Ubering on Long Island
Hi! I am a newbie and have been ubering in New York for 4 weeks now. I live on Long Island and usually end up ubering in the city. However, since I am a Long Islander , I would actually prefer to do uber on Long Island. I have started accepting pings on Long Island but I am worried. I have some questions about ubering on Long Island? Can we uber on Long Island? I mean ....Uber does show up requests on Long island....So, I believe we can do uber on Long Island. Do we require any special licensing to do uber on Long island? If so what other licenses should I get to do uber here on Long Island? I want to be legal driving uber on Long Island. How do I do it? I often drive around Huntington, Syosset, Oyester Bay, Garden City, Hicksville and pretty much all of Suffolk and Nassau Counties. Please advice me regarding what I have to do to avoid getting in trouble with the police here on Long Island. Thank you.

No no and no! Newark maybe but the rest are a BIG No!Actually it is legal for you to pick up at Newark Airport, Westchester and Nassau county as stated in the nyc tlc rules.
My bad your right....its that you can't refuse droop-offs in the 5 boros, Newark airport, Westchester county and Nassau countyNo no and no! Newark maybe but the rest are a BIG No!
People are clueless!
Don't go near Long BEach, nY. You'll be chased out within minutes.
No!!...I actually got a $750 ticket for going to pick up a passenger at Hicksville. I had to go to the Nassau TLC to pay the fine. ....And here is the Law :
IT IS NOT LEGAL TO DRIVE IN NASSAU COUNTY WITHOUT THE NASSAU COUNTY TLC LICENSE and The NASSAU COUNTY REGISTRATION sticker . The same goes for Suffolk County and the Hamptons. YOU need SUFFOLK County TLC license and Suffolk registration to drive in Suffolk.
I have applied for Nassau TLC license....I had to pay extra 175 for the license and 300 for registration. They also told me not to drive on Long Island till I get my long Island TLC license and registration.....and that if I am ticketed again the fine will be DOUBLE!!

Hahaha. Love it when they enforce laws. Uber paid your fine, right ?
Yes....Hahaha. Love it when they enforce laws. Uber paid your fine, right ?
Why anyone would ask LEGAL questions to uber drivers is beyond me. Ask 10 uber drivers a question and get 10 different answers. Got a question? ask your uber regional office.No!!...I actually got a $750 ticket for going to pick up a passenger at Hicksville.

No!...If you have any LEGAL questions ask the Nassau County TLC office And the Suffolk County TLC offices!!...Uber still sends us pick up calls on Long Island but you WILL get heavily ticketed if you are caught. It is YOUR driving record that is at stake here....Not Uber!!... (This is what I was told at the Nassau County TLC)Why anyone would ask LEGAL questions to uber drivers is beyond me. Ask 10 uber drivers a question and get 10 different answers. Got a question? ask your uber regional office.
Wonder why they wouldn't just set up a parade and catch uber drivers by the tons...free money right ?Yes....
Ask 10 uber drivers you get 14 opinions.Why anyone would ask LEGAL questions to uber drivers is beyond me. Ask 10 uber drivers a question and get 10 different answers. Got a question? ask your uber regional office.
4 of those come from Megatron and his multiple aliases/personalities?Ask 10 uber drivers you get 14 opinions.
No! Suffolk TLC is not enough to work at Hamptons. Both Towns of Easthampton and Southampton has their own Livery and Taxi licenses and stickers. They don't even cross honor each other.The same goes for Suffolk County and the Hamptons. YOU need SUFFOLK County TLC license and Suffolk registration to drive in Suffolk.
FYI.
I agree...The Hamptons require More licenses....There was a list of them somewhere....No! Suffolk TLC is not enough to work at Hamptons. Both Towns of Easthampton and Southampton has their own Livery and Taxi licenses and stickers. They don't even cross honor each other.

However, Suffolk County requires Suffolk tlc and Suffolk registration (excluding the Hamptons which have more requirements)
As always instead of arguing which uber driver's opinion you want to throw away or argue, the best place to find out the correct laws is from the Nassau and Suffolk County tlc itself. You can give them a call instead of arguing about that over here!
Anyone knows about getting tickets recently at bayshore ferries and islip?
Hamptons don't allow UBER, period. You can drop there, but can't pick up. So call ahead and ask customer where he's/she's heading, especially on weekends.
Yeah AVOID the hamptons!!
Is there good demand on Long Island right now? Thinking about doing this after work and on the weekends is it worth it?
