Today, movement is becoming more and more expensive. Between the increase in the price of fuel and, in particular, customs duties, but not only. Indeed, taxi fares have also increased in recent years, while VTC fares will also increase tomorrow. Indeed, from February 1, 2023, traveling by car with a driver will cost even more than before. Different players in the sector like Uber, Heetch and Bolt have indeed agreed to revise their prices upwards. From now on, the driver will have to collect at least €7.65 per trip. So these will cost minimum 10.20 eurosregardless of destination.

New trick

It’s enough to prompt users to reconsider their plans in certain cases, especially for short trips, which will be mainly affected by this new measure. Thus, the goal is to better to pay the drivers, who must donate part of their turnover to the company they work for. But did you know there is a way to pay less for your trips? Indeed, you can use it from January 19come app which allows you to compare the prices of different VTC operators. As stated on the company’s website, this service allows you to “access all services without having to download or create a profile in another application.”

not everywhere yet

Thus, there is no need to have an account in each of the applications, which should make life easier for users. But this new offering still has its limitations. Indeed, it only works for the moment in the Paris region, even if Comin promises that it will soon concern other cities. Besides, everyone companies engaged in the organization of trips not yet listed. But that too should change in the near future.
