Green Taxi Insurance
Street Hail Livery (SHL) coverage that meets TLC minimum liability requirements for Green Taxis in the outer boroughs.
What Is a Street Hail Livery (SHL) or Green Taxi?
A Street Hail Livery (SHL), commonly known as a Green Taxi or Outer Borough Taxi, is a licensed for-hire vehicle (FHV) in New York City (NYC). These vehicles can pick up passengers by street hail or dispatch in the outer boroughs of Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. However, SHLs are restricted from picking up passengers in Manhattan below 96th Street (East Side) or West 110th Street (West Side) and at NYC airports. SHL vehicles are easily recognized by their signature apple green color, a requirement set by the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC).
