Compare — With vs. Without TLC Protection

Side-by-side: a $65 ticket becomes $180 without protection. See every scenario — with and without DriverProtect watching your back.

Without Protection: Penalties Escalate

A $65 red-light camera ticket doubles to $130 after 30 days if unpaid. Add a $30 late fee and you are paying $160 for a $65 ticket. An expired TLC license means you cannot drive at all — potentially losing hundreds of dollars in daily income until you renew. Expired insurance means your vehicle gets impounded. These scenarios happen to NYC TLC drivers every single day.

With DriverProtect: Penalties Stopped

DriverProtect catches the $65 ticket within 24 hours of it appearing on your record. You get an alert with the deadline date. Ticket Shield can auto-pay it before the penalty doubles. Your license expiration is tracked 90, 30, 14, and 7 days out. Your insurance documents are monitored continuously. You never pay double, never get caught with expired documents, and never lose a day of driving income.

The Math is Simple

The average NYC TLC driver gets 4-6 camera tickets per year. Without DriverProtect, late payments on just 3 tickets cost an extra $195. Add one expired document fine at $200+, and you have lost over $400 in avoidable costs. DriverProtect costs $15/mo ($180/year) and saves you an average of $1,200/year. That is a 6x return on your investment.
