Peer-to-peer car sharing · Westchester County
Levy is a peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace for Westchester County. Owners list their cars, and drivers rent them for day trips up the Hudson, airport runs, and errands the train does not reach. Hosts can create draft listings now. Bookings open when the marketplace launches.
Why it fits
Westchester runs on both rail and road. In 2024 Census survey data, 13.1% of the county's households had no vehicle and 20.6% of commuters took public transit (Census data via Census Reporter). Metro-North handles the trip to Manhattan; a car handles hikes, big shopping runs, and towns the train does not serve.
Visitors arriving at HPN or by train can pick up a car from a local owner instead of a rental counter.
If you ride Metro-North to work, your car may sit at home or at a station lot most weekdays. List those hours, or only weekends, and close the calendar whenever you need the car.
Rail riders and visitors pass through the county every day. The MTA calls White Plains the third-largest Metro-North station (MTA), and a host near a busy station can offer pickup a short walk from the platform.
Arrival and pickup
County-owned and about 30 miles north of Manhattan, on land in Harrison, North Castle, and Rye Brook (Westchester County). American, BermudAir, Breeze, Delta, and JetBlue fly there (airline information). Bee-Line Route 12 runs daily to the White Plains TransCenter and its Metro-North station (public transit); the fare has been $3.00 since January 4, 2026 (Bee-Line).
Both are in Queens. From Westchester the drive runs through the Bronx and over a cashless MTA crossing such as the Bronx-Whitestone or Throgs Neck bridge, where a car pays $7.46 with a New York E-ZPass (MTA).
White Plains, North White Plains, Valhalla, Pleasantville, Mount Kisco, Katonah, and more through the middle of the county (MTA line maps).
Yonkers, Tarrytown, Croton-Harmon, and Peekskill along the river.
New Rochelle, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Harrison, Rye, and Port Chester along the Sound.
The Metro-North station and the bus from HPN meet here, which makes it a natural handoff area for travelers.
Hudson Line and Amtrak trains stop here. The village runs the station lot and sells daily parking at $15 per weekday or $9 per weekend day (Village of Croton-on-Hudson), so a host who leaves a car there should tell the driver who pays for the spot.
Hosts can list from home. On a connected car, the driver unlocks with the app at the scheduled time, with no one waiting in the driveway.

Local driving notes
Rules change. Check the linked official sources before a trip.
Cashless, and tolled southbound only, from Rockland into Westchester. A car pays $7.25 with E-ZPass or $12.69 by mail (Thruway Authority rates, toll points).
The Thruway toll points at Yonkers (I-87) and New Rochelle (I-95) are cashless. Heading into Manhattan, the Henry Hudson Bridge costs $3.42 with a New York E-ZPass and $8.87 by mail (MTA), and continuing below 60th Street adds the congestion relief toll.
The Bronx River, Cross County, Hutchinson River, Sprain Brook, Saw Mill River, and Taconic parkways ban commercial vehicles (NYSDOT). Hosts with a van or a truck on commercial plates should say so in the listing.
Hosts in Westchester
A car that waits in the driveway while you commute on Metro-North can earn on the days you do not need it. You decide which days it is available and what it costs.
Hosts near White Plains, Croton-Harmon, or New Rochelle can offer pickup close to the train for drivers coming up from the city.
On a connected car, drivers unlock with the app during their trip window, using the same technology as Levy Guestpass. You never have to meet anyone to hand over keys.
Tolls from a trip are handled automatically, so you are not chasing drivers for toll bills weeks later.
You decide when the car is available and what it costs per day. Block dates whenever you need the car.
Drivers pay your price plus tax, with no Levy fees added on top. You keep 70%, 80%, or 90% of the trip price, depending on the protection plan you choose.

The bridge bills the car's E-ZPass, or mails a bill to the registered owner, for southbound trips. Levy matches tolls to trips automatically, so the driver pays for tolls on their trip and the host is not left with the bill.
If a host offers pickup there. Each listing will show its pickup area. White Plains is also where Bee-Line Route 12 from Westchester County Airport arrives.
In a passenger car, yes. Commercial vehicles are banned on those parkways, so if a listing is a van or a truck on commercial plates, use the Thruway or an interstate instead.
You can, at the village's daily rate of $15 on weekdays and $9 on weekends. For longer gaps, pickup from home is simpler and free.
