City Introduces Minimum Fare for Car Rentals, Taxi Fares to Rise in 2026
Starting 2026, car rental services in an unnamed city will face a minimum fare, levelling the playing field with taxis. Local taxi companies, already grappling with low-cost rental car providers, will likely feel the impact.
The city council has approved measures to raise taxi fares. The base fare will stay at 4.40 EUR, but per-kilometer rates will climb by 0.10 EUR. This means rides will cost 2.90 EUR for the first 2 km, 2.80 EUR for the next 2 km, and 2.60 EUR for every kilometre after that.
Come 2026, car rental services will have a minimum fare. While specifics are scarce, this move aims to foster fair competition with taxis. Local taxi companies, currently facing increased competition from low-cost rental car providers, are expected to be significantly affected.
