Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Prospectus Supplement, dated March 26, 2019, to a Prospectus dated November 9, 2018 (the “Prospectus” and “Prospectus Supplement”), filed pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-227858 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by DropCar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to an aggregate of 478,469 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). The 478,469 are to be sold pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 26, 2019, by and between the Company and the Purchasers named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”), which is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Registration Statement.
 
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended through the date hereof; (ii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended through the date hereof; (iii) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) relating to the issuance, sale and registration of the Shares; (iv) the Registration Statement, together with the exhibits thereto filed with the Commission; (v) the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement; (vi) such other records of the corporate proceedings of the Company and certificates of the Company's officers as we have deemed relevant; and (vii) the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In addition, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of certain other corporate records, documents, instruments and certificates of public officials and of the Company, and we have made such inquiries of officers of the Company and public officials and considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions set forth herein. Our opinions are limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not sought to independently verify such matters.
 
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.
