Great Neck Car Service: Long Island's North Shore Peninsula

Great Neck is an 11.4-square-mile peninsula jutting into Long Island Sound, home to roughly 40,000 residents across nine incorporated villages in the Town of North Hempstead. Bordered by Manhasset Bay to the west and Little Neck Bay to the east, the peninsula includes some of Nassau County's most prestigious addresses -- from the Gold Coast estates of Kings Point to the gated village of Kensington, ranked the number-one best place to live in New York by Niche. True North VIP provides professional chauffeur service tailored to the unique geography and logistics of this tight-knit peninsula community.

Middle Neck Road runs north-south as the spine of the peninsula, connecting the commercial hub of Great Neck Plaza (250+ shops and restaurants) to the residential villages at the tip. Northern Boulevard (25A) forms the southern boundary, and the LIE at Exit 33 provides expressway access -- though that interchange is one of Long Island's most congested bottlenecks during rush hours. Our chauffeurs know the back-route alternatives that bypass Exit 33 entirely, using local roads to connect to the Grand Central Parkway for airport transfers and Manhattan-bound trips.

Whether you need a point-to-point transfer to LGA (just 19 minutes off-peak), an hourly chauffeur for a day of errands across the peninsula, a corporate account as a LIRR alternative, or event transportation for a Kings Point waterfront reception, our vetted chauffeurs and flat-rate pricing provide a seamless alternative to rideshare unpredictability and Exit 33 gridlock.

Gold Coast Estate & Peninsula Travel

Great Neck is where F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote much of The Great Gatsby, and the peninsula's character -- Gold Coast grandeur, tight-knit village life, waterfront beauty -- endures today. Our chauffeurs navigate it all.

Kings Point Estates

Former Gold Coast mansions, the Merchant Marine Academy on Walter Chrysler's old estate, and waterfront properties with private docks. We handle gated entries, long driveways, and waterfront-road navigation daily.

Academy Events

The Merchant Marine Academy hosts graduations, formal dinners, and sporting events year-round. We coordinate multi-vehicle family transportation, handle campus drop-off protocols, and stage for post-ceremony pickups.

Great Gatsby Heritage

Fitzgerald lived in Great Neck from 1922 to 1924. The peninsula inspired "West Egg" -- Sands Point across Manhasset Bay became "East Egg." Our hourly service is perfect for Gold Coast literary and architectural tours.

LIRR Commuter Alternative

The Port Washington Branch offers a direct 25-minute express to Penn Station -- no Jamaica transfer. But for early flights, late returns, or trips with luggage, our door-to-door service eliminates station parking and last-mile hassles.

Middle Neck Road District

The commercial spine of the peninsula: 250+ shops and restaurants in Great Neck Plaza, Persian bakeries and delis, fine dining, and professional offices. Drop-off and pickup at any storefront -- no circling for metered parking.

Community Events

Great Neck's diverse community hosts cultural celebrations, synagogue and church events, country club galas, and waterfront summer gatherings throughout the year. We provide group transportation for events of all sizes across the peninsula.
