Not everyone knows right away what the meaning behind it is.

It is often mandatory.

Whether on the rear window or the trunk lid.

Whether children on board, amusement park, favorite band or the football team of choice.

For some drivers, stickers are simply part of it.

But not everything is always allowed.

However, some stickers are mandatory, such as the environmental sticker or a blue sticker – with a combination of letters and numbers – that can be seen on more and more cars.

However, this blue sticker on the rear window tends to confuse many drivers, as the Frankfurter Neue Presse (FNP) reports.

On Twitter, "Heinz Sch@nk" asked about its importance, after which he had come across him several times.

His guess: The sticker identifies Uber cars, rental vehicles, cars belonging to privileged people or airport employees.

"I've always asked myself that question," emphasizes a Facebook user under an FNP post.

She's right about that.

The blue sticker is the serial number for rental cars – in addition to Uber, this also includes FreeNow and Bolt, for example.

Since the amendment of the Passenger Transport Act (PBefG) in 2021, this has been mandatory if a car is used by a rental company.

Increasingly common: Blue sticker to help distinguish rental cars and taxis

The blue sticker serves to identify the vehicles more easily and assign them to a type of traffic.

The labeling is intended to help distinguish at airports, for example, whether it is a rental car or a taxi.

Such a marking on the rear window has long been mandatory for these vehicles.

The serial number for rental cars usually begins with a letter that indicates the city, municipality or district from which the vehicle comes.

In Frankfurt, for example, that would be an F. If a rental car comes from the Erding district, the serial number begins with ED, as

writes. In some cases, there are only numbers on the sticker.

  • "Always see that with Uber cars."

  • "Germany prescribes itself dead."
