Among the Moscow's taxi operators, there are over 1,000 legal entities and over 6,400 self-employed entrepreneurs. Similar rise was recorded in many other major Russian cities. Taxi business in Russia is moving towards the organized sector with increasing participation of drivers opting for registered taxis and permits. New regulations coming into force and competition with existing players further make the working of illegal taxis more difficult. Post 2014, using a taxi in Moscow has become 30% cheaper and the estimated average waiting time is reduced to seven minutes in 2017.

Changing business dynamics made taxi and other car rental services competitive to attract customers to their service. The number of people using taxi services increased significantly especially in large cities. Yandex taxi, Gett, Vezyot, Maxim and Hertz emerged as some key car rental companies operating in Russia.
