Getting around Paris in 2024 is going to get more expensive, with the Navigo pass increasing by a few euros and VTC fares rising to a minimum of 10.60 euros. At a time when these same drivers are demonstrating against the ban on using the Olympic lane during the Games, they have obtained guarantees to raise their pay as of next year and make their profession less precarious.
These include"a minimum hourly income guarantee of 30 euros, a kilometre-based income guarantee of one euro per kilometer, and an increase in the minimum net income per journey to 9 euros", which will also have an impact on users. According to our colleagues in Le Parisien, the minimum charge for a trip will be 10.60 euros, including platform commissions, regardless of how short the trip.
This increase allows VTC drivers to"combine thefinancial security of salaried employment with the flexibility and freedom of independence", and will take effect from February 1, 2024. Drivers will have to wait until May 1, 2024 for the minimum hourly guarantee, which will vary according to the vehicle and its offer.
