What’s the environmental impact of OZOcars compared to regular cars?
OZOcars are much friendlier for our planet. Check out our nifty chart.
What is a hybrid car?
A hybrid car has both a gasoline engine and an electric motor. At different times during the course of driving, a hybrid car will run on either the electric motor, the gasoline engine, or sometimes, both. When running on the electric motor, the vehicle emits zero emissions. A hybrid car never needs to be "plugged in" -- the electric battery is charged each time the brake is applied. Hybrid vehicles are extremely fuel efficient and have nearly zero-emissions.
Do you offer child safety seats?
Unfortunately, we do not. You will need to supply your own child safety seats.

Contact us at info@ozocar.com and we will be happy to describe our insurance coverage to you.

Depending on the time of day, please allow a minimum of 20 minutes for ASAP calls in Manhattan and at the airports.

Cancellation Policy

How far in advance do I have to cancel in order to avoid a cancellation charge?
For Manhattan pickups: 30 minutes prior to reservation time.
For Outer Boro and Airport Pickups: 45 minutes prior to reservation time.
Out of Town Pick ups: 3 hours prior to reservation time.
What happens if I miss my booking or fail to cancel? What are your no-show fees?
For Manhattan Pickups: $24 or waiting time, whichever is greater
For Outer Borough pick-ups: The cost of getting back to Manhattan (including tolls, if necessary)
For Out of Town pick-ups: The cost of getting back to Manhattan (including tolls, if necessary)
Airport Pick ups
Where will the driver meet me?
All airport pick ups are inside on the arrivals level unless otherwise requested. If you prefer to be picked up curbside, please request curbside pick up at the time of booking.
How do I cut down waiting time charges?
If you know you have to wait for checked bags or that you have to clear customs, feel free, at the time of booking to ask that your reservation time be set for “x number of minutes after arrival time”. The agent will automatically adjust your order time, if your flight arrival time changes. In other words, if you know it will take you at least 30 minutes to clear customs and the scheduled flight time is 9:00am, you can tell the telephone agent that the flight arrival time is 9:00am, but that you want your car 30 minutes after arrival time. Our agents will then adjust your order time in the likely event there are changes to your flight ETA.
Pets, Packages, and other Miscellaneous Policies
Do you take pets?
We are happy to take your pet, if it’s under 25 pounds. Please inform the agent at the time of booking. If your pet makes a mess, we’ll have to ask you to cover cleaning costs.
Do you take packages?
Yes, we are happy to deliver packages. Please inform the agent at the time of booking. Additional charges may apply.
Is smoking allowed in your cars?
Cough cough. Sorry, no. All of our cars are non-smoking.
