Flushing is one of NYC's most congested commercial districts — a second downtown in Queens with traffic patterns that punish drivers who don't know the bypass routes. The intersection of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue rivals Times Square for pedestrian and vehicle volume. The Van Wyck Expressway carries 160,000 vehicles per day between Kew Gardens and JFK, but getting onto it from downtown Flushing can take 20 minutes of stop-and-go traffic if you use the wrong approach.
True North VIP provides professional chauffeur service built around Flushing's three traffic traps. Trap one: the Main Street Busway pilot restricts through traffic between Roosevelt Avenue and Northern Boulevard. Trap two: the Van Wyck/Whitestone merge has an accident rate twice the statewide average. Trap three: downtown gridlock on Roosevelt Avenue and Northern Boulevard between Prince Street and Parsons Boulevard is chronic and permanent. Our chauffeurs bypass all three using College Point Boulevard, Union Street, and Parsons Boulevard — the parallel routes that keep you moving.
Whether you need an airport transfer from Flushing to JFK or LaGuardia, a coordinated pickup from SkyView Center or New World Mall, an hourly chauffeur for business meetings in the commercial district, or reliable car service anywhere in Queens, our vetted chauffeurs and flat-rate pricing make it simple.
Downtown corridors, bypass routes, mall entrances, and the Flushing Meadows event zone — our chauffeurs know every block and every shortcut.

Three bottlenecks define Flushing traffic. Ride-share apps drive straight into them. Our chauffeurs route around every one.
The Main Street Busway pilot restricts through traffic between Roosevelt Avenue and Northern Boulevard. Ride-share GPS frequently routes drivers into this restriction zone, adding 10-15 minutes of gridlock. Our chauffeurs treat Main Street as a no-go zone and stage pickups on Prince Street, Union Street, or 40th Road instead.
The Van Wyck/Whitestone Expressway merge has an accident rate twice the statewide average. Miss the correct lane and you end up on the Whitestone Bridge heading to the Bronx instead of JFK. Our chauffeurs position for this merge daily, using College Point Boulevard to access the Whitestone Expressway at the optimal entry point for the Van Wyck slip ramp.
Roosevelt Avenue between Prince and Bowne Streets is permanently gridlocked. Northern Boulevard between Prince Street and Parsons Boulevard is chronic congestion. Smart routing uses Prince Street to Union Street (via 40th Road), then Parsons Boulevard or College Point Boulevard to reach the expressway network without touching either corridor.
SkyView Center and New World Mall are two of Flushing's highest-traffic destinations. Front-door pickups on Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue are a gridlock trap. We coordinate at back entrances and garage exits instead.
SkyView Center sits on College Point Boulevard with a massive parking structure. The 40th Road garage entrance on the north side is far less congested than the main College Point Blvd frontage. Our chauffeur meets you at the specific garage-level exit that feeds directly onto 40th Road, putting you on College Point Blvd heading south to the expressway within one block. Text your chauffeur when you are 10 minutes from finishing and we pull into position.
New World Mall fronts Main Street — one of the worst pickup locations in Flushing due to Busway restrictions and pedestrian volume. The 40th Road side offers better vehicle access with a garage exit that avoids Main Street entirely. Our chauffeur stages on 40th Road near the garage ramp. This is a one-block difference that saves 10-15 minutes compared to circling Main Street looking for curbside space.
Pro tip: Weekend afternoons between noon and 5 PM are peak shopping hours in Flushing. The 40th Road garage exits are calm while Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue are at maximum congestion. Always specify "garage exit" in your booking notes.
Citi Field, the US Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium, and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park generate massive event-day traffic. Pre-positioned staging and post-event routing make the difference between a 15-minute exit and a 60-minute parking lot crawl.
Home of the Mets and host to major concerts. Citi Field sits directly off the Van Wyck Expressway and Grand Central Parkway. For post-game pickups, we stage on Roosevelt Avenue east of the park or on the Grand Central Parkway service road. Tell us your gate and we coordinate via text for a curbside meet as you exit.
The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center hosts the US Open for two weeks every August-September. Traffic around the venue is extreme during evening sessions. We use pre-positioned staging and the Van Wyck service road or College Point Boulevard to avoid the post-match parking lot crush. Book early for US Open dates — demand is high.
Flushing Meadows-Corona Park hosts the Queens Museum, the Unisphere, and seasonal festivals that draw large crowds. Pickups along the park perimeter use the Grand Central Parkway service road or Roosevelt Avenue. Direct Van Wyck and GCP access without touching downtown Flushing.
Flushing's central Queens location means quick access to both JFK and LaGuardia — if you know how to get on the expressway without fighting through Main Street. Add your flight number, luggage count, and terminal when booking.

Four steps from booking to arrival. The entire process takes under two minutes online.
Enter your Flushing pickup address — College Point Blvd, Union St, or any location. Select your vehicle, destination, date, and time. Get an instant flat-rate quote.
Include specific pickup notes: SkyView Center garage exit, New World Mall 40th Road exit, Prince Street staging, or Citi Field gate number. For airports, add your flight number.
Your vetted chauffeur arrives at your exact Flushing location — mall garage exit, residential curbside, or business entrance. You receive a text with vehicle details.
Your chauffeur routes via College Point Blvd and the Van Wyck slip ramp — bypassing Main Street gridlock entirely. For airport transfers, luggage assistance and flight tracking are included.
Your quote is locked at booking. No surge during rush hour, US Open traffic, Citi Field game nights, or rainy weekends. The price you see is the price you pay.
Provide your flight number at booking. Our system tracks arrivals from JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark and dispatches your chauffeur based on actual landing time.
Cancel or modify up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup at no charge. Cancellations within 24 hours may incur a partial charge. No-shows are charged the full fare.
Rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster seats available for $25 each. Select during booking and specify ages. Seats arrive pre-installed and safety-checked.
Flushing's congestion and ride-share surge pricing make advance booking the practical choice. A reserved car with a confirmed bypass route eliminates the uncertainty.
Morning and evening rush hours turn Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue into standstill traffic. Ride-share drivers unfamiliar with Flushing get routed into the Busway zone and sit. A pre-booked chauffeur who knows the College Point Blvd bypass is already staged on a side street, ready to move.
US Open sessions and Citi Field games flood the Van Wyck and Grand Central Parkway with event traffic. Ride-share availability drops while surge pricing spikes. A reserved car with pre-positioned staging and a confirmed exit route gets you out in minutes, not the hour it takes when you try to hail a ride post-event.
Early-morning JFK departures at 3-4 AM are common for Flushing residents with international flights. Ride-share availability at those hours is unreliable and prices vary wildly. A pre-booked car arrives at your door at the confirmed time with the same flat rate — no surprises at 4 AM.
