What is Uber?

Uber is an on-demand passenger app that allows passengers to summon drivers. In New York City (NYC), Uber has several Black Car and Livery Bases licensed with the Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC). Drivers with TLC licenses can affiliate their vehicles with one of Uber’s many bases and make money as independent contractors picking up pre-arranged rides with passengers. The insurance requirements for Uber in NYC are very different from the rest of the country.
