New York City

New Yorkers are always on the go. At work or at play, the premium they put on their time is a simple function of the competitive pace and built-for-business infrastructure of the “city that never sleeps.” While there’s nothing more New York than taking the subway or hailing a cab, most people still enjoy the luxury, privacy, and freedom of driving their own car. Unfortunately, owning a car in New York City comes with real frustrations: Parking a car in Manhattan is seriously expensive and often seriously inconvenient. Depending on the garage’s location, it can now run up to a thousand dollars a month just to let your car sit unused in its own space. Servicing, detailing, and maintaining your vehicle is another significant expense and, perhaps more importantly, another recurring timesuck. When “time is money,” who wants to vet a reliable mechanic, schedule an inspection, or worry about a check-engine light when they’re on their way to a crucial meeting, rushing to catch a flight at JFK, or driving upstate for the first weekend of Spring?
