Taxi tariff
A taxi tariff is the basis for calculating the transport fee for a taxi ride and any ancillary services (including waiting time, large-capacity taxi, luggage, animals, cancellation).
In many countries, taximeters are used to calculate the fare.
Situation in Germany
The taxi tariffs in Germany are set by the responsible authorities for cities, districts and islands; In Hesse, tariff sovereignty also applies to municipalities. This means that the taxi company is not allowed to freely determine the fare according to the Passenger Transport Act . The taxi tariff has increased due to the minimum wage law . The place of boarding of the first passenger (start of the journey) is decisive for the transport fee. In Germany there are currently 102 tariffs for cities, 274 for rural districts, 3 for islands and 19 districts with special status. The tariffs can be negotiated as a flat rate for all trips outside the mandatory driving area.
