Since October 26, 2022, the mediation platform Uber has also been offering the mediation of rental cars and taxis in the city of Mannheim. The rental cars operate under the name Uber X. Those who wish to book a ride with them will know in advance what it will cost. With the Uber Taxi service, regular taxis are mediated, which run at the taxi rate. As in other cities, Uber stated at the launch that they only work with licensed rental car and taxi companies. The drivers of the partner companies all have a passenger transport license. As with other launch dates, Uber's Germany CEO stated how many potential customers had tried to order an Uber vehicle in the Rhine-Neckar region in the past twelve months. In this case, there were reportedly around 400,000 order attempts.

By the way, those who order through the Uber app receive the name of the company to which the ride is mediated, a profile and a picture of the driver along with a license plate and rating profile for both modes of transport before the ride begins. The rides are paid for cashlessly through the app at the end. Open-minded taxi and rental car entrepreneurs have already realized that the ability to rate the driver through the app encourages driving staff to perform better. In July 2022, Uber initially launched Uber Eats, a food delivery service, in Mannheim.
