(PRESS RELEASE) COPENHAGEN, 29-May-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Dantaxi, Denmark’s leading taxi company, has been acquired by Uber Technologies, Inc. in a deal facilitated by private equity firm Triton. This acquisition marks a significant expansion of Uber’s presence in Denmark, establishing the company as the most widely available on-demand mobility service in the country. With the integration of Dantaxi’s 3,500 drivers, Uber will now serve 75 out of Denmark’s 98 municipalities, offering a seamless blend of Uber’s cutting-edge technology with Dantaxi’s trusted, local service.

Since its acquisition by Triton in 2018, Dantaxi has grown to become a dominant force in Denmark’s mobility market, boasting around 1,900 vehicles and a strong focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. The acquisition follows Uber’s successful launch in Copenhagen earlier this year, further reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to improving urban mobility across Denmark.

Uber riders in Denmark will benefit from all of Uber’s signature features, including upfront fares, driver details, and in-app emergency assistance, whether traveling in Denmark’s capital or smaller towns. While Dantaxi continues its established local taxi services, its extensive driver network will now be fully integrated into Uber’s platform, giving drivers access to Uber’s state-of-the-art dispatch technology and global reach.

Maurits Schönfeld, General Manager for Northern Europe at Uber, highlighted the strategic importance of the acquisition, emphasizing the potential to offer more sustainable, accessible, and convenient mobility solutions across Denmark. Dantaxi CEO Carsten Aastrup expressed excitement about the partnership, noting the companies’ shared vision for high-quality transport services and sustainability.

In addition to enhancing Uber’s service offering, the merger strengthens both companies’ shared commitment to greener transport solutions, with Dantaxi’s electric fleet aligning with Uber’s goal to become a zero-emission platform in Europe by 2030. The acquisition is also fully compliant with Denmark’s taxi regulations, ensuring the continued availability of essential taxi services while expanding access and convenience for users.
