Late train? Weird vibes on the night bus? Munich’s Frauen Nacht Taxi vouchers are here so you can get home safely between 22:00 and 06:00 — with €10 off your taxi fare.
The scheme’s been tweaked in 2025 (new rules, limited availability), so here’s the no-nonsense version of what’s changed and how to use it.
TL;DR (because it’s late and you’re tired)
- What it is: €10 voucher for women* to discount a taxi ride 22:00–06:00. One voucher per ride; the ride should end at a residential address.
- 2025 change: Vouchers are means-tested (student/retiree/München-Pass etc.). One voucher per person per visit at the issuing office; monthly quotas apply.
- Status: Issuance paused in March due to budget run-out; City Council decided in late July to continue with new rules. Roll-out and re-print organized from late summer; check status before you go.

What is The Frauen Nacht Taxi Voucher?
A city subsidy that knocks €10 off a nighttime taxi ride to help you get home safely. Valid nightly from 22:00 to 06:00. One voucher can be redeemed per ride (even if multiple eligible women share the taxi). The destination should be a residential address.

Who Can Get a Voucher in 2025?
Due to the 2025 budget crunch, Munich now prioritizes women with lower incomes or specific status. You’ll typically need to show one of these when picking up a voucher:
- Student or pupil ID
- Retiree/Pension ID
- Severely disabled ID
- München-Pass
- IHK Azubi-Card
These social-criteria rules were approved by the City Council’s Kreisverwaltungsausschuss on July 29, 2025.
When and where to pick them up
- Primary pick-up: Bürgerbüros (citizens’ offices). Each office receives a limited monthly quota; one voucher per person per visit.
- Libraries (TBD): In 2024, Munich Public Libraries also distributed vouchers, including Open Library branches at Gasteig HP8 and Motorama — check the current status page before you go, as distribution points can change with the new rules.
Check availability before heading out: the city’s live info page posts updates and issuance pauses.
Why Availability Has Been Patchy in 2025
The annual budget was used up early (March 2025), prompting a temporary stop in issuing vouchers. In late July, the city agreed to continue the scheme with social criteria and tighter distribution. From late summer, the administration prepared new voucher print runs and comms.
How To Redeem Your Voucher (Step-By-Step)
- Confirm the window: It must be 22:00–06:00.
- Start correctly: Board in Munich city limits (destination may be outside the city).
- End at a home address: The scheme is for safe trips home, not club-hopping.
- Hand over one voucher per ride: Even with multiple eligible women in one taxi, only one voucher is accepted.
- Driver refuses? Keep the receipt and voucher; the city has a reimbursement review route. Ask the Bürgerbüro for current procedures.
Oktoberfest (Wiesn) Note
Around Wiesn season, the city often aligns communications and may allocate special contingents or action-day distributions (e.g., “Sichere Wiesn”). Availability still depends on the month’s quota — check the city page before relying on vouchers for your Oktoberfest nights.
