
According to the resolution, municipalities should be specifically strengthened in the exercise of their responsibilities. This also includes support in developing practical solutions for market surveillance, explicitly incorporating digital instruments.
Involvement of industry in the preparation
Already on 26 November 2025, representatives of the industry had the proposal pre-discussed together with transport policymakers of the governing factions. Among those involved were, among others, the executive boards of the North Rhine Specialist Association for Passenger Transport and of the Association of Private Commercial Road Passenger Transport in North Rhine-Westphalia. In this exchange, practical experiences from day-to-day operations were contributed and incorporated into the parliamentary deliberations.
From the perspective of the involved associations, the decision confirms the North Rhine-Westphalia approach with clear rules, an effective municipal governance, and the use of modern technologies. The aim is a market environment in which compliance with legal requirements does not lead to competitive disadvantages. North Rhine-Westphalia thereby once again positions itself as a nationwide driving force for a capable and regulated taxi and hire-car industry.
