What areas does Long Island car service cover?
True North VIP serves Nassau and Suffolk County, including Long Island trips to Manhattan, regional airports and East End destinations.
Nassau County rides can begin in Garden City, Great Neck, Manhasset, Port Washington, Long Beach, Glen Cove or another village or community. The county includes the towns of Hempstead, North Hempstead and Oyster Bay, and the cities of Long Beach and Glen Cove. Its official lists identify 64 incorporated villages and more than 100 unincorporated areas, so include a street address and entrance with the town name. For a trip focused on Nassau County, see Nassau County car service.
Suffolk County service connects western communities such as Huntington and Islip with destinations farther east, including Riverhead, Southampton, East Hampton, Sag Harbor, Montauk and Greenport. Suffolk County has ten towns, from Babylon and Brookhaven to East Hampton, Southampton and Southold. Use the full address for a home, hotel, office, venue or other destination because a town name alone can cover a wide area. Explore Suffolk County car service and Hamptons car service for more specific trip planning.
A Long Island ride can start at a residence and end at a Manhattan office, continue to an airport, or connect a hotel with a private event. For car service from Manhattan to Long Island, enter both addresses and the correct entrance or pickup point. A Lloyd Harbor to Manhattan car service, a Sag Harbor car service request and a North Fork transfer each need their own pickup, destination and time. Add a return ride separately when you know its date and departure location.

The examples show how the starting point, destination and vehicle class shape the displayed trip price. The Great Neck example is a local reference for car service to LGA from Long Island; enter your own addresses and travel details to review your route-specific amount. Sprinter trips are quoted on request.

Which vehicle fits a Long Island trip?
Choose a vehicle by passenger count, then enter the number of bags so the vehicle selection reflects your group.
| Vehicle class | Passenger capacity |
|---|---|
| Executive Sedan | Up to 2 |
| Luxury Sedan | Up to 3 |
| Executive SUV | Up to 6 |
| Luxury SUV | Up to 6 |
| Executive Sprinter | Up to 13 |
| Jet Sprinter | Up to 10 |
The sedan and SUV classes work for individual travelers, couples, families and small groups; the two Sprinter classes serve larger parties. Passenger capacity and luggage capacity are separate, so count every passenger and enter your bag count before selecting a class. The amount and size of luggage can affect the space your group needs. See our fleet for the vehicle classes available.
Families can request child seats of every type (infant, convertible and booster) for $25 each in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans. Add the request when you book so the selected vehicle and child-seat request appear with your trip details. More information is on our car service with child seats page.
Where will my chauffeur meet me at the airport?
Without meet and greet, your chauffeur meets you where the airport tells prearranged car services to go. The table shows the standard pickup point at each airport.
| Airport or terminal | Standard pickup point |
|---|---|
| JFK Terminals 1, 4 and 8 | Arrivals curbside |
| JFK Terminals 5 and 7 | Take the free AirTrain to Howard Beach; meet your chauffeur at the car service lot |
| LaGuardia | 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. |
| Newark Liberty (EWR) | At Newark Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3. Terminals A and B use arrivals curbside. |
| MacArthur Airport (ISP) | Use the pickup details for your trip |
At JFK, follow the meeting point listed for your terminal. JFK curbsides are active loading areas, so go to the pickup point when you and your bags are ready to leave the terminal. See NYC airport car service, JFK car service, LGA car service and MacArthur Airport car service for airport details.
Add your airline flight number when you book and we track it. Airport pickups have 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. These windows give you time to collect your luggage and reach the meeting point.
You can add meet and greet for $25. Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name sign and helps with luggage. A dedicated greeter is available for $150; this is a separate greeter who waits inside the terminal, useful during terminal construction or for VIP arrivals. Choose the service that matches how you want to meet your party at the airport.
Which airports serve Long Island travelers?
Long Island airport car service can connect a home, office or hotel with JFK, LaGuardia or MacArthur Airport (ISP).
For airport car service on Long Island, compare the airport, airline and final address before entering your trip details. JFK and LaGuardia connect Nassau and Suffolk with a wide range of domestic and international itineraries. MacArthur Airport, also called ISP, is in Ronkonkoma. Its official airline list includes Avelo, Breeze, Cape Air, Frontier, JetBlue and Southwest. The airport lists a nearby Long Island Rail Road station and ground transportation options that include rental cars, taxis, Suffolk Transit Route 6 and Hampton Jitney. Check the airport's current airline and ground transportation information when planning a trip.
Choose an airport by the available flight, your schedule, final address and complete ground route. Enter the airport and terminal details with your pickup and destination so the ride is planned around your actual flight.
For private aviation, 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. Put the correct airport and FBO in your request so the pickup plan is clear.
Should I take the LIRR or a private car?
The LIRR is useful for station-to-station travel, while a private car takes you from the address you enter to your destination.
A train can fit a trip that starts near a station and ends near a Manhattan station. Check the route and current timetable for your origin and destination. If you are continuing to JFK by rail, the LIRR and AirTrain are separate parts of the trip; the airport publishes current AirTrain information. The train can also leave you with a final walk or another connection between the station and your actual destination.
A private car can simplify a trip when you want pickup at a home, hotel or office, are traveling with bags, or need to reach an address away from a station. For a family or group, one vehicle keeps the party together between the pickup and destination. Compare the complete trip from the pickup door to the destination entrance. For rail, include station access, scheduled departure, transfers and the last connection; for a car, enter both addresses, passenger count and bag count. This helps you compare the full trip around your schedule. For city travel after a Long Island ride, see Car Service NYC.
Taxis and rideshare apps are other ways to travel, with their own pickup arrangements and trip pricing. With a chauffeur, enter the complete addresses and vehicle class, then review the price shown for that route before you book. Use the option that fits your departure point, luggage and schedule.
How do I plan a Hamptons or North Fork trip?
Enter the exact East End address, travel date and pickup time for a Hamptons or North Fork ride.
South Fork destinations include Southampton, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Sag Harbor and Montauk. North Fork trips can connect Riverhead with Cutchogue, Southold or Greenport. Long Island car service from Manhattan to these communities covers different routes, so use the full street address instead of treating the East End as one destination. For a return from a restaurant, hotel, residence or event, add the pickup address and time for that leg too.
The example prices above include East Hampton to JFK and East Hampton to Times Square, with route miles and four vehicle classes. They let you compare an airport transfer with a Manhattan trip before entering your actual details. For a weekend away, review both directions and the pickup location for the return, especially if the outbound ride starts in Manhattan and the return begins at a Long Island address.
If your plans include several appointments, meals or stops, hourly service may fit better than a single point-to-point request. For a single direct transfer, enter the pickup and destination separately and choose the vehicle that fits the party and luggage. The Hamptons page covers more East End destinations and travel planning.
How long can a Long Island car trip take?
Typical route estimates vary by starting point and destination; use live road conditions to plan your departure time.
| Representative origin | JFK | LaGuardia | Manhattan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden City | 15 mi, 26 min | 19 mi, 33 min | 26 mi, 47 min |
| Great Neck | 17 mi, 29 min | 14 mi, 26 min | 21 mi, 40 min |
| Huntington | 33 mi, 46 min | 30 mi, 43 min | 38 mi, 1 hr 1 min |
| Port Washington | 20 mi, 34 min | 19 mi, 35 min | 26 mi, 47 min |
| Southampton | 82 mi, 1 hr 30 min | 85 mi, 1 hr 37 min | 93 mi, 1 hr 53 min |
Use these town-level estimates as a planning reference. Check 511NY for current Long Island road conditions and allow time for the pickup, airport check-in or final stop in your own schedule. For the live regional road report, visit 511NY Long Island traffic.
Use the table to compare distances between example origins and destinations, then enter the full addresses for your request. Southampton is one representative South Fork destination; East Hampton, Montauk, Sag Harbor and North Fork communities have different routes. The airport terminal, final street, time of day and current road conditions all affect the trip you need to plan.
What should I include when booking Long Island car service?
Enter the pickup and destination addresses, date, pickup time, passenger count, bag count and vehicle class.
For an airport ride, include the airport, terminal, airline and flight number. For an arrival, add a reachable passenger phone number and select the standard pickup or meet and greet. At JFK, the terminal determines whether your standard pickup is at the arrivals curbside or the Howard Beach car service lot. For a private flight, enter the airport where it lands and add the FBO.
For a Manhattan trip, add the building entrance or designated pickup point when you know it. For a weekend, submit the outbound and return rides with their own dates, times and addresses. For a group traveling to an event or gathering, include the destination entrance and any planned stops so the requested service reflects the actual itinerary.
Before submitting, review the spelling of both addresses, the time, passenger total, bag total, terminal and vehicle class. These details help you select the right trip and compare the price displayed for that route. If you need help, call True North VIP at 888-887-0324; dispatch and phone support are available 24/7.
How does hourly car service work on Long Island?
Hourly service has a three-hour minimum and suits plans with multiple stops or appointments.
| Vehicle class | Hourly rate | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan | $120 per hour | 3 hours |
| Executive SUV | $144 per hour | 3 hours |
| Luxury SUV | $165 per hour | 3 hours |
| Luxury Sedan | $200 per hour | 3 hours |
Example prices from our booking engine, October 2026. Taxes, tolls and fees included; gratuity optional. Your exact price is shown before you book.
Use hourly service for an itinerary that needs the vehicle across several stops, such as appointments in Nassau County or a day with destinations in the Hamptons. Share the expected schedule and locations when requesting the ride. For a direct trip between two addresses, enter it as point-to-point and review the route price. See hourly car service for more details.
