In August 2026, high-volume for-hire vehicles recorded 333,024 pickups on Staten Island, about 1.6% of the 20,492,355 high-volume pickups citywide that month. A Staten Island driver still needs a TLC policy that covers for-hire work, not only trips that start in the borough. These figures are pickup locations, not where vehicles are garaged. Fleet pickup counts use the same aggregates. The source file is the NYC Open Data high-volume trip records.

Staten Island TLC insurance FAQ
Questions we hear most from Staten Island drivers
Is TLC insurance optional because Staten Island has fewer for-hire pickups?
No. A TLC-licensed for-hire vehicle still needs a current liability policy and an FH-1 on file. The August 2026 pickup count describes where trips started. It is not an exemption.
Do trips off the island change the quote?
Share every type of for-hire work, including trips that leave Staten Island. The correct policy depends on vehicle use, base requirements, and carrier underwriting.
How is my FH-1 certificate filed?
Once eligible coverage is placed, the insurer submits the required insurance information to TLC. Confirm the dates in TLC Up before treating the vehicle license as current.
Can I use a personal auto policy for Staten Island TLC trips?
A personal auto policy generally does not satisfy NYC TLC commercial insurance requirements and may exclude for-hire use. Get the required commercial coverage before operating.
