Black Car Insurance
Specialized Black Car insurance for TLC-affiliated drivers and owners on Uber, Lyft, Via and other Black Car bases.
What Is a Black Car?
A Black Car is a type of For-Hire Vehicle (FHV) that operates through an affiliation with a Black Car Base. These vehicles are dispatched via pre-arranged bookings, with more than 90% of passenger payments made through non-cash methods. Before affiliation, Black Car owners must pass an inspection at a Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) facility. Popular rideshare platforms like Uber, Lyft, and Via are licensed as Black Car Bases, allowing drivers to connect with them to provide on-demand rides.
