I can confirm that there are such differences, for example in Germany
(Personenmietwagen vs. Taxi), in Italy (NCC vs. taxi),
Legislation will probably vary across jurisdictions, e.g. in Germany, the
Personenmietwagen is not part of the public transport, taxi is, in Italy,
NCC is considered "servizio pubblico non di linea" (public service which is
not line traffic).

We likely need both tags, access tags at least for some special situations
and a tag for a business that offers such services. I remember we have been
discussing this in the past on several occasions, but I do not recall what
was agreed. Generally, while this is a common feature/service in Italy,
there aren't probably tagged so many of them, because the cars may not park
on public property (they either drive, wait in/at the car for the client to
return, or return to their garage, at least that's the legal requirement),
and we are far from having mapped a significant part of businesses which
aren't shops. So from a customer point of view, you rather need a telephone
number than a location of their garage, unlike taxi ranks, which are a
spatially interesting feature (you can actually go there and get a cab).
