Today, that tradition continues with modern luxury sedans — Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Lincoln Continental — dispatched from a TLC-licensed base with vetted chauffeurs, flat-rate pricing, and 24/7 availability.

For three decades, the Lincoln Town Car was the backbone of New York City's professional car service industry. From the 1980s through the early 2010s, a fleet of tens of thousands of black Town Cars moved executives, diplomats, and discerning travelers across Manhattan and to the airports. The vehicle became so synonymous with the service that "town car" became the generic term for any pre-arranged sedan ride in New York — the way "Kleenex" means tissue or "Xerox" means photocopy.
Lincoln discontinued the Town Car in 2011, but the service model it defined endures. Today, True North VIP operates the same pre-arranged, black car service model with modern luxury sedans — Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Lincoln Continental. The principles remain identical: TLC-licensed vehicles, professionally trained chauffeurs, upfront pricing, and reliable dispatch from a licensed livery base. What has changed is the vehicle quality, the technology (real-time tracking, online booking, flight monitoring), and the breadth of the fleet.
Whether you call it a town car, a chauffeur service, or a car service, the fundamental value proposition is the same: a professional driver in a maintained sedan, dispatched to your exact location, at a price you know before you step inside. No street-hailing, no surge pricing, no navigating an app while standing on a curb. True North VIP brings that tradition into 2026 with online booking, corporate accounts, and a fleet built for comfort and reliability.
Understanding the distinction between town car service, taxis, and rideshare — and why it matters for professional transportation in New York City.
The Lincoln Town Car set the standard. These vehicles carry it forward — with better ride quality, more interior space, and technology the original never had.

New York City has unique regulations, traffic patterns, and logistics that make professional town car service fundamentally different from anywhere else.
The NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission has regulated professional car service since 1971. Every vehicle in our fleet carries a TLC license plate, undergoes regular safety inspections, and is dispatched from a licensed livery base. Every chauffeur holds an active TLC hack license with drug testing, background checks, and defensive driving certification. This regulatory framework is what separates legitimate town car service from unregulated operators.
New York law draws a clear line: yellow taxis can be street-hailed, but town cars and livery vehicles must be pre-arranged through a licensed base. This is not a limitation — it is the feature. Pre-arrangement means your car is confirmed, your price is locked, and your chauffeur is assigned before you step outside. There is no standing on a corner hoping for availability and no price surprise at your destination.
Our chauffeurs use real-time traffic data combined with decades of collective street knowledge. Avenue one-way patterns, crosstown routing through side streets, FDR Drive access points, tunnel and bridge approaches — these micro-decisions determine whether your ride takes 25 minutes or 55. Professional chauffeurs who drive these routes daily outperform any algorithm running on a phone screen.
Manhattan's congestion pricing zone covers streets below 60th Street. Any applicable congestion surcharges are included in your flat-rate quote — you will not see an unexpected charge after your ride. Our pricing engine accounts for tolls, surcharges, and applicable taxes at the time of booking so the price you see is the price you pay.
Your quote is locked at booking. No surge during rush hour, bad weather, holidays, or high-demand events. The price includes tolls, applicable taxes, and congestion surcharges. The price you see is the price you pay.
Provide your flight number at booking. Our system tracks arrivals in real time and dispatches your chauffeur based on actual landing time — no charge for delays of any length. Meet-and-greet at baggage claim available.
Cancel or modify up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup at no charge. Cancellations within 24 hours may incur a partial charge. No-shows are charged the full fare.
Rear-facing infant, forward-facing toddler, and booster seats available for $25 each. Select during booking and specify child ages. Seats arrive pre-installed and safety-checked by the chauffeur. Learn more about our family car service.
In a city with taxis on every corner and rideshare apps on every phone, town car service exists because some situations demand more than on-demand convenience.
A client arriving in a maintained black sedan with a suited chauffeur holding the door makes a different impression than stepping out of a random hatchback. For investor meetings, board presentations, and client entertainment, the vehicle is part of the message.
Rideshare availability drops during rain, shift changes, and high-demand events. Surge pricing spikes when you need a car most. A reserved town car is confirmed and priced at booking — weather, demand, and events do not change your availability or your rate.
Same fleet, same standards, same service every time. No wondering whether your driver speaks English, knows the route, or drives a clean vehicle. Corporate accounts can request the same chauffeur for recurring rides, building a working relationship that improves over time.
Every ride is logged, every chauffeur is identified, and every vehicle is tracked. If something goes wrong, you call a real dispatch office with real people — not a chatbot. Corporate accounts receive monthly reports. This level of accountability is the core difference between a licensed town car base and an app-mediated marketplace.
