NYC TLC insurance for Uber and taxi driversTLC requires commercial auto liability in New York City – at least $100,000/$300,000/$10,000 – and an FH-1 on file before you pick up a fare. Personal auto policies exclude for-hire trips, so a private policy leaves gaps the moment the meter or the app turns on. A&Y Royal Insurance focuses on NYC rules, translating requirements into clear choices that protect your passengers and your livelihood. Keep your operations legal, avoid fines and suspensions, and drive with confidence every shift.

You stay focused on driving – specialists handle the paperwork and follow-ups.
How it works:
- Share basics in minutes: vehicle, VIN, driving record, TLC status, and where you operate.
- Speak with a licensed broker who clarifies coverage, deductibles, and TLC liability limits.

- Choose a policy; we coordinate FH-1 filing and deliver ID cards electronically.
- Ongoing support: document checklists, renewal reminders, and help with updates or endorsements.
Quick responses, online support, and flexible payment options keep your process moving without dead time.
Pricing factors and coverage built for work
Commercial driving carries higher risk than personal use, so premiums run above standard auto. Price depends on your vehicle class, driver history, mileage, base affiliation, garaging ZIP, and chosen limits. As an independent insurance broker, A&Y Royal Insurance compares multiple insurers to help you fine-tune limits and deductibles, aiming for the best mix of cost and real-world protection in NYC conditions. We also guide new and experienced drivers on policy structures that keep TLC compliance straightforward and predictable.
Core coverages drivers consider:
- Liability coverage meeting NYC TLC minimums for people and property.
- Physical damage: collision and comprehensive for your vehicle’s repair or loss.
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist to protect against underinsured parties.
- Optional add-ons that fit work patterns and reduce downtime after incidents.
Personal auto won’t cover app-on periods; that’s where Uber Insurance and TLC insurance close the gap for rideshare operations. Expect clear explanations on how coverage triggers during pre-accept, en route, and on-trip phases, plus practical tips to avoid claim denials.
