Two languages, one fleet: the rules in German, the explanation in your language.

In short

  • Rückkehrpflicht (return-to-base rule): without a new order, a Mietwagen returns to base right after the ride; orders are recorded and kept for 1 year (§ 49(4) PBefG).
  • Working time: start, end and duration recorded by the 7th calendar day, kept for 2 years (§ 17 MiLoG).
  • Minimum wage (German legal figure): €13.90 gross per hour, €14.60 from 1 January 2027 (§ 1 MiLoV5) – 47 days to go.
  • P-Schein (passenger transport licence): valid for at most 5 years (§ 48 FeV).
  • Solution: all of this alongside your Uber and Bolt data on one screen, from $5.99 per driver/month.

What is fleet management for Uber and Bolt fleets?

Fleet management means planning and controlling cars, drivers, rides and costs in one place. If your cars drive on Uber and Bolt in Germany, it also means keeping on top of German passenger transport law.

Most Uber X and Bolt rides in Germany are done as Mietwagen service: a car rented as a whole with a driver, where the passenger decides purpose and destination, and which – unlike a taxi – may not wait at the kerb for customers (§ 49(4) PBefG). Running it needs an operating licence, the Konzession, granted for at most five years (§ 16(4) PBefG).

Day to day, many fleets run on scattered tools: Uber revenue in one spreadsheet, Bolt revenue in another, shifts in a WhatsApp group, TÜV and insurance dates in a calendar. Fleet management software brings it together – and this page explains it in German, Turkish and English.

Which rules apply to an Uber fleet in Germany?

Five rules affect every Uber and Bolt fleet: the Rückkehrpflicht, order records, working-time records with the minimum wage, the drivers' P-Schein and the company's Konzession. Each links to the official German source.

Court ruling

Does the Rückkehrpflicht apply to Uber X?

Yes. On 3 June 2026 Germany's Federal Court of Justice (BGH, I ZR 123/25) upheld the return-to-base rule for Mietwagen booked through Uber X. In the Cologne case, a subcontractor's car had waited at Breslauer Platz after dropping off a passenger. The court held the operator liable for its subcontractor's breach too.

Minimum wage

Why do timesheets matter so much?

Because passenger transport is one of the sectors where working time must be recorded. Start, end and duration of each shift have to be written down by the seventh calendar day and kept for two years. On 1 January 2027 the minimum wage rises to €14.60.

Drivers

What is a P-Schein?

The P-Schein is the German passenger transport licence (Fahrerlaubnis zur Fahrgastbeförderung). Every driver carrying passengers via Uber or Bolt needs one. It is valid for at most five years; with an expired P-Schein nobody may drive passengers, and the keeper must not allow it.

Company

What does the authority require for a Konzession?

The Konzession is the licence to run Mietwagen or taxi service. The authority checks the safety and financial capacity of the business, the operator's reliability and professional competence, and a base in Germany. Competence is usually proven with the Fachkundeprüfung exam at the local chamber of commerce (IHK).

Source: § 13 PBefG

How much capital does a Mietwagen company need?

The legal floor is equity: taxi and Mietwagen companies must show €2,250 of equity and reserves for the first vehicle and €1,250 for each additional one. That is a quarter of the amounts in EU Regulation 1071/2009 (§ 2 PBZugV; amounts: IHK Braunschweig).

Proof is an equity certificate (Eigenkapitalbescheinigung) from a tax adviser, auditor or bank, plus clearance certificates from the tax office, municipality, social insurance funds and the employers' liability insurer, each no more than three months old when you apply.

Cars, insurance, fees and advice are not included and vary by region; ask your licensing authority (Genehmigungsbehörde) and IHK.

Example: fleet of 5 vehicles

Minimum equity under § 2 PBZugV (German legal figures)
1st vehicle€2,250
2nd–5th vehicle (4 × €1,250)€5,000
Total equity and reserves€7,250

With 10 vehicles: €2,250 + 9 × €1,250 = €13,500.

Which problems does the fleet management software solve?

The software connects to your Uber Fleet and Bolt Fleet accounts and handles each problem with the matching module. No more spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups.

Ride requests (Dispatch)

Ride requests are forwarded to your drivers, and orders from direct customers run through the same screen. Every incoming order stays on record.

Return-to-base checks (Compliance)

Cars that don't return to base after a ride become visible. You see violations before a BOKraft inspection or a competitor's lawsuit does.

Timesheets and payroll (HR)

Working hours are pre-filled from Uber and Bolt data and prepared for payroll. Shifts below minimum wage are flagged.

Cars and deadlines (Fleet)

Profit per car, plus early warnings for TÜV/HU inspection, insurance, Konzession and P-Schein.

Net earnings (Finance)

What each car and each driver really earns after platform commissions.

Your own customers (CRM)

Build a base of direct customers. They pay better and make you less dependent on Uber and Bolt.

How does setup work?

Setup takes about 48 hours in three steps. Then the dashboard shows revenue per driver and per car, cost per kilometre and upcoming deadlines.

  1. Upload cars and drivers

    Once, with plates and TÜV, insurance, Konzession and P-Schein dates.

  2. Connect Uber Fleet and Bolt Fleet

    Rides, online hours and revenue then arrive automatically.

  3. Run it from one screen

    Alerts, timesheets and net earnings are up to date every day.

5 h → 1 h

Timesheet work dropped from about 5 hours a week to under 1 hour a month.
