Long Island City Car Service

Long Island City sits near several airport and Manhattan destinations, but a drive begins at a specific address and terminal. The route figures below use Court Square subway station as the origin and show distances and drive times from Google Maps on Oct 27, 2026; enter your own building entrance and date when requesting service.

Google Maps showed these route distances and drive times on Oct 27, 2026; traffic and your exact address can change the trip time.

True North VIP provides Long Island City car service for airport transfers, local appointments, Manhattan meetings and hourly plans. Court Square, Queens Plaza and Hunters Point each have different entrances and loading conditions, so use a street address and building entrance instead of a neighborhood name alone.

Long Island City Car Service use case

Reserve a point-to-point ride for one destination or hourly service for waiting and stops. Trips can start at a hotel, office, apartment or ferry connection. Our Queens car service page covers the wider borough.

Quote factors

Your distance-based price reflects route, date, vehicle, hours, stops and extras. Taxes, tolls and fees are included, with gratuity optional.

Vehicle class decision

Enter passengers, bags and child-seat requests before choosing a vehicle. Include suitcases, strollers and other large items because passenger capacity does not describe luggage space.

Details to check on your reservation

Review the pickup entrance, date, time, destination, vehicle, passenger and bag counts, stops and extras. For airport trips, add the airline, flight number and terminal.

What the quote should clarify

The trip details should show a one-way transfer, return, hourly service or stops. Keep the passenger's reachable phone number with the booking contact when someone else arranges the ride.

Choose a direct ride for one destination, hourly service for several stops, or airport pickup with flight details and a meeting point. See LIC routes and broader airport car service in New York City. Use airport pages to check terminal details and pickup steps for your trip.

Point-to-point or hourly

Use a direct transfer for one pickup and drop-off. Hourly service has a 3-hour minimum for stops or waiting between appointments; list stops and planned wait when booking.

Plan the airport route

For an airport trip, enter the airline terminal and LIC pickup entrance. See LIC to LGA car service, LGA car service, JFK car service or Newark airport car service.

Use the right pickup address

A hotel name can cover multiple vehicle entrances. Enter the numbered address and lobby, driveway or loading entrance. For a waterfront pickup, specify the building rather than the park promenade.

For a Long Island City pickup, provide the exact entrance and coordinate the ride around the destination, airport terminal or ferry arrival. Court Square, Queens Plaza and Hunters Point are distinct starting points; Google Maps figures from Court Square, checked Oct 27, 2026, can help with planning, but use your own address.

LIC hotels to the airports

Book the airport that matches your ticket: LaGuardia, JFK or Newark. The table lists Google Maps distances and drive times from Court Square to LGA Terminal B, JFK Terminal 4 and Newark Terminal C, checked Oct 27, 2026. Use the current terminal in your reservation, and enter the hotel entrance and pickup time for your own trip. From an LIC hotel, a black car to the airport can be booked for LaGuardia, JFK or Newark.

Manhattan business visits

For Manhattan, enter the office address and arrival entrance. Google Maps showed 2.5 miles and 11 minutes from Court Square to Grand Central via I-495 West on Oct 27, 2026; traffic can change drive time. Choose hourly service for meetings with waiting between stops. For a single meeting, book a chauffeur to the office and a separate ride back.

Hunters Point South connections

Hunters Point South is an East River ferry landing. Check the current NYC Ferry schedule, then set a nearby street address or vehicle-accessible building entrance as the car pickup. The waterfront promenade and ferry landing are useful landmarks, not a designated car-loading location.

The example fares below use one passenger and no bags, and compare the four sedan and SUV classes across local and airport routes. Your trip price is distance-based, includes taxes, tolls and fees, and shows before you book; gratuity is optional. Sprinter pricing is quoted on request.

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

Hourly service has a 3-hour minimum: $110 per hour for an Executive Sedan, $130 for an Executive SUV, $150 for a Luxury SUV and $180 for a Luxury Sedan. Minimum fares in that order are $135, $155, $185 and $235. Sprinters are quoted on request.

Choose a vehicle by passenger count, luggage and trip type. True North VIP offers sedan, SUV and Sprinter classes for Long Island City pickups; enter the full bag count because the passenger limit alone does not establish how much luggage fits.

Sedan

An Executive Sedan seats up to 2 and a Luxury Sedan up to 3. Include the bag count for an airport trip.

SUV

Both SUV classes seat up to 6. Child seats cost $25 each in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans; include the request when booking.

Sprinter

The Executive Sprinter seats up to 13 and the Jet Sprinter up to 10. Sprinters are quoted on request; provide passengers, bags and stops.

A clear Long Island City reservation starts with the full itinerary, then the traveler or arranger reviews the vehicle and meeting details before the ride. Book online at any time or call 888-887-0324, which is answered 24/7, when a complex route needs help.

1. Enter the itinerary. Add the LIC pickup address and entrance, destination, date, pickup time, passengers, luggage and any stops or extras.
2. Review the ride details. Check the vehicle class, route price, trip type and pickup plan. Add a return as its own ride or select hourly service for multiple stops.
3. Coordinate the meeting point. For airport arrivals, use the terminal and flight information in your booking. Keep the passenger reachable at the number provided.

For airport arrivals, flight tracking is included, with a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing. Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. A private LIC-to-airport trip uses the airport's drop-off terminal; an arriving passenger uses the airport's pickup instructions.

Airport arrivals without meet and greet use the arrivals curb, except where the airport sets another car service pickup point. At JFK, Terminal 5 and Terminal 7 car service passengers take the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach car service lot. 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. The $25 meet-and-greet add-on includes an inside-terminal meeting, name sign and luggage help; a dedicated greeter is $150.

Before booking, match your pickup time, return plan and optional extras to the real schedule. A road estimate covers only the mapped drive; allow separate time for check-in, a meeting, a ferry connection or venue entry. Call 888-887-0324 for dispatch support at any hour.

Set a practical pickup time

Use your flight departure, airport check-in plan and the route from your exact LIC address to choose a pickup time. Traffic, weather and a changed road route affect drive times, so leave your own schedule buffer.

Your return is its own leg

Enter the return date, pickup address and time separately. For an airport arrival, include the flight number and terminal; for a later meeting, give its address and pickup time.

Optional extras and special requirements

Request child seats for $25 each; they go in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans. The $25 meet-and-greet add-on provides an inside-terminal meeting, name sign and luggage help; a separate dedicated greeter is $150.

Corporate and arranger contacts

An assistant can enter the passenger's name, phone, pickup entrance and itinerary. Company invoicing is available on approved corporate accounts.

Long Island City is a Queens neighborhood, not the same geographic area as Nassau or Suffolk County. True North VIP serves both Queens and Long Island, but this page focuses on local LIC pickups around Court Square, Queens Plaza, Hunters Point and nearby airport connections.

MoMA PS1 is at 22-25 Jackson Avenue and does not accept luggage or carry-ons or provide on-site storage. Plan where airport bags will go before adding the museum as a stop.

Gantry Plaza State Park is a Hunters Point landmark. Use a street address and vehicle-accessible curb or building entrance for pickup, not the promenade. At Hunters Point South, check the East River ferry schedule and set a land-side meeting point.
