    If you're thinking of hiring Peter's checker cab, as an addition to your wedding day, we could not recommend it highly enough! Peter was a pleasure to work with; from his initial, carefully thought out emails, to his demeanor on the day, as well as the presentation of the cab, he clearly has a keen eye for detail. Peter was meticulous with his facts, as he drove, and chose the perfect spot in Washington Square Park for us to have pictures. We will look at Peter and his services fondly as one of the highlights of our big day.

    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!!

    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 even happened, everything was perfectly perfect and we couldn't be more grateful for their help and beautiful vehicles as part of our special memories.

    Ok I cannot believe it took me 3 years to finally write this review. My husband and I used a checker cab for wedding photos and to get from our hotel on the LES to our venue in Brooklyn. Peter was THE best to work with, clearly loves what he does, and I seriously think his presence and fun energy added to our special day. Our photographer was trying to get a photo of us through the back windshield and Peter whipped out an anti-glare screen from the trunk to make it easier. This is one of my favorite photos from the day and captures what an amazingly nice man he is and how he truly cares for his clients. If you're even slightly thinking of booking a checker cab with Peter for your special event, just do yourself a favor and do it -- you won't regret it!

    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.

    I feel so bad because I have a sneaky suspicion I didn't leave a review for the first time I used this company, which was for our wedding last year. I've now used their service twice (second yesterday for our anniversary) Both times we were fortunate to get Peter as our driver. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable and told us the fascinating background of the car and the company. He's clearly dedicated to ensuring a good experience for his clients! He was also so wonderful and encouraging about us taking pictures with the car. Yesterday about 20 of our friends came to see it and he treated them all so well! I can't say enough good things about this company. If you have a special event, definitely book them. And for everything you get, I firmly believe the price is right!

    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!

    If I could give 100 stars, I would. The professionalism, speed, and courtesy Peter handled our request with is unparalleled. As a native New Yorker, it was my dream to rent a vintage taxi for my wedding and he made it happen on such short notice. The driver, Miguel, was icing on the cake. He was beyond kind and went above and beyond for us by providing us with water and helping direct traffic when we were taking our wedding photos. Whether you are looking to use the taxis for a film shoot or a wedding service, I cannot emphasize enough how special they made us feel and the utmost courtesy they provided. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

    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

    We used a checker cab for our engagement shoot and Film Cars made it so easy. Peter was very communicative and friendly over email, and he sent a driver named Miguel, who was just the best. Miguel arrived maybe two minutes late and was incredibly apologetic (he got held up in traffic), even though we didn't mind at all. He was so enthusiastic and clearly loves driving the 1969 cab we had. Another bonus was that the cab could actually drive us around, so we didn't have to walk back and forth on cobblestone and carry our stuff everywhere. I shopped around a lot and Film Cars was by far the best value. They are total pros and the customer service is wonderful. We love the photos and the cab added a special touch.

They handled our pickup from LGA to our Midtown hotel and later our return trip back to the airport, and both rides were flawless. This was truly 5-star service and one part of the trip I didn't have to worry about at all. The vehicles were clean and comfortable, communication was clear, and everything ran exactly on time. It was worth every penny compared to mass transit or other ride services. What really set them apart was their customer service. When we were dropped off at the airport, my son accidentally left his phone in the car. Umar went out of his way to drive all the way back around and personally return the phone to us--no hesitation, no attitude, just genuine care and professionalism. I can't recommend Precision NY Chauffeur Service enough. If you want reliable, stress-free transportation in NYC, this is the company to use.

    I was in Brooklyn NY on Friday, October 20th and Dekalb Car Service was highly recommended to me…read more I called and reserved their service to take me from Medgar Evers College to Penn Station. I was told that the fare was $40 to which i agreed to pay. The driver arrived on time and took me to Penn Station where I quickly produced my credit card to pay him. The driver flew into rage mode and demanded cash as this company does not deal in credit cards. No one advised me that it was cash only and while I tried to explain this the driver was Hispanic and seemingly spoke very very limited english. all that I could discern was that i rode knowingly that it was cash, and I did not have the money. there were no signs in his car announcing that this was cash only. he attempted to seize my laptop to get his money...the ride was $40 and I had $30 but his rage grew, and he parked his car and kept saying ATM. He talked to the local field NYPD who also spoke Spanish and left his car unattended to insist that i walk until i found an atm. the first one i found was broken; i kept walking with him on my heels speaking in Spanish and i growing more fearful because he was behind me. I finally found an atm, got $20 and asked for my $10 back in exchange for the $20 but he refused and got a 22% tip for horrific and terrifying service. I have no receipt for my $50 and cannot file a claim to be reimbursed. Grateful to have my life so the loss of $50 is really a small price to pay. I would never ever use this service again. Furthermore, I strongly have recommended that the elected official who recommended this company never use them again for any reason not even a dire emergency. I recognize that a few companies may deal in cash only but how unsafe is it to transport people and have cash on them jeopardizing lives and creating the likelihood that these employees will be robbed! Perhaps this company should reevaluate their procedures as trips can be in excess of $100 and who travels with that much cash on hand? My yellow cab trip to the college was $91 and the driver gladly accepted my credit card.

On top of that, he did not show up at the address we provided, which resulted in us going down the street in order to meet our ride. He tried defending himself saying that it's "not his fault", despite pointing at his monitor and telling us out loud that he read it improperly. Apparently dispatch gave him the wrong address.. and yet it was correct at the monitor he pointed at. Interesting. I spoke out, and so did my grandmother, and he laughed as we tried to explain that we were being cheated. Even said to me, "You talk a lot, huh?" Which I found ironic, since I don't usually speak during car rides. Most likely because they all go well. He was so busy talking that he also went down the wrong street, making the ride a lot longer than it needed to be. As we spoke he turned the volume up on his Christian radio station several different times, I think trying to offend me (since I dress in a rather alternative/goth manner) and get us to stop talking. Since my brother decided to stay silent, the driver chose to say that he would pray for my brother and bless him for being so respectful and quiet. Again. We are leaving from church. Because we are ALSO Christian. I don't need to be preached to by a scammer. But I don't think he realized, considering he surely didn't stop in front of the church as stated. Once we got out, he sped off. I almost didn't get the picture of his license plate. I do have it if need be, but for privacy's sake it won't be posted. But my tip for you is watch out for people who drive white cabs. This is a car service that my family has used for years, and to have a driver like this treat you in such a manner is really incredibly disheartening. Can't give anymore stars in good faith. TDLR; driver showed up at the wrong address, overcharged us, went the wrong way, tried to use my own religion against my family, overall it was a really aggravating and frustrating ride home for all three passengers.

As a Park Slope resident, my experiences with this car service have been terrible as well. I watched a driver back into another car on my street one morning and when I stopped by to tell the manager later, he said "If it really happened, why did you wait until now?"
