question was for a place with reserved parking, my question was about the
"these vehicles" part: _which_ vehicles, because as I tried to explain in
my mail, not all vehicle rental with drivers are the same class (what we
want vs. "what exists": classes do not exist without someone creating it,
it is us who decide what kind of class according to what kind of criteria
we create - for mapping in osm). Example: it could be sufficient to have
just one tag (or "class") for all kinds of vehicles (likely not for most of
the OSM mappers though).

Already looking at Uber alone, it is clear they have quite different
divisions which offer different services which will likely fall into
different classes, e.g. Uberpop, UberBlack, Uber-Lux, Uber-SUV, Uber-X,
Uber-XL, UberSelect and Uber-Van. AFAIK Uber-X and UberBlack drivers are
required to hold a transportation license, i.e. they are similar to
traditional rental vehicles with drivers, while other concepts were more
aiming at circumventing regulation (which seems was ultimately not
succesful, in the EU there was a decision to reagrd them as transport
company and not as IT service company, as they had argued, and many
countries have banned their business either as a whole, or significant
parts of it).

Cheers,
Martin
