Which mobile taxi apps you can use in Germany?

If you find yourself in Germany on holiday and don’t feel like trying to tackle the public transportation system, you will most likely need to take a taxi. If you don’t speak German or know the city, this can be easier said than done.

Take the stress out of getting around by using one of these apps on your next trip to Germany.

My Taxi

With powerful taxi unions that protect Germany’s taxi drivers against the competition of chauffeur services like Uber, taxis remain a major presence in Rome’s urban landscape. The taxi services have, however, modernized their services by rolling out mobile applications, making taxi bookings easier than ever. You no longer have to look for a taxi stand or make a call to reserve a ride: with the My Taxi app, you can request a ride through your phone, receive a fare estimate, and manage your booking through the interface. You can pay the taxi through the app or in person at the conclusion of your trip. 

Carmel

Although not as famous as the previous two, this app is worth mentioning as you can not only call a taxi, but also hire a car or limo to take you where you need to go. Similar to the first two, it lets you receive a fair quote and the information about your driver, even their licensing. This app lets you book a ride for now or later and also has an added safety security measure; a ping when you get in the car lets you know that you are stepping into the right vehicle. Carmel also offers many rewards and perks for using their services, which is always a huge plus!

Lyft & Uber

While these apps can and are still used in Germany, you should know that they are currently forbidden due to protests by professional taxi drivers. As a foreigner in Germany, as long as you do not call an Uber or Lyft while around a normal taxi stand it most likely will not be a problem, but you should keep this information in mind.

That being said, these apps work the same as they do everywhere else in the world. There are three types of taxis you can call with Uber Germany: Yellow taxi, UberXL and UberFamily.
