Where will my chauffeur meet me at JFK, LGA or Newark?

Without meet and greet, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curbside, with these exceptions. At JFK Terminals 5 and 7, car service passengers take the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach car service lot under the airport's rule. At LaGuardia, car service pickups for Terminal B are on Level 2 of the Terminal B parking garage, and Terminal C pickups are in the arrivals inner lane. Terminal A has had no airline flights since May 2026. At Newark Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3.

Select the meeting option when requesting your ride. The chauffeur meet and greet puts your chauffeur inside with a sign and luggage help; the dedicated greeter is a separate person. See airport meet and greet for details.

Which vehicle fits my passengers and bags?

Choose a vehicle by passenger count, then enter your bags so you can compare the space needed with the available class. True North VIP offers six vehicle classes for airport rides.

Vehicle classPassenger capacityBooking note
Executive SedanUp to 2Enter your bag count when requesting the ride.
Luxury SedanUp to 3Enter your bag count when requesting the ride.
Executive SUVUp to 6SUV class for groups and families.
Luxury SUVUp to 6SUV class for groups and families.
Executive SprinterUp to 13Quoted on request.
Jet SprinterUp to 10Quoted on request.

Capacity measures passengers, while luggage uses separate space. Count checked bags, carry-ons, strollers and bulky items, then enter the total in the request. A party with several large suitcases may need more room than a group of the same size carrying small bags.

Child seats cost $25 each and are available in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans. Include each child's age, weight and height with the request. See car service with child seats for the seat policy.

Sprinters are quoted on request. Provide passenger and bag counts, addresses, date, flight details and your preferred meeting option so the team can prepare a quote.

What happens after my flight lands?

Airline flights are tracked in real time, with a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing. Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies.

Add the arriving flight number to your request. We track airline flights in real time and coordinate the pickup around the landing. After landing, collect your bags and follow the terminal instructions to the meeting point. The airport wait time starts after the plane lands, giving you time to deplane, collect bags and walk to the pickup area.

For a departure, enter your scheduled flight number, airport terminal and pickup address. Choose a pickup time that lets you reach the airport before the airline's check-in and boarding deadlines. Travel time depends on the exact origin, route and traffic.

How do I book Long Island airport transportation?

Request a ride online 24/7 or call 888-887-0324, answered 24/7. Add the exact pickup and destination, travel date, airport code, terminal, flight number, passenger count and bag count.

For an outbound ride, enter your full home, hotel, office or station address, the airport on your itinerary and departure flight details. A station name such as Smithtown LIRR station differs from a nearby residence, and the route price uses the location you enter.

For an arrival, add the airport, terminal, airline flight number and Long Island destination. Choose the meeting option that fits your arrival. For a round trip, submit both legs with the correct flight details for each direction, then review the ride details and displayed price. See Long Island car service, Nassau County car service and Suffolk County car service for local service information.

Can I take the LIRR and AirTrain to JFK?

Yes. A public-transit connection to JFK can use the Long Island Rail Road to Jamaica, followed by the AirTrain to the airport. The MTA describes the Jamaica connection in its JFK airport guide.

The connection includes a transfer at Jamaica and a separate AirTrain ride. Compare the transfers with your luggage, departure time and party size; the MTA fare for a Long Island origin depends on the starting station and fare zone. Check current MTA information when planning rail travel.

A private airport ride takes you from the address you enter to the airport. It can help when a group has several bags or starts away from a rail station.

How do I arrange a transfer between airports?

Request an inter-airport transfer by entering the arrival airport as the pickup and the next airport as the destination. Include the arrival and departure flight numbers, both terminal details and the connection date so the ride request reflects each leg.

For a JFK pickup, follow the terminal-specific steps in the airport table; for a LaGuardia pickup, use the row for your terminal. If you have a connection between JFK, LaGuardia or Newark, keep the airline itinerary open while entering the airport codes and terminals. The route is a separate airport-to-airport ride, so enter the second airport as the destination rather than your Long Island address. Read inter-airport transfer details for more planning information.

Where are private-flight pickups available?

We meet arriving private flights at JFK, Newark, Teterboro (TEB), Westchester (HPN), Republic (FRG), Long Island MacArthur (ISP), Morristown (MMU), East Hampton (HTO), Gabreski in Westhampton Beach (FOK) and Trenton-Mercer (TTN). Your chauffeur meets you in the FBO lobby, or planeside when the FBO allows it.

For a private flight, send the FBO and tail number, or your flight team's timing, and we coordinate your pickup. Airline flights are tracked in real time; private-flight coordination uses the FBO and timing details you provide.
