Upper East Side Car Service

True North VIP provides airport, museum, hospital, hotel, office and home trips across the Upper East Side. Choose a point-to-point ride for one destination or hourly service for several stops. For travel across the borough, explore our Manhattan car service page.

Start with the destination, pickup time, passenger count and bags. Add each planned stop in travel order, then choose a vehicle class and meeting point. The route table below gives five named UES airport trips with prices, while the sections that follow cover museums, hospitals and return rides.

Upper East Side Car Service use case

For an airport ride, enter the pickup address and terminal. For an appointment, include the specific building or department and arrival time. For a museum visit, choose a direct ride, a separate return trip or hourly service for several stops.

Quote factors

True North VIP pricing is distance-based. Route, date, vehicle, stops and requested options affect the total.

Vehicle class decision

Count passengers and bags together when you choose a class. Passenger capacity and luggage space are different, so include the bag count with the trip details. Sprinters require a quote with the full route and luggage information.

Operational proof

Before sending your request, review the pickup and destination addresses, date, time, vehicle class, stops and requested options. Update any address or pickup detail that changes so the chauffeur has the right instructions.

What the quote should clarify

Include the building entrance and cross street, airport and terminal or venue, passenger and bag counts, requested vehicle, and any stops or child seats. Select one-way, return, hourly or multi-stop service to match the trip.

Airport route examples

The examples below pair named Upper East Side origins with airport terminals. Compare Upper East Side to JFK car service and Upper East Side to LaGuardia car service for those airport legs. For broader airport planning, see NYC airport car service.

Example prices from our booking engine, October 2026. Taxes, tolls and fees included; gratuity optional. Your exact price is shown before you book.

Give the chauffeur the official destination address, relevant entrance and time you will be ready. Museum and hospital curbs follow posted loading rules, so choose a usable passenger pickup point. Book a return leg separately with its address and time, especially when your visit may finish later. For a museum evening or dinner out, request a luxury car for the evening, in the Luxury Sedan or Luxury SUV class.

Museum Mile outings

Use each museum's official visitor address and select a permitted passenger-loading point nearby. Have your party ready before the chauffeur arrives; NYC DOT distinguishes active loading from waiting. The addresses below identify the destination for your Museum Mile trip.

NYC DOT allows active passenger loading where signs permit it. No-standing signs prohibit waiting, and no-stopping signs prohibit passenger loading. Choose a legal curb location and have the passenger ready.

Family airport departures

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 Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3. At Newark Terminals A and B, use the arrivals curb assigned to prearranged cars. At JFK Terminals 5 and 7, take the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach car service lot, where your chauffeur meets you. Airline flight tracking is included; add the airline and flight number when you request the ride.

Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. Airport arrivals have a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing. Add the $25 meet and greet for an inside-terminal meeting with a name sign and luggage help. A dedicated greeter costs $150.

Appointments and private schedules

Use the building or department listed for the appointment and follow posted loading signs. For several appointments in one day, reserve a private driver in NYC for the whole schedule. The official addresses below distinguish entrances and campuses, including facilities with separate inpatient, outpatient and pediatric locations.

Your return is its own leg

Enter the return address and pickup time as a separate leg. For an appointment or event with a variable finish, choose hourly service or call 888-887-0324 to discuss a schedule change. Ask about extra time when you book.

Set your departure from the exact pickup address and your airport terminal or appointment entrance. Check current road conditions and leave time for traffic, airport procedures and appointment check-in. For terminal pickup details, read JFK car service information and follow the airport's current instructions.

Timing and traffic

The Met drive references are single Google Maps leave-now observations checked October 28, 2026, not typical trip times. Check live conditions before leaving.

Optional extras and special requirements

Child seats cost $25 each in Executive SUVs, Luxury SUVs, Executive Sprinters and Jet Sprinters; sedans do not take child seats. Request them with the child's details and vehicle choice. Hourly service has a 3-hour minimum: Executive Sedan $110 per hour, Executive SUV $130, Luxury SUV $150 and Luxury Sedan $180. See hourly chauffeur service in NYC and the child seat policy.

Corporate and arranger contacts

An assistant or family member can arrange the ride. Include the passenger's name and reachable phone number so the chauffeur can coordinate pickup. Call 888-887-0324 for help with trip details.

Choose among six chauffeured classes: Executive Sedan, Luxury Sedan, Executive SUV, Luxury SUV, Executive Sprinter and Jet Sprinter. The table gives passenger limits for each class. Include the full bag count when you request a ride, then choose the vehicle that fits the party and luggage.

Sedan

Choose an Executive or Luxury Sedan when that class fits the passengers and luggage. List the bags with the passenger count when requesting the ride.

SUV

Choose an Executive or Luxury SUV based on the passenger and luggage count. Include any child seats in your request.

Sprinter

Request a Sprinter with the full route and luggage count. Executive Sprinters carry up to 13 passengers; Jet Sprinters carry up to 10. Sprinter fares are quoted on request.

A complete ride request gives your chauffeur one clear plan from pickup through arrival. Choose a local pickup point or airport meeting option, then review the route details and price before you submit. The steps below cover address entry, trip review and where to meet.

Enter the full itinerary

Add the pickup, destination, date, time, travelers, bags and requested options. For multiple stops, enter every address in travel order so the route includes the full day.

Review your options

Check the vehicle class, route, stops and requested options before sending the ride request. The price and trip details appear for review before you book.

Choose where to meet

For a building pickup, give the entrance and cross street. At museums and hospitals, use a permitted passenger-loading point. At airports, use the airport's assigned car service pickup point or request the inside-terminal meet and greet.

When a relative or assistant arranges the ride, include the passenger's name and reachable phone number so the chauffeur can coordinate pickup. A hotel or apartment doorman does not place the request for you. Use contact information for help with a trip detail.

Most Upper East Side addresses north of 60th Street are outside the Congestion Relief Zone. A trip that enters the zone is assessed by its route. The rates below distinguish eligible black-car trips, high-volume for-hire vehicles and New York State-only travel through Manhattan.

The MTA's per-trip charge is $0.75 for eligible black-car or taxi trips and $1.50 for high-volume for-hire vehicles. The $2.75 New York congestion surcharge applies to black-car trips wholly within New York State through Manhattan south of 96th Street, not trips to or from New Jersey. Tolls at the Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel and George Washington Bridge are collected only in the New York-bound direction, and any toll on your route is included in the all-in price.
