Roman's Taxi
Roman's Taxi is a taxi in Grand Theft Auto IV owned by Roman Bellic and is based on the near-identical Albany Esperanto. Roman's Taxis, however, are not driven on the streets by civilians, but by Roman's taxi drivers. The car is distinguishable by its various accessories relative to a taxi and custom red interior, but is, by default, dark gray with a discolored driver's side front fender. Niko can call Roman to send a taxi to pick him up after becoming good friends with him. The taxi driver is notoriously short-tempered, with the taxi rides peppered with insults hurled Niko's way for being a freeloader.
After unlocking the Algonquin safehouse; which is when, in the storyline, Roman appears to be making a great deal more money and is able to take out a large enough loan to pay for the high-class apartment; Roman's Taxi becomes a grey Cavalcade, with the same disgruntled driver as before. Driving Romans Taxi is the first thing you do in Grand Theft Auto IV.
