Tagespreis

Tagespreis is a price component used in German-speaking markets that denotes a price charged per day. The term combines Tag (day) with Preis (price) and is used in a variety of sectors to indicate the daily rate for goods or services, often alongside other pricing components such as a fixed base price or a charge per unit of consumption.

In accommodation and rental services, the Tagespreis typically refers to the daily room rate or daily rental fee. This rate may vary by season, demand, length of stay, and includes or excludes taxes and fees depending on the contract.

In energy markets, the Tagespreis can denote the day-ahead price for electricity on a given calendar day. It is used in wholesale trading and in some consumer tariffs to reflect the price level for that day; hourly prices are often derived from the day's auction results. The Tagespreis can differ from a tariff’s per-kilowatt-hour rate.

Other applications include transport, storage, or service contracts where a daily rate is specified as the price for using the service or facility for one day. In tariff design, Tagespreis may be presented together with other price components such as a Grundpreis (base fee) or Arbeitspreis (price per unit of consumption).

Notes for consumers: when comparing offers, check what the Tagespreis covers, the inclusion of taxes and surcharges, contract duration, and potential changes in the daily rate over time.
