If you plan to use the services VTC platforms (Chauffeured Vehicles) for your personal or business trips this year, or if you’re a VTC driver yourself, 2024 will bring something new.

Indeed, although the terms of operation of the VTC during the Paris 2024 Olympics are still unclear, the VTC platforms (Allocab, Bolt, Caocao, FreeNow, Heetch, LeCab, Marcel, Uber, etc.) and the VTC drivers’ unions (FFTPR and API) signed agreements on December 19 , which make changes to driver’s wages.

VTC: prices revised upwards

These agreements actually set new conditions for wages of VTK driverswith a minimum hourly income guarantee of €30, a kilometer income guarantee of €1/km, and an increase in the minimum net income per trip.

So, from February 1, 2024, a VTC ride will now depend on a minimum income of €9 for the driver, up from €7.65 previously. In practice, for travelers, this means a the minimum price is about 10.60 euros per trip, variable depending on the commission applied by each VTC platform (between 18% and 25%).

The minimum hourly charge for a trip will be increased to 30 euros net per hourfrom May 1, 2024. It will vary depending on the type of vehicle and can be revised after two years: in practice, it is about increasing the reward for the “approach time” of the driver, which should allow to increase the level of acceptance of races, to the benefit of the customer.

Other price increases should be expected

These price increases will not stop there as a review disclaimer designed for the end of 2024 : The VTC drivers’ unions require a minimum income of 10 euros net, which will obviously be reflected in the user’s final bill.

These the fare increases will allow VTC drivers to better bear the ongoing increase in their costs, while having the opportunity to invest in vehicles that pollute less in the future.
