Grand Central Terminal at 89 East 42nd Street is the busiest transit hub in North America, serving over 500,000 visitors daily. Metro-North Railroad's three commuter lines (Harlem, Hudson, and New Haven) terminate here, and the new Grand Central Madison concourse below brings Long Island Rail Road passengers to the east side of Manhattan for the first time.
The terminal sits at the intersection of three critical vehicle corridors: 42nd Street crosstown, the Park Avenue Viaduct (which routes around the building between 40th and 46th Streets via the Helmsley Building), and the Lexington Avenue subway hub carrying the 4/5/6/7 lines. One Vanderbilt — the 1,401-foot SL Green tower with the SUMMIT observation experience — rises directly adjacent, and JPMorgan's new global headquarters at 270 Park Avenue connects directly to Grand Central Madison below.
Three primary ride intents converge here: airport transfers for commuters and visitors connecting to JFK, LGA, or EWR; corporate pickups along the Park Avenue corridor for executives at JPMorgan, MetLife, and the Midtown East office towers; and point-to-point transfers to hotels, restaurants, and destinations across Manhattan.
True North VIP provides professional car service at every Grand Central exit: Vanderbilt Avenue staging for the main terminal, Madison Avenue positioning for Grand Central Madison, and cross-street staging for Midtown East corporate buildings — with chauffeurs who track train arrivals in real time and adjust positioning automatically.
Three distinct pickup zones for the terminal complex. Each has specific staging logistics our chauffeurs know by heart.
Staging: Vanderbilt Avenue between 42nd and 43rd Streets, along the terminal's west facade
Best for: Metro-North arrivals, main concourse exits, The Campbell bar, Grand Central Oyster Bar
Notes: Avoids the taxi queue on 42nd Street and Park Avenue Viaduct congestion. Quieter curbside with better pull-up access.
Staging: Madison Avenue between 46th and 47th Streets (383 Madison exit) or 45th Street between Madison and Park (347 Madison exit)
Best for: LIRR arrivals from Long Island, connections to 270 Park Avenue
Notes: Eight tracks across two bi-level caverns. Multiple exits along Madison Avenue. Specify your exit preference when booking.
Staging: 43rd Street at Lexington Avenue, or Lexington between 43rd and 44th via the Graybar Passage exit
Best for: Chrysler Building area, Lexington subway exits (4/5/6), east-side office buildings
Notes: Three internal passages — Grand Central Market, Graybar, and Lexington Passage — connect the main concourse to Lexington Avenue. Tell us which passage you plan to exit from.
