For airport arrivals and departures, begin with NYC Airport Car Service, then review the airport details for JFK Car Service, LGA Car Service or Car Service to Newark Airport. A trip between airports can be planned through Inter-Airport Transfers NYC.
For a direct ride across town, enter the exact pickup and destination addresses. For an itinerary with multiple appointments, hourly service provides a vehicle for a set block of time. Business and event requests should include the full schedule, venue addresses, passenger count and preferred pickup times. For a trip outside the five boroughs, enter both addresses to see the price for that route.
Airport service is the right starting point when pickup or drop-off is at JFK, LGA, EWR or Teterboro. Add the airport, terminal and flight details for an arrival. For a meeting schedule, compare a direct address-to-address ride with an hourly request. The trip type helps organize the request before you compare vehicle classes.
Where does New York car service operate?
Car service in New York covers neighborhood trips across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, with regional service across the tri-state area. Manhattan examples include Midtown East and West, the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, Chelsea, Tribeca, SoHo, Harlem, Hudson Yards, Murray Hill, Flatiron and Battery Park City.

Enter a complete street address for a home, hotel, office, venue or airport terminal. Add an entrance, building name or meeting-point detail when it matters to the pickup. A neighborhood name plus a full address gives the ride request a clear route and helps you review the appropriate trip price.
Queens trips can begin in Long Island City, Astoria or Flushing, while a Manhattan itinerary may connect Midtown, downtown or the Upper East Side. For a regional address, include the town and street so the pickup and destination are clear. For airport routes, include the airport and terminal as well as the street address for the other end of the trip.

How do car service, taxis, rideshare apps and transit compare?
Compare the full journey and the written service details before choosing transport. True North VIP offers sedans, SUVs and Sprinters with distance based prices, taxes, tolls and fees included and gratuity optional. Use the existing comparisons below to decide which format suits your trip.
A prearranged car service lets you choose a vehicle and pickup plan before travel, while taxis, rideshare apps and public transit use different trip and pricing methods. Compare the same addresses, time, passenger count and luggage needs.
| Option | How to check the price | Useful planning point |
|---|---|---|
| True North VIP car service | Enter the route and vehicle, then review the displayed price before sending a request. | Choose a vehicle class and arrange a pickup for the trip details you enter. |
| Yellow taxi | Check the TLC meter rules and charges that apply to the route. | The TLC sets a standard fare between Manhattan and JFK, with other charges listed separately. |
| Rideshare apps | Review the live estimate for the exact pickup, destination and time in the app. | Compare the shown vehicle and pickup details with your group and luggage. |
| Public transit | Check the current route, transfer and fare with the transit operator. | Compare station-to-station travel with the addresses and bags in your itinerary. |
The TLC lists a $3 initial charge for metered taxi trips, then $0.70 per one-fifth mile above 12 mph or per 60 seconds in slow or stopped traffic, plus a $0.50 MTA State Surcharge, a $1 Improvement Surcharge, a $2.50 weekday rush surcharge from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. (excluding holidays) and a $1 overnight surcharge from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Trips between Manhattan and JFK pay a set $70 fare instead of the meter, plus the $0.50 MTA State Surcharge, the $1 Improvement Surcharge and a $5 weekday rush surcharge from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. (excluding holidays). Congestion charges, tolls and tips can apply on top, and a $2 airport access fee applies to taxi pickups at JFK or LGA.
The TLC lists a $2.50 New York State congestion surcharge for qualifying yellow taxi trips that begin, end or pass through Manhattan south of 96th Street. The MTA's per-trip Congestion Relief Zone plan lists a $0.75 charge for eligible taxi and for-hire vehicle trips and $1.50 for high-volume for-hire vehicle trips under the enrolled-company plan. It applies to eligible trips to, from, within or through Manhattan south of and including 60th Street, and is separate from the state surcharge.
How does airport pickup work?
Each airport tells car services where to meet arriving passengers, so your pickup point depends on the airport and terminal. Without meet and greet, your chauffeur waits at that car service pickup point; the rules for JFK, LaGuardia and Newark are listed below.
Flight tracking is included, 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.
At JFK, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb at Terminals 1, 4 and 8, and Terminals 5 and 7 passengers take the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach car service lot. 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, Terminals A and B pickups are at the arrivals curbside. At Newark Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3. The $25 meet-and-greet add-on means the chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name sign and helps with luggage. A separate dedicated greeter is available for $150 and waits inside the terminal, useful during terminal construction or for VIP arrivals.
Include your airline, flight number, terminal, passenger count and bag count in the request. For a connection between airports, provide both airport names, terminals and the planned transfer time. True North VIP also meets 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 departure, add the pickup address, airport, terminal, flight time and preferred leave time. Choose the service based on whether you need a direct transfer, an hourly schedule or a ride between airports. Contact dispatch if you need help with the pickup instructions.
Which vehicle fits your passengers and luggage?
Choose among Executive Sedan, Luxury Sedan, Executive SUV, Luxury SUV, Executive Sprinter and Jet Sprinter by passenger and bag counts. Sedans seat up to 2 or 3, SUVs up to 6, Executive Sprinter 13 and Jet Sprinter 10. Sprinter prices are quoted on request.
Choose a vehicle by passenger capacity, then enter the number of bags because luggage space depends on the vehicle. True North VIP offers six classes:
| Vehicle class | Passenger capacity | Luggage guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan | Up to 2 | Enter your bag count to check space for your trip. |
| Luxury Sedan | Up to 3 | Enter your bag count to check space for your trip. |
| Executive SUV | Up to 6 | Enter your bag count to check space for your trip. |
| Luxury SUV | Up to 6 | Enter your bag count to check space for your trip. |
| Executive Sprinter | Up to 13 | Enter passenger and bag counts. |
| Jet Sprinter | Up to 10 | Enter passenger and bag counts. |
Example prices from our booking engine, October 2026. Taxes, tolls and fees included; gratuity optional. Your exact price is shown before you book.
Passenger capacity is one part of vehicle selection. A group with several large suitcases may need a different class than a group with the same number of people and smaller bags. Enter both the passenger and bag counts when you request the price so the selected class matches the trip. An Executive Sedan fits up to 2 passengers, a Luxury Sedan up to 3, and either SUV class up to 6. Groups above 6 can compare the Sprinter capacities shown in the table. Luggage space still depends on the selected vehicle.
Child seats cost $25 each and are available in SUVs and Sprinters. Add the child-seat request to your trip details and select an SUV or Sprinter. The six classes above are the available vehicle choices for this page.
When should you choose hourly chauffeur service?
Hourly service has a 3-hour minimum and suits an itinerary with several stops. A direct trip uses the pickup and destination you enter. Count passengers and bags before choosing the vehicle, and review the all in price and the existing trip details before booking.
Hourly chauffeur service fits a schedule with several stops or a vehicle needed for a set period. The hourly table above lists rates for four vehicle classes.
Use an hourly booking for a business day with meetings at more than one address, a day of appointments or event travel with separate pickup and drop-off points. Include the starting address, planned stops, passenger count, start time and expected end time in the request. A clear stop order helps you plan the entire day around the vehicle's time block. For example, list a morning office visit, an afternoon appointment and the final destination in travel order. That gives you a full-day schedule to compare with separate point-to-point requests.
For the dedicated service details, visit Hourly Car Service NYC. For one direct trip between two addresses, a point-to-point request may fit the schedule better. Compare the trip details and displayed price for the service type you want.
How do you plan NYC corporate car service and event transportation?
For NYC corporate car service or event travel, enter each address, pickup time, passenger count and the day's schedule in your request. A business itinerary may include an office, client meeting and return address; an event plan may include a hotel, venue and pickup after the event.
List each stop in the order you expect to travel, with the time you need to arrive or depart. For company travel, use Corporate Car Service NYC for account information. For concerts, games, weddings and other occasions, see Event Transportation NYC. An office itinerary can list the building address, meeting order and return point. An event itinerary can list the venue, arrival time and planned pickup after the event. Add a passenger and bag count for each group traveling together.
When several people share a ride, use the full passenger count and bag count to choose a class. When the plan includes separate arrival and return times, include both in the itinerary. If a venue or office has a specific pickup entrance, name it in the request so everyone has the same meeting point.
