True North VIP is a reservation-based chauffeur service for executives, families, and private clients across New York City. Book point-to-point or hourly, with vetted chauffeurs and a dispatch-backed experience designed for busy NYC schedules.
A chauffeur service is private, pre-arranged transportation with a professional driver and a dedicated vehicle reserved for you. Unlike on-demand rideshare, every ride is scheduled, dispatched, and backed by an operations team.
Chauffeur service is ideal when timing, privacy, and consistency matter—airport connections, back-to-back meetings, client travel, family logistics, or a full day moving around Manhattan and the outer boroughs.
Who it's for: corporate travelers and executive assistants coordinating tight schedules, visitors who want reliable airport-to-hotel transfers, families who need car seats, and anyone who prefers a calm, professional ride over unpredictable pickup times.
Where we serve: all five NYC boroughs—Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island—plus airport transfers and metro-area trips when requested.
How booking works: rides are reservation-based. Choose point-to-point or hourly, add any required notes (pickup instructions, flight details, car seats, extra stops), and your chauffeur is dispatched for your itinerary.
What affects your quote: vehicle type, trip distance, day/time demand, planned stops, airport meet-and-greet requests, and any special requirements (child seats, extra time, itinerary complexity). Details are confirmed upfront so your ride runs smoothly.
Operational details you can count on: airport transfers include complimentary flight tracking; wait time follows our published policy; add-ons like meet-and-greet and child seats are available when requested; and our cancellation rules are published so there are no surprises.
NYC is not forgiving: double-parked streets, hotel loading zones, unpredictable traffic, and last-minute changes. A chauffeur service is built for that reality.
A reserved vehicle and a scheduled pickup beats hoping for a nearby driver at the worst possible time. Your chauffeur is dispatched to arrive early, not "searching for riders nearby."
Clear communication, clean presentation, and a service flow designed for hotel lobbies, office buildings, and airport terminals—not random curb stops.
Hourly blocks keep you moving between meetings, meals, shopping, or multiple stops without rebooking each leg. One vehicle, one driver, your timeline.
Ideal for executives, VIPs, and anyone who prefers a low-friction ride experience where the driver knows their role and respects your space.
Not a knock on any option—just the differences that matter when you're deciding.

This is what makes a chauffeur service actually work in New York.
Many Manhattan hotels have strict curb and valet procedures. We recommend sharing the exact entrance and any concierge instructions in your reservation notes so your chauffeur knows exactly where to stage.
Midtown and Downtown pickups often require timing buffers due to loading zones and traffic enforcement. If you have a hard start time (meeting, show, flight), tell us the required arrival time—not just the pickup time.
In neighborhoods like Midtown, SoHo, Tribeca, and the Upper East/West sides, "one quick stop" can become a 15-minute curb challenge. List stops in advance so the itinerary is planned correctly.
Terminals, pickup zones, and construction patterns change regularly at JFK, LGA, and EWR. Providing flight details and pickup preferences keeps the handoff smooth even when terminal layouts shift.
We serve all five NYC boroughs. For trips outside the city—Westchester, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, or long-distance destinations—availability depends on vehicle class, timing, and itinerary. Request it at booking and we'll confirm.
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island. Common areas: Midtown, Financial District, Hudson Yards, Upper East Side, Upper West Side, SoHo/Tribeca, Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn.
Westchester, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, Hamptons, Philadelphia.
Direct transfers, flat-rate pricing
Best for airport transfers, dinners, events, and direct rides where you don't need the vehicle waiting.

Best for multiple stops: meetings, shopping, site visits, photo sessions, or a flexible itinerary where your chauffeur stays with you.
Airport pickups can be curbside or meet-and-greet, depending on your preference and what's allowed at the terminal.
When you provide flight details, we monitor your flight and automatically adjust the chauffeur’s arrival for early landings or delays.
