Union County Car Service
Door-to-door chauffeur service across Summit, Westfield, Cranford, Elizabeth, and every Union County town — 15–25 minutes to EWR, with I-78 Holland Tunnel access to Manhattan.
Executive bedroom communities on the I-78 corridor
Union County stretches from the NJ Turnpike industrial corridor in Elizabeth and Linden — where the Bayway Refinery processes 230,000 barrels a day and The Mills at Jersey Gardens draws shoppers to 200+ outlet stores — through Rahway, where Merck operates its global headquarters with 6,000+ employees, and into the wealthy commuter suburbs of Cranford, Westfield, and Summit. Summit's median household income tops $199,000, and roughly one in five residents works in finance — making it a natural extension of Manhattan's financial sector, just 26 miles west via I-78.
The I-78 corridor is the spine of Union County transportation. Running east from the Watchung hills, it passes through Springfield, Union Township, and Hillside before crossing into Essex County and feeding directly into the Holland Tunnel for Lower Manhattan. Off-peak, Summit to the Holland Tunnel takes about 40 minutes. The Garden State Parkway crosses I-78 near Hillside and provides north-south connectivity to EWR (15–25 minutes from most towns) and the Lincoln Tunnel. Route 22, the county's other major east-west artery, parallels I-78 to the north and serves as the commercial corridor through Union, Springfield, and Mountainside.
True North VIP serves every Union County municipality with airport transfers to EWR, JFK, LGA, and TEB, plus hourly chauffeur bookings (3-hour minimum) and point-to-point rides. A flat $20 NJ surcharge applies to all Union County trips and is shown at checkout. Book at truenorthvip.com/book or call +1-347-321-9929.
