FilmCars is an antique and vintage car rental company in New York City. From weddings to Broadway, our company has earned a solid and proven reputation in the business. Founded in 1983 and in partnership with New York Checker since 2006, wedding couples and planners have trusted FilmCars to provide not only classic cars but guaranteed dependability and flexibility in helping make the Big Day special.

FilmCars knows that a successful wedding requires flawless coordination to carefully manage the details and that its transportation is best served by drivers who care deeply about accommodating a couple’s needs and applying positive energy in working with your photographer and videographer to make sure the car gives them what they need, even when there are sudden changes to the Day’s plan which in many cases means staying on a little longer.

Special discounts are offered for those in the armed forces (active and retired) as well as for first responders.

A highlight of our day

If you're thinking of hiring Peter's checker cab, as an addition to your wedding day, we could not recommend it highly enough! Peter was a pleasure to work with; from his initial, carefully thought out emails, to his demeanor on the day, as well as the presentation of the cab, he clearly has a keen eye for detail. Peter was meticulous with his facts, as he drove, and chose the perfect spot in Washington Square Park for us to have pictures. We will look at Peter and his services fondly as one of the highlights of our big day!

The BEST experience out there

We had the most incredible experience with the 1968 taxi and the most exceptional Peter as our driver. It was unbelievable experience! The vintage taxi added such a unique and special touch to our wedding day, and Peter's service was outstanding. The charm and character of the car, coupled with Peter's professionalism and warm and kind nature, truly made our day unforgettable. We highly recommend this combination for anyone looking to add a touch of nostalgia and class to their special occasion. A week on and we still cannot stop thinking about what a truly remarkable human being Peter is. It almost brings tears to my eyes at the thought of not being able to have the opportunity to see him again. I can hand on my heart say that I doubt there is another service like this, not only in New York but in the world. Peter you are amazing!
