The Bad Kreuznach police on Sunday evening, 23 August 2026, checked two out-of-area rental cars in the vicinity of the Bad Kreuznach fair. Earlier, there had been reports that several rental cars, including vehicles from ride-hailing operators, were in the event area and possibly waiting for passengers there.

Around 11 p.m., police forces in the area of Wilhelmstraße/Kirschsteinanlage located two such vehicles. The drivers, aged 30 and 32, stated during the inspection that they had previously transported passengers from the Mainz area or from Frankfurt to Bad Kreuznach. At the inspection site, they had only stopped for a break.

Proof of trips missing

Proof of the transport trips reported by the drivers could not be provided during the inspection. The police subsequently recorded the required data. Whether there are actually violations of the regulations applicable to rental cars and the extent of any such violations will now be checked afterwards.

Thus, it has not yet been determined whether the two drivers acted illegally.
