Three to four cents more per kilometer: Why part-car customers now have to dig deeper into their pockets and how the company assesses the fuel cost increase.

The car-sharing company Teilauto is responding to the current rise in diesel and petrol costs by increasing prices for its customers. "This is hitting us very hard and we are reaching the limits of our calculations," writes the Leipzig-based company in a message to its customers. Accordingly, the prices per kilometer for vehicle users will rise by three cents, and by four cents for buses and vans.

It is a price increase "on sight", it continues. Further developments are being monitored. The surcharge will apply to all tariffs from April 20. Prior to this, prices were regularly increased four years ago.
