Gavriel Gavrilov
Owner
With over 15 year experience in the TLC industry, Gavriel started out as a TLC driver. There he learned the difficulties of servicing the clients and dealing with headaches of being a New York City cab driver. After graduating college Gavriel managed a black car company with over 400 vehicles, dispatched and serviced corporate clients and sales. Shortly after Uber and Lyft entered the New York market Gavriel founded Next Century Insurance.

Where It All Started
Our business started on August 31, 2011.
With 10 years in the market, we have been able to establish a strong customer base because of the amount of work we put into servicing and assisting our clients on a daily basis.
Why Next Century Insurance
With the rise of Uber and Lyft in the New York market we saw a niche for the number of drivers looking to work for them and recognized their need for insurance and customer service. Protecting drivers and fleets is what we do and we know how to do it correctly.

Our Values
Gavriel’s knowledge of what it was and is driving New York streets and servicing clients definitely provided an edge to the business. Understanding the frustrations of taxi drivers and trying to help them with unfamiliar territory such as insurance is what he excels at.
As app-based taxi companies entered New York more and more drivers who never were cabbies flooded the market with zero knowledge. We were able to produce and sell products based on their needs and budgets.
How We Are Different
Insurance itself is difficult to understand, what it covers, what it doesn’t, how it works, who and when gets paid. All these aspects we try to explain and teach to our clients through our multi-language speaking staff. Our friendly staff is able to communicate in English, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Arabic, and Ukrainian. From purchasing a policy to assisting you with registering your vehicle, going through the TLC process, and helping with an accident or claim our staff is here for you.
