The Administrative Court of Munich objects to the geographic scope of the municipal minimum-price regulation for rental cars. The Federal Association of Taxi and Car Rental points to Dortmund as a possible model for an adjustment.

The Stuttgart Taxi Association says local taxi companies are endangered by the rapidly growing number of rental cars and insufficient oversight in the Esslingen district. A protest action is intended to draw attention to structural problems and the necessary regulatory measures.

Insufficient social contributions, lack of insurance coverage, and violations of the Passenger Transport Act characterize many rental car services according to authorities. The city aims to ensure greater legal certainty and market transparency with a minimum fee.
