Would you like to transport people commercially in hire cars?
Then you need a hire car licence.
You may only hire out the vehicle as a whole. The hirer (passenger) determines the purpose, destination and sequence of the journeys.
You can obtain the licence for a maximum of five years. After that, you can apply for an extension.
Please note: This does not refer to the hire of vehicles to self-drivers.
Hire cars differ from taxis as follows:

- The fare can be freely agreed. However, you must calculate it with a Determine it with a distance counter.
- The colour of the vehicles is not specified.
- The number of licences is not limited.
If you want to transport people by taxi, you need a taxi licence.
