Women's night cab

Women don't have to travel alone in the evening and at night. Many municipalities in the Hanover region subsidize the so-called "women's night taxi." This allows female Üstra/GVH customers in Garbsen, Hanover, Lehrte, Ronnenberg, Sehnde, and Gehrden to ride at a reduced fare.

Free service, subsidy from €5 to €7

The service is free of charge. You only need to pay the applicable taxi fare. All female passengers, including those accompanied by children up to age 14 (up to age 16 in Gehrden), receive a subsidy of €5 per trip for rides within the city limits of Hanover, and between €6 and €7 for trips in the surrounding area.
