Taking a taxi: driving slowly = more money?
Hello everyone,
We just took a taxi and I'm not sure about the cost. We went to the taxi stand and as soon as we got in, the price was €5.50. Is that the normal flat rate? I only know that when you call a taxi. The driver was also driving particularly slowly. For example, in a 50 km/h zone, he usually only drives at 30 km/h, and I had the impression that he was driving particularly slowly at traffic lights so they turned red. When I asked him to speed up, he said that was insulting because he didn't want to rip us off; that was normal.
Am I wrong?

Taxi fee Basic fee 5,50 Euro
Pro Km 3,00 Euro
Waiting time 30 euros per hour, even if it’s in traffic.
It is counted after kilometers whether it drives slowly or quickly doesn’t matter.
The 5,50 is the basic amount.
That wasn’t the case. As with the traffic lights, the ticker continued. According to his statement, the traffic light is still working, even if you don’t drive.
That can and must not be.
Prices are fixed for all taxis from the municipality. Just like the bill after kilometers.
complain to the company.
The minimum wage is also paid in the waiting period. An hour in traffic costs 30 euros.
Of course, I forgot the waiting period, but…
It will be deducted after an hour and varies between 35 or just 8.50 euros depending on the municipality.
The so-called waiting time, however, means standing time, not driving slowly.
So it doesn’t matter if he drives 50 or 30.
But thanks for the hint.
The billing takes place after Km and time 12 seconds at the traffic light cost 10 cents.
The 5.50€ are the basic price/primary fee which can vary depending on where you are. It is cheaper but also more expensive.
As far as driving is concerned, if you are really convinced that the driver has done this extra, you can only contact the entrepreneur.
However, the problem will be that the driver will refer to the traffic situation. And if you can’t object to it, it’ll be hard. You can try.
I’ve been on my way as a taxi driver for a long time. There is a basic fee, then it goes after kilometers and of course the clock goes on at the traffic light or at the waiting time!
Easy to call and complain and ask back
The costs are calculated per km. The speed is insignificant.
