A car service that predates the iPhone, the internet, and most of its competition.
Communicar has been moving New York's most demanding passengers since 1976. Boards, partners, principals, performers — the people whose calendar is the rate-limiting factor.
We built one of the tri-state's most respected ground transportation operations by ignoring most of what the industry tried to sell us, and obsessing over the parts that actually matter: the driver, the car, and the minute you said you'd be picked up.
Fifty years in. Still independent. Still the same phone number.

[ 01 ] The story
FIFTY YEARS on the same roads.
From one phone in Queens to a 500-vehicle operation. Same family. Same standard. Same number.
'76
Founded
A handful of drivers, one dispatcher, and a phone in Glendale, Queens.
'89

Wall Street firms become a meaningful share of the book.
'02

Every car on the road, on a map, in real time. Years ahead of the rideshare apps.
'16
Global network
Affiliate operators in 550+ cities. One account, every city.
'26
Now
500+ vehicles. Still independent. Still picking up on time.
[ 02 ] What makes us different
Most of our drivers own a piece of the company.
That isn't a marketing line. It's how this business is structured. Our drivers are independent operators with an ownership stake in Communicar — which means the person at the wheel cares about your trip the way a partner cares about a client.
[ A ]
Driver-owned.
Skin in the game. The person picking you up has a stake in whether you call back.
[ B ]
Late-model fleet.
500+ executive sedans, SUVs, and vans — meticulously maintained, refreshed on a strict cycle.
[ C ]
Real insurance.
Every vehicle carries 100/300/200 policy limits. No gig-economy fine print.
[ D ]
Human dispatch.
A trained dispatcher answers your call at 3 PM and 3 AM. Always has. Always will.
[ 03 ] Who rides with us
A SHORT LIST of long names.
Three rough categories of passenger. Same fleet, same dispatch, same standard across all three.
