Why Princeton residents book dedicated car service
Princeton (population 30,681 per the 2020 census, median household income $184,113) is home to Princeton University (established 1746, 9,137 students on a 3,500-acre campus), the Institute for Advanced Study (where Albert Einstein worked 1933–1955), and Bristol-Myers Squibb's world headquarters. The downtown Palmer Square district anchors retail, dining, and cultural life — Nassau Street dates to the university's founding, and McCarter Theatre (Tony Award-winner, 200+ performances annually) draws audiences from across the region.
Two major highway corridors connect Princeton to everything that matters. Route 1 runs north–south through the city center, feeding north to the NJ Turnpike and Lincoln Tunnel for Manhattan (1.5–2 hours off-peak), or south toward Philadelphia. The NJ Turnpike itself runs east–west just minutes away, providing direct access to all three major New York area airports and Philadelphia International. Trenton-Mercer Airport sits 23 minutes away — the closest regional option. More than half of Princeton professionals work in New York or Philadelphia, making airport transfers and corporate commuting a daily need.
True North VIP covers all of Princeton — from downtown to Plainsboro and Lawrence Township — with airport transfers, hourly chauffeur bookings (3-hour minimum), and point-to-point rides. A flat $20 NJ surcharge is added at checkout. Book at truenorthvip.com/book or call +1-347-321-9929.
