Gavriel Gavrilov
Owner
Next Century Insurance owner Gavriel began his professional career as a TLC driver, and since then, he has gone on to accumulate over 15 years of experience in the field. In this time, he discovered the complexities and difficulties of serving clients and dealing with many of the various issues that come with the territory of being a taxi driver in New York City.
Shortly after graduating from college, Gavriel ran a black car firm with a fleet of over 400 vehicles. Within this role, he was responsible for dispatching and servicing corporate clients and generating new sales. Shortly after the arrival of Uber and Lyft in New York, Gavriel established Next Century Insurance in order to better serve the drivers of the city.

Debra began her career in the TLC community when she was just 17 years old, where she worked for a TLC brokerage in Brooklyn. Throughout her time working in the industry, Debra has become a hugely respected and cherished community member, particularly by TLC drivers.

Where It All Began
On August 31, 2011, Next Century Insurance began its operations. Because of the amount of effort we put into servicing and supporting our clients on a daily basis, we have been able to develop a strong customer base after ten years in the business. In the future, we intend to keep pushing forward as we find new ways to better serve our clients and create more value for them.
Why Next Century Insurance?
As both Uber and Lyft shot to prominence, thousands of drivers entered the market almost overnight. Unfortunately, many of them found themselves in somewhat of a gray area when it comes to insurance and liabilities. They also lacked the customer service they needed to perform their jobs well. Recognizing the need, we saw it as an opportunity to service this niche, and now we specialize in protecting drivers and fleets right across the city, and we know how to do it correctly.

Our Brand Values
Next Century Insurance owner Gavriel knows just as well as anyone what it’s like to work as an NYC taxi driver, thanks to his 15 years of experience on the job. With his expertise, Next Century Insurance fully understands the nuances of the industry and recognizes the best way to service its clients. Most taxi drivers can get frustrated with the complexities of organizing their insurance, and Gavriel acknowledges this, which is why he helps them to get to grips with this unfamiliar territory without unnecessarily overcomplicating the process.
When application-based taxi firms began to operate in New York, an influx of drivers who had never worked as cabbies swamped the market, thankfully, we were able to develop and sell products that met their needs and budgets, and we will strive to continue serving this market as we have for the past decade.
What Makes Us Unique?
There are no two ways about it; insurance can be a tough subject to wrap your head around in terms of what it covers, what it does not cover, how it works, and who and when it pays out.
At Next Century Insurance, all of these factors and nuances are explained in a straightforward and easy to comprehend manner through our multi-lingual team. Our staff speaks English, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Arabic, and Ukrainian, so if you prefer to converse in one of these languages, please inform us when you get in contact. All of the team at Next Century Insurance are ready to help you with all of your needs, from acquiring a policy to aiding you with registering your car, going through the TLC process, and supporting you with an accident or claim.
