This article introduces Nexar's Rideshare Protect Program for American Transit, a monthly subscription for professional drivers in NYC that includes a Nexar dash cam and a TLC insurance discount.


What is Nexar's Rideshare Protect Program?

This program is a Safe Driving package for professional drivers working within the NYC area (as well as other locations in the near future). For a monthly fee, drivers receive a discount on their TLC liability insurance. In addition, drivers receive a Nexar-ready dash cam, and the many practical benefits from the Nexar safety features, such as collision reports.
