Garden City Car Service: America's Original Planned Community

Garden City is one of America's earliest planned communities, founded in 1869 by department-store magnate A.T. Stewart on nearly 10,000 acres of Hempstead Plains. Today it is one of Long Island's most affluent villages -- population 22,993, median household income of $228,000, a Gold Medal school district, and strict zoning that preserves the wide tree-lined streets and buried power lines that define the community. Located 18.5 miles from Midtown Manhattan, Garden City is the professional and cultural heart of Nassau County.

True North VIP provides professional chauffeur service tailored to Garden City's specific geography. That means expertise on the Meadowbrook State Parkway (where the Southern State interchange handles 200,000+ vehicles daily), bypass routing around Roosevelt Field Mall's 2.4-million-square-foot retail complex, and coordination with Garden City's five LIRR stations on the Hempstead Branch. Whether you need an airport transfer from your doorstep to JFK, a corporate car for your Franklin Avenue office, or wedding transportation between the Cathedral of the Incarnation and the Garden City Hotel, our chauffeurs know this community.

Unlike rideshare services that send unfamiliar drivers into Garden City's residential grid, our vetted chauffeurs understand the local road hierarchy -- Stewart Avenue for commercial routing, Franklin Avenue for the business district, Old Country Road for east-west transit, and the residential streets where quiet, professional service matters. Point-to-point transfers, hourly chauffeur service, and flat-rate airport pricing with no surge -- ever.
