Emergency Aid / Support Services of the Taxi Foundation Germany

Immediate Assistance from the Taxi Foundation Germany provides nationwide, unbureaucratic financial grants to victims of violent crimes in the taxi and rental car industry who have fallen into hardship through no fault of their own, as well as to their relatives. Private individuals, especially taxi drivers and rental car drivers who have been injured during assaults, may submit applications at any time. The funding aims to alleviate acute financial hardships resulting from physical or psychological consequences of violent acts and to offer prompt support to those affected. By continuously providing funds, the foundation responds flexibly to urgent emergency situations and effectively supplements existing social welfare benefits.

For the application, proof of the incident (e.g., police report or press article), detailed medical reports including prognosis regarding incapacity to work, as well as bank details and contact information of the affected person are required. Additionally, contact details of the employer or a taxi dispatch center and information about the social background (maintenance obligations, family situation) are requested. In the selection process, the severity of the injuries and the timely reporting of the emergency determine the amount of support. Since there are no fixed deadlines, it is advisable to submit all documents as quickly as possible to receive prompt relief in acute emergencies. Experts from the foundation review each application according to uniform criteria and provide financial immediate assistance without lengthy bureaucracy when needed.
