Cabs & Taxis

Vintage Taxi Rental NYC for Brand Activations

Three of the world’s most recognizable taxis, ready for your brand: a 1968 Checker Marathon, a vintage NYC yellow cab, and a classic London taxi. Instantly photographable, fully brandable, with vintage or backlit topper options.

Because we own our own fleet and handle fabrication, wrapping, and graphics entirely in-house, we can turn a bare cab into a fully branded activation on a tight timeline — for press events, product drops, fashion launches, and photo-first campaigns.

Need more than a cab? See our full experiential vehicle fleet, or take your activation on the road with our mobile tours.

Taxi Rental FAQs

Which cab should I rent for my activation? + -

Choose the 1968 Checker Marathon when “classic New York” is the story, the vintage NYC yellow cab for the everyday yellow taxi New Yorkers grew up hailing, and the London taxi for heritage and international brand moments. You can also pair cabs for a dual NYC-and-London look.

Are the cabs drivable? + -

Yes. All are licensed, insured, and fully road-ready, so they can be used for local transport, static display, or rolling activations.

Can you fully brand a vintage taxi? + -

Yes. It’s our fleet, so we can vinyl wrap the exterior, brand the roof topper, fabricate 3D props, and style the interior with seat covers, decals and lighting.

Can I rent more than one cab? + -

Yes. We have a growing fleet available for local, regional, or multi-city rollouts — NikeCourt, for example, ran two branded yellow cabs together.

How fast can a cab be wrapped and prepped? + -

Wraps can be turned around in as little as 48–72 hours. Props or complex installs may require 2–4 weeks. Sometimes we can deliver on an even shorter turnaround — contact us to discuss your project.
