Question 1

Do I need a TLC license?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you need a valid NYC TLC (FHV) license to drive. Don't have one yet? We'll guide you through getting it fast, and you can start your application today while we help with the rest.

Question 2

What's the difference between Lease 2 Own and Weekly Lease?

Accepted Answer

With Lease 2 Own, each payment builds equity toward owning your vehicle at the end of the lease term. Weekly Lease offers maximum flexibility — rent a TLC-ready vehicle week-to-week with no long-term commitment. Both options come with a full daily schedule of AAR trips — more work than you can handle.

Question 3

How does the Bring Your Own Vehicle (BYOV) program work?

Accepted Answer

If you already own a TLC-licensed vehicle, you can join our network and start getting AAR trips immediately through CTG. We keep your schedule packed — you keep your vehicle and earn every day.

Question 4

How much can I really earn per day?

Accepted Answer

Earnings depend on your vehicle type and schedule. WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) drivers typically earn up to $850/day, while sedan drivers earn around $650/day. These figures are based on full-day AAR schedules provided through CTG, NYC's largest Access-a-Ride provider.

Question 5

What is Access-a-Ride (AAR) and how do I get trips?

Accepted Answer

Access-a-Ride is NYC's paratransit service for eligible residents. As a CTG-affiliated driver through LimeCars, you get a packed daily schedule of AAR trips. No hunting for rides, no downtime — your trips are lined up before your shift even starts.

Question 6

What vehicles are available?

Accepted Answer

We offer a range of TLC-ready vehicles including Toyota Camry hybrids, Toyota Sienna WAVs (wheelchair accessible), and various EVs and SUVs. All vehicles are maintained to the highest standards and come ready for TLC service from day one.

Question 7

How quickly can I start driving?

Accepted Answer

Once approved, most drivers are on the road within 48-72 hours. We handle the vehicle preparation, schedule assignment, and onboarding so you can focus on earning from day one.
