It was never even allowed in the first place. Uber is just regular cabs in Germany.

That being said I've never heard anyone had any problems with German cabs e.g. scams, misleading etc..

It’s not exactly banned – Uber could return at any time when they ensure that their drivers have insurance that is valid, and a driving license that allows for driving passengers around. In fact, the driving license part was even considered something where the officials would ignore the regulations, if Uber would just comply with the insurance part.

But Uber didn’t want that.
