Peter and his amazing car really made our wedding just so very special. I am so glad that we reached out to him, I don't even know where to begin. Peter was incredibly responsive and so thoughtful in his suggestions for our day.
He picked us up (and was early) from our first look location downtown - and the second we saw the car we were even more excited about the day, which we didn't think was possible!
We told him a few spots we were thinking of in Brooklyn but really put everything in his hands, which worked out beautifully - he drove us over the Brooklyn Bridge and found the perfect spot that wasn't crowded and had absolutely gorgeous views. And then when our photographer wanted to go back to another mural we passed, Peter didn't blink and knew exactly how to get there.
I know he's been doing this a long time, but he seemed just as excited about the adventure as we were which made everything just so fun. The car was, of course, AMAZING - which we could tell by the photos and information he sent us initially - but what we didn't know was how wonderful Peter himself would be.
We are seriously considering booking him again for our one year anniversary - Peter, please keep September 3rd free :-)
Peter and FilmCars was a very magical part of a very magical day, and we are so thankful we found him! If you're considering it too, go for it, you will not regret it!! -

We had the absolute best experience with Peter and FilmCars on our wedding day! From the first communication, Peter was not only knowledgeable and helpful, but an absolute delight. I'm not kidding when I say that I have never enjoyed reading someone's email's so much. He is the sweetest man and has fantastic stories. He even took us to some really charming spots in the area to grab a few more photos on our way back to our hotel. Peter is just the best and clearly loves what he does.
In addition, the taxi, which I booked as a surprise for my fiancée and our friends, was beautiful, comfortable, and looked amazing in pictures! It was a treat riding around Brooklyn in the taxi, seeing the joy it brought to passersby. I would book FilmCars and Peter again in a heartbeat! -

A sensational, five star experience 🬟🬟🬟🬟🬟
Peter, the owner, is the nicest person I have ever met. His attention to detail, fun and humorous spirit, and genuine kindness made him a pleasure to work with. Our wedding day driver, Miguel, couldn't have been more thoughtful and attentive. The vintage taxicab brought some nice sunshine to our rainy wedding day and made for some standout photos for us, our families, and our guests. I highly recommend FilmCars for your special occasion! -

Peter and Gil made everything from booking to day-of so seamless. Their kindness speaks volumes and the classic NYC taxi made our New York wedding extra special - not to mention so much more affordable than vintage vehicles quoted elsewhere. Their services is top notch and we will continue to recommend and support this business as a rare gem in a sea of vendors! Not to mention there were behind-the-scenes hiccups day of (since it was pouring rain on our day) that we had no idea happened, and everything was perfectly perfect. THANK YOU! -

In April 2023 we eloped from Australia to NYC. My fiancé decided to surprise me hiring an original NYC yellow cab. Peter Yannello owner of Film Cars.com was referred to us by our photographer Sascha Reinking. Peter was absolutely fantastic in his correspondence and our driver Larry was outstanding. Larry drove us all across NYC from the Beekman Hotel to Central Park for our ceremony and then down 5th Ave and over to LIC for photos on a very busy Friday in Spring. The cab saved us travel time and no sore feet for a bride in heels. We didn’t quite realise how famous this cab was (see Home Alone 2 and Lady Gaga in NYC) so it also drew lots of attention from the public which added to the magic, with people waving and shouting congratulations to us as we drove by or when we stopped for photos. We would recommend Peter in a heartbeat. The most special day that we will hold forever in our hearts. Thank you Peter. 💙 -

Stunning cars and a friendly driver
Peter was amazing with his epic NYC Taxi that totally made the whole experience just unreal to be in a ‘Phoebe taxi’ in NYC on our wedding day. He even got a little Union Jack for us to wave. -

My wife and I booked Peter and “Big Yellow,” a 1957 Checkered Cab, for our wedding day on New Year’s Eve and we are so glad we did. His warmth, kindness, support and professionalism was clear from our very first communication to our very last.
On the day of, Peter arrived early at our hotel and was on standby. He did everything he could to make the day special—from spontaneously driving us up to Tavern on the Green for photos to bringing additional lighting for inside the cab to having “just married” signs ready on-hand to bringing an Italian flag (we’re Italian) so we could hold it up in some shots to wiping down the car so we wouldn’t get wet to helping our photographer stage photos, Peter went above and beyond to make our day so seamless and so special.
It’s clear Peter loves his job (and his customers) and we’ll be forever grateful for his kindness and preparedness, which really helped provide a unique and characteristically New York vibe to our wedding. We would 100% recommend Film Cars to anyone interested! -

Darah D. Sent on 04/15/2023I have no words but WOW
Wow, wow, wow. Just.....wow. I knew I needed a vintage taxi, but I knew I made that right choice from the very beginning. It was just the cherry on top to finally see it on my wedding day. Peter, you have been absolutely amazing to work with for myself, and even with my Bring On The Brides clients. You are extremely respectful, kind, you care so much for your taxi and clients, you go above measures to confirm information, and make sure that we are all comfortable. Now, on the wedding day......WOW again. The taxi is beautiful, the pictures in/around it were beautiful. Everything about having you apart of my wedding journey and day was completely necessary. I am so happy I went with going DIFFERENT. And anyone who is reading this is thinking the same, I promise you will not regret it! -

Peter and his vintage cab absolutely made our wedding! Peter himself was an absolute delight and we loved hearing his stories about who else had been in the cab before us. He had a great relationship with our photographer which was helpful in making sure we visited the best places for some amazing photos. We would 100% recommend Peter and his vintage cab for any special occasion. -

Peter Yannello at FilmCars is one of the most professional, thoughtful, and genuinely nice people you will never meet. My wife and I are big vintage buffs and arranged to make a grand entrance at our wedding via checker cab. After another party claiming to rent them turned out to be the hack themselves — they took our deposit and ghosted — we frantically called the number on FilmCars' website and Peter picked up right away, in the middle of another wedding, in the middle of a long weekend. By that night, he followed up to confirm our date, and was communicative at every step of the process, greatly putting our minds at ease.
On our big day, Peter personally drove us, arrived significantly early to ensure our schedule was kept, and was fully prepared; the cab was immaculate, with an empty trunk for our props, sun shades to help our photographer, and the quintessential "just married!" in beautifully written script soap-markered onto the rear window, which in our despair we didn't even ask for. But the real bonus, upon seeing our guests' starry-eyed reaction to the cab, was that Peter stuck around with the cab a little longer to create the unplanned hit photo op of our cocktail hour (a genius content marketing move), delighting guests with stories of every film production "Big Yellow" had ever starred in. He even changed the window writing midway, too, to mix things up. Truly, FilmCars saved the day.
Whatever vintage cars you may need for your marriage, engagement shoot, or other event, give Peter a call. -

Peter helped to make our wedding day that special it was, he is one of a kind and it was a pleasure to have met him.
Our day started with a delay because of the traffic and I felt a little stressed, but Peter was so calm what makes me feel much better immediately!
He navigated through this big city and it's traffic with his unique Checker Cab without any rush. As "Home alone" - Fan driving in this car was so special, people starred at us and took photos of the beautiful car.
Thank you for everything Peter! -

Magical NYC experience
I can not say enough great things about the cab or Peter. Peter worked with us when the other cars were booked, and offered his personal vintage cab and himself as driver. Peter was a pro at navigating the city and even worked with our photographer to make sure we got the perfect shots- one being the cab, us, and the entire Empire State Building. It looks like it’s out of a magazine, and something that would not have happened without his suggestion.
He was one of the easiest vendors we worked with for the wedding. Incredibly responsive and personable. He made sure we got where we needed to on time and never felt rushed. It was so nice to have a calming presence on the way to the ceremony. If you are on the fence about hiring FilmCars, do it. Peter helped to set the tone for the whole day. He helped to make our big day run so smoothly. We would hire him again in a heartbeat. -

Film Cars NY - Thank you Peter!
Thank you so much Peter!
We absolutely loved our experience in the yellow cab - it was truly special for us on our wedding day.
We loved all the history around the cab, and we loved how passionate Peter was telling us all the amazing stories. None of which we knew beforehand - so this was extra special for us to learn.
Peter was prompt and professional, always ensuring the best and quickest routes possible were taken to allow us to get some amazing wedding photos in various locations around New York.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome and comfortable, we will remember our trip around NYC in the cab forever! and thank you for the special touch with the flags.
How many people can say they have travelled across the Queensboro Bridge in the same cab as Kevin McCallister singing their favourite Christmas karaoke song by Darlene Love on their wedding day!?!
Forever grateful,
Riah & Steven -

The best rental car company in NYC hands down!
As someone who is born & raised in NYC I am skeptical of a company and particularly of a person who receives ALL FANTASTIC reviews. I thought I’d give it a try after reading all the great reviews and reach out to a person named “Peter” who everyone seems to rage about. I received a response immediately the next day breaking down the details and options available. This was the first rental car company that I’ve worked with that didn’t give me a headache!
I rented the checkered taxi cab to surprise my husband for our anniversary since his favorite movie is taxi driver. He loved it! The cab was in mint condition. Peter our driver was fabulous . He was welcoming, professional, pleasant and went above and beyond to make our night special. He suggested a place to take pictures with the nyc skyline in the background. He took wonderful pictures of me and my husband. And he was in no rush to drop us off to our destination. He had a wonderful selection of old school songs from in the 70’s-80’s and took us through Times Square (a famous scene from the movie taxi driver).
My point is if you are skeptical of this company like I was originally, don’t be. Peter is a true gem and it’s rare to find that in NYC these days. I would highly recommend you won’t regret it! -

Perfection! Working with Film Cars today was amazing! Kind and gentle and just incredibly patient. They waited while I was able to take my pictures and I didn't feel rushed. Also, as my couple and I were headed into Central Park I was explained exactly where they were going to be parked so we knew where they going to be parked when my couple and got out of the park. I cannot even explain how sweet and wonderful it was to work with them.
Thank you

Peter is an absolute gem of a human being! Not only is the classic New York taxi cab a staple for a New York wedding, but Peter goes out of his way to make the day more than memorable. He is so responsive, one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and was flexible driving us to our various destinations. The taxi cab comes with a lot of history which Peter was well equipped with and kept us entertained on the drive. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks Peter! -
