TMV calls for stricter controls on platform-mediated rental cars.
The Taxi and Rental Car Association Germany (TMV) ties the anticipated taking of office by Steffen Bilger as Federal Minister of Transport to several demands on transport policy. According to the association, the focus is on the evaluation of the Passenger Transport Act, the reimbursement of medical rides, and the regulation of platform-mediated rental cars. The TMV seeks to engage in a dialogue with the new minister.
Evaluation of the Passenger Transport Act Demanded
The association places emphasis on the Passenger Transport Act amended in 2021. The reform at the time was intended, according to the TMV, to enable a balance between traditional and new mobility offerings. Five years later, the association regards a comprehensive and transparent evaluation as necessary.
The TMV calls for a review of existing regulatory gaps and for municipalities to be given more effective options to steer the market. From the association's perspective, this concerns in particular the framework conditions for tariff-bound taxi traffic. The TMV has already forwarded its own proposals for evaluation to policymakers. The corresponding paper should also be presented to Steffen Bilger.
Remuneration for medical transports in focus
The association sees additional need for action in medical transports and medically necessary conveyances. These services are economically relevant for numerous small and medium-sized taxi and rental car companies. According to the TMV, the effects of the GKV Contribution Stabilization Act have increased the financial burden on the businesses.
The association therefore calls for coordination between the Federal Ministry of Transport and the Federal Ministry of Health. The aim, from the TMV's perspective, should be legally secured remuneration structures as well as an inflation adjustment in contracts with statutory health insurers.
TMV calls for stricter controls
Another issue is the competition with platform-mediated rental cars. The TMV points to violations of the statutory return obligation, the prohibition on providing rental cars on public roads, and the circumvention of social standards.
The association calls for stricter controls and higher fines. In addition, according to TMV's proposal, intermediary platforms should be held more accountable for ensuring that the fleets they mediate comply with statutory requirements.
As a current reference, the association cites publications on developments in the Teltow-Fläming district. The TMV intends to raise these topics in discussions with the new Federal Minister of Transport and thereby continue the personal contact that already existed last year.
