UES Car Service: Precision Where It Matters

The Upper East Side is not one neighborhood — it is several overlapping worlds that each demand a different kind of car service. Museum Mile along Fifth Avenue (E 82nd to E 110th) draws tourists, donors, and families to the Met, the Guggenheim, the Neue Galerie, and a half-dozen other institutions. The York Avenue medical corridor — anchored by Memorial Sloan Kettering at 1275 York Avenue, Hospital for Special Surgery at 535 East 70th Street, and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell further south — generates thousands of patient transport trips every week. And the residential spine of Park Avenue and Madison Avenue co-ops produces steady demand for early-morning airport runs, evening event pickups, and corporate commutes.

True North VIP serves all of these realities with the same approach: vetted professional chauffeurs who know the specific loading zones, one-way patterns, and doorman protocols for each block. We stage at The Mark's Madison Avenue canopy, pull into MSK's York Avenue loop on the first pass, and wait curbside at HSS's East 70th Street discharge lane without blocking traffic. Flat-rate pricing means no meter anxiety during long medical waits, and 24/7 scheduling accommodates everything from 4:30 AM JFK departures to midnight returns from Lincoln Center.

For visitors staying at UES hotels, we provide seamless connections to JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark, plus hourly charters for gallery browsing and shopping on Madison Avenue. For residents, we offer standing schedules for weekly medical appointments, recurring airport runs, and school-year drop-off circuits.

Medical Appointment Transportation

The Upper East Side's York Avenue medical corridor is one of the densest concentrations of world-class hospitals anywhere. We provide dedicated patient transport with unlimited wait time, round-trip flat rates, and chauffeurs who know every hospital entrance.

How It Works

  1. Book a round trip — provide your home address, the hospital, and your appointment time.
  2. Chauffeur arrives early — at your building canopy or lobby 5 minutes before the requested time.
  3. Drop-off at the correct entrance — main lobby, outpatient, infusion center, or surgical intake.
  4. Unlimited wait — chauffeur stages in the hospital's designated area and monitors your texts.
  5. Pickup when you're ready — car arrives at the discharge/exit lane within minutes of your text.
