Rental car boom in Teltow-Fläming: district admits shortcomings in controls.
In the Teltow-Fläming district, the number of approved rental cars increased within two years from 240 at the end of 2023 to 1,357 at the end of 2025. At the same time, the number of companies rose from 32 to 76. According to the county administration and in response to a request by SPD district council member Ines Seiler and her faction colleague Erik Stohn, the responsible authority was only inadequately prepared for this development in terms of staffing.
Staff shortage hindered supervision
As the county administration's response shows, the entire volume of approvals in 2023 and 2024 was handled by a single part-time employee working 25 hours per week. For 2026, two full-time positions for approvals, supervision and administration have been created. Up to now, however, only one of these positions has been filled.
The district administration also acknowledges deficits in the inspections. According to District Administrator Kornelia Wehlan, examinations of operating procedures and documents were conducted only as random checks and depended on available staffing capacity. There were four on-site inspections throughout 2024. Since 2025, an average of one inspection per month has been carried out.
SPD criticizes lack of oversight
Ines Seiler sees this as evidence of significant deficiencies in the oversight of the rental car industry. In her assessment, numerous providers would violate the statutory return-to-base obligation and would predominantly deploy their vehicles in Berlin, rather than returning to the district’s operating base after each assignment. As a result, the vehicles would not be available for mobility in Teltow-Fläming.
District admits misjudgment
According to the district administrator, the extent of the development only became clear in the second half of 2025, when the number of applications rose disproportionately. Seiler regards this assessment as not comprehensible and points out that the Brandenburg Association of Districts had already drawn attention to the development in June 2025.
Support from the state requested
The district administration now sees additional need for action at the state level. According to the district administrator, legal and organizational prerequisites must be created to effectively support the districts in permitting and supervising the rental car industry.
Seiler points to a resolution already adopted by SPD and CDU in the Brandenburg state parliament. This envisages, among other things, nationwide uniform guidelines for approvals and inspections as well as joint targeted checks with the police and customs. She regards the demands of the district administration as a belated admission that the existing capacities were not sufficient. (Source: SPD Parliamentary Group Brandenburg)
