Dying to get a ride in the Car Force One? Reservations start at $45 for a trip from the Upper West Side to Wall Street, while shorter distances start at $35. Not a bad deal since the same trip will set you back some $30 in a regular yellow cab during moderate traffic, including a 20% tip. According to Ishai, a minimum fee for reservations is imposed because of the commitment it makes, as well as the opportunity cost involved. The company also doesn't charge cancellation or change fees. For regulars, he offers better rates and sometimes even offers free rides for short trips when he's not busy during his in-between client time.

Here's the catch, though. If you are planning to make a reservation of the Car Force One today and expect to get a ride the next day, then you're in for a huge disappointment. Making a reservation of the Car Force One should be done as early as possible because of its very tight schedule. The company receives bookings for March as early as 6-9 months before the book date. Most customers hire the company's high-tech vehicle for airport and business pickups.

You can make an online reservation by going to the Car Force One website, log in using the "carforceone" username and "president" as the password. You will be required to open an account for 15% off posted rates. Mr. Ishai is now planning of upgrading his gadgets with those that will be featured in the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which he will be attending this coming January. Some of the upgrades he's planning to make are:

• A 4K or 3D monitor (without glasses)
• Wireless phone charging dock
• A Karaoke machine
• Heated or cool cup holders
• A mousepad that can be used on the lap 

But what makes the Car Force One extra special, aside from its cool gadgets and complete amenities, is the reliability and customer service that the customer gets every time they avail of the company's service. Because of this, Ishai's regular customers grow in numbers, and he also gets to be their confidant for some! Although, for people who gets to see this awesome cab for the first time, it's the up-to-date technology that it offers is mainly the head-turner of New York's one and only, Car Force One.
