From next month, short journeys in VTC will be a little more expensive on certain platforms. We explain why.
What was just a rumor became a reality this week. Union representatives of the main VTC players met this Wednesday, January 18 to sign a historic agreement aimed at guaranteeing a minimum net income to VTC drivers. Obviously, this will not be without impact on the price of journeys which will increase from Wednesday 1 February.
€10.20 minimum at Uber
It was rumored that the amount received by the drivers per journey on which they would have agreed was €7.65. It’s just, he didn’t move. One way to “stay competitive with taxis,” said Uber at the end of last year. To see in the facts. In any case, this does not concern races of less than 2 km, as initially thought, but those of less than 3 km. There has been a slight development in this regard.
By adding the commission of VTC platforms, this naturally means that users will have to spend more than 7.65 €. At Uber, for example, “the minimum price for a trip on the Uber app will drop to €10.20 from next month. At Heetch, no particular change, the CEO Teddy Pellerin had specified at the end of last year that their minimum price was “already higher than 8.50 € net”.
