DSGVO-Verstöße bei fehlender Einwilligung in Fahrerüberprüfungen
€10,000–€50,000 per audit cycle (estimated); €5,000 minimum statutory penalty per undocumented check under DSGVO Article 83(4)Taxi and limousine services in Germany must comply with GDPR Article 6 (lawful basis) and Article 13 (transparency). Background checks without documented, explicit consent—or failure to notify drivers separately from job applications—violate DSGVO. Betriebsprüfungen (tax audits) now include DSGVO compliance checks. Penalties range from €5,000 to €20,000,000 depending on violation scale; small operators typically face €10,000–€50,000 fines.
Kundenabbrüche durch manuelle Buchungs- und Bestätigungsverzögerungen
5–15% booking abandonment rate; at €20–€25 average ride fare, a 50-vehicle fleet (5,000 rides/month) loses 250–750 rides = €5,000–€18,750/month = €60,000–€225,000 annuallyRide Booking and Dispatch Allocation latency directly triggers customer churn. In Germany, where smartphone penetration is 75%+ and app-based taxi services (Uber, regional competitors) are established, manual dispatch confirmation delays (>1–2 minutes) cause immediate customer abandonment. Especially damaging during peak hours (airport runs, events) when customers have time-sensitive needs. Each lost booking = lost fare + reduced driver utilization + lower fleet revenue.
Diebstahl von gefundenen Gegenständen
€500-2,000 per stolen item (avg. phone/wallet value); 2-5% inventory shrinkageFrequent loss of high-value items (phones, wallets, keys) in taxis leads to potential theft by drivers or staff due to fragmented lost property systems across cities like Berlin and Munich.
Unvollständige oder fehlerhafte Führungszeugnis-Daten – Fehlentscheidungen bei Personalauswahl
€50,000–€200,000 per liability claim (civil damages); 5–10% annual probability per 50-driver fleet; reputational cost: 2–5% customer churn (~€5,000–€20,000/year)German law permits Führungszeugnis checks for taxi drivers (relevant to passenger safety). However, manual receipt and interpretation of these documents creates decision-making risk: (1) operators may miss offense categories relevant to hiring (e.g., violence, theft, sexual offenses), (2) decoding of German legal offense codes (StGB § references) requires expertise, (3) no comparative data on whether similar operators rejected similar candidates. If a hired driver later commits offense, operator faces: (a) civil liability (~€50,000–€200,000 per incident), (b) insurance subrogation, (c) reputational damage. Estimated: 5–10% of operators face at least one hiring liability claim per 5-year period.
