Munich ride-hailing minimum fare faces legal challenges

Legal action has been initiated against Munich's new minimum price regulations for private ride-hailing services such as Uber. A spokesperson for the Administrative Court confirmed that three urgent proceedings are pending against the general decree, which took effect on July 4.

Under the municipal rules, ride-hailing providers operating in the Bavarian capital must now base their fares on official local taxi rates. These established tariffs currently start with a mandatory base fee of €5.90 per journey. The court is expected to review the emergency petitions regarding the city's pricing directive.
