About Us

Sam Karabelnik is a full service insurance brokerage providing drivers and owners with TLC and FHV insurance for over 35 years. Whether you are a driver looking for individual coverage or owner looking for insurance to cover your car or rental fleet, our relationship with carriers (American Transit, Hereford and many more) means we can offer you the best rates possible. 

Sam Karabelnik started out as a taxi driver and after making a decent living for himself and learning the ins and outs of the business, he decided that he wanted to help other immigrant drivers who were having trouble getting started. Between getting all the right documentation, licenses, permits and coverage policies, Sam knew exactly how hard it was for people who didn’t speak English or spoke English as their second language (ESL). So together with his wife, Sam Karabelnik started the Sam K. Insurance company and has grown to several offices in the NYC metro area including one right down the block from the TLC or Uber Greenlight office in Long Island City. Today, Sam K Insurance is one of the premier insurance brokerage agency in New York City. Don’t be afraid and come join our family. We speak English, Spanish, Chinese and Urdu. 

We look forward to providing you the best service possible!
