Fabian - The Checkered Cab Driver

We hired the checkered cab for my daughters wedding in NYC. It’s was the best decision, the cab was perfect! The greatest thing was her driver Fabian, he was wonderful, he arrived on time, let us know he was outside of the hotel , he took the groom to where they were doing first look, then came back for the bride. He was so accommodating and friendly he went above and beyond to make her day special! Also, she happened to leave her purse in the cab, he text me to let me know and went out of his way to mail it back me. That says a lot. I would definitely recommend the Checkered Cab but you have to request Fabian he is the best!

Family photo shoot

Great service! On time and met where agreed upon! The driver even assisted in taking some family photos. They added a Christmas wreath on the cab no charge and left us with a little parting gift. Great experience!

Fabian was our driver. Everything from start to finish went smoothly. For us it was a great investment, wish we could have had him longer, but with parking and traffic downtown NYC, it just did not seem feasible to do. I would do business with this company again, and I would highly recommend them. My pictures are too big to attach, but they came out beautifully, this was the I LOVE NY touch I wanted. I can't thank you enough.

I was very happy with my decision! They were very professional responsible, punctual, and our driver was very sharply dressed. The taxicab was drawing stares (in a good way) everywhere we went!

Very happy to recomend The Checker Cab.
Our day went totally to plan.
All correspondence with Mark was extremely efficient, and Robert the driver was there at the agreed time and place. He was extremely courteous and knowledgable, offering us plenty of advice as to routes he could take and places we could use for our pictures with the car in them. The cab itself was fantastic and got a lot of attention....eliciting smiles from everyone we came across.
They helped make our day even more special.
A fantastic company....of you are looking for something different from the usual sedan car....we really recommend The Checker Cab.

Mark made booking this adorable vintage cab way too easy for us!
It arrived early, was perfect for pictures, and the driver was patient and very professional.
It was worth every single penny and the pictures from the departure are my very favorite. You won't regret choosing him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
