Tri-State Car Service: America's Largest Metro, One Chauffeur
The NYC tri-state area (spanning New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) is home to over 20 million people across 27 counties, generating a GDP of roughly $1.9 trillion that would rank as the world's 10th-largest economy. Every weekday, 1.6 million people commute into Manhattan from suburbs in three states, crossing some of the most congested infrastructure in North America: the George Washington Bridge (282,000 vehicles daily, the busiest motor vehicle bridge in the world), three Hudson River tunnels, and the notorious Cross Bronx Expressway.
Navigating this region requires more than GPS. The Merritt Parkway bans all commercial vehicles including Sprinter vans. The Holland Tunnel has a 12'6" height clearance: lower than the Lincoln Tunnel's 13 feet. The Cross Bronx Expressway regularly turns 5 miles into a 45-minute crawl. And choosing between the GWB, Lincoln Tunnel, or Holland Tunnel for a New Jersey trip depends on your exact Manhattan origin, NJ destination, time of day, and vehicle type. Our chauffeurs know all of it.
Whether you need an airport transfer from Greenwich to JFK, an hourly chauffeur for a day of meetings spanning Stamford, White Plains, and Midtown, corporate transportation along the I-287 pharmaceutical corridor, or a reliable pickup from MetLife Stadium after a Giants game, True North VIP provides vetted chauffeurs, upfront pricing, and routing expertise that covers every corner of three states. True North VIP is a chauffeured car service based in New York City, serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey and Connecticut. For every town we cover, see our areas we serve page.

Cross-State Routing Intelligence
The tri-state area has more crossing options, vehicle restrictions, and traffic variables than any other metro in America. Here is what our chauffeurs know that GPS does not.
GWB, Lincoln Tunnel or Holland Tunnel
The George Washington Bridge (282,000 vehicles/day) connects to Bergen County and northern NJ via I-80/I-95. The Lincoln Tunnel (170,000 vehicles/day, three tubes) serves Midtown-to-Hudson County and the Meadowlands. The Holland Tunnel (85,000 vehicles/day) connects Lower Manhattan to Jersey City and EWR. Your chauffeur checks all three crossings and selects based on your origin, destination, and real-time delays, often switching mid-route.
Merritt Parkway Restrictions
The Merritt Parkway (38 miles, Greenwich to Milford) bans all commercial vehicles, including Sprinter vans. The same restriction applies to every parkway in the system: Hutchinson River, Saw Mill River, Henry Hudson, Palisades Interstate, and Long Island's Northern/Southern State. Sprinter groups heading to Connecticut must use I-95 exclusively. Sedans and SUVs benefit from the Merritt's truck-free lanes, often saving 10-15 minutes over I-95.
Corporate Campus Shuttles
Manhattan to IBM Armonk: 40 mi, 60-90 min via FDR to Hutch to I-684. Manhattan to PepsiCo/Mastercard Purchase: 30 mi, 50-75 min. Manhattan to Regeneron Tarrytown: 27 mi, 45-70 min via Henry Hudson/Saw Mill. Manhattan to Verizon Basking Ridge: 42 mi, 65-95 min via Holland Tunnel to I-78 to I-287. With door-to-door chauffeur service, each campus visit runs from your Manhattan address to the entrance you name. Book by the hour and your chauffeur waits at each campus for the return trip.
Cross Bronx Bypass
The Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95, 180,000+ vehicles/day) is the primary bottleneck connecting NJ to Connecticut via the GWB. When it congests, which is most of the day during weekdays, our chauffeurs use the Deegan Expressway (I-87) to the RFK Bridge as an alternative, or the Hutchinson River Parkway bypass for sedan/SUV Connecticut-bound trips. Surface routes through Pelham can also save 15-20 minutes when the highway is gridlocked.
Event Venue Logistics
MetLife Stadium (82,500 capacity) clears in 2-3 hours post-event. MSG (20,789) gridlocks 7th and 8th Avenue: use 31st/33rd St side streets. Barclays Center (19,000) congests Atlantic and Flatbush, so we stage on Dean St. Prudential Center in Newark (19,500) is adjacent to Newark Penn Station. USTA/US Open causes Grand Central Parkway gridlock for two weeks in September. We pre-stage at all venues.
Toll & Crossing Costs
The route may use Port Authority crossings (the GWB, Lincoln Tunnel or Holland Tunnel), MTA crossings (Throgs Neck, Whitestone or RFK Bridge), or the Mario Cuomo Bridge between Westchester and Rockland. The Port Authority charges $16.79 with E-ZPass at peak times and $14.79 off-peak on its Hudson crossings, collected only entering New York, and the New York State Thruway Authority charges $7.25 with NY E-ZPass on the Cuomo Bridge, Westchester-bound only. Applicable tolls are included in your price, which is shown before you book.
How It Works
Four steps from booking to arrival. The entire process takes under two minutes online: regardless of which state you are in.
1
Reserve Online
Enter your tri-state pickup address: whether it is a Greenwich estate, a Parsippany corporate campus, or a Manhattan hotel. Select your vehicle (sedan, SUV, or Sprinter) and see your distance-based, all-in price, with all tolls and fees included, before you book.
2
Add Details
Include flight numbers for airport transfers, train arrival times for station pickups, event end times for venue pickups, or multi-stop itineraries for hourly bookings. Specify vehicle restrictions if your route involves parkways (Merritt, Hutchinson, Saw Mill).
3

4
Cross-State Transfer
Your chauffeur navigates the optimal crossing (GWB, Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, Throgs Neck Bridge or Mario Cuomo Bridge) using real-time traffic data. Parkway restrictions, toll lanes, and alternate routes are handled automatically. Luggage assistance included at all stops.
Transparent Policies
Airport Wait Time
We monitor your flight in real-time across all five airports. Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. 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. If your flight is delayed or diverted, we adjust automatically: whether you are landing at JFK, Newark, LaGuardia, HPN, or Teterboro.
Cross-State Pricing
All quotes include tolls for bridges, tunnels, and turnpikes. Your quoted transportation price includes the applicable route costs. Connecticut and Westchester trips use toll-free parkways or include applicable tolls in the quote. No surprise charges: your exact price is shown before you book.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation eligibility follows the policy accepted with your reservation. Review the current Cancellation Policy before booking and contact us by phone or email to request a cancellation or change.
Vehicle Restrictions
When booking a Sprinter van for Connecticut or Westchester destinations, your chauffeur automatically routes via I-95 (avoiding banned parkways). Sedans and SUVs have no restrictions and can use the faster Merritt/Hutchinson routing. Vehicle selection guidance is provided during the booking process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Hudson River crossing is best for getting to New Jersey?
+
It depends on your Manhattan origin and NJ destination. The George Washington Bridge (I-95/I-80) connects Washington Heights to Fort Lee and is best for Bergen County, Rockland County, and northern NJ destinations like Parsippany or Morristown. The Lincoln Tunnel (three tubes, 39th-42nd St to Weehawken) is best for Midtown departures heading to Hudson County, MetLife Stadium, or the NJ Turnpike. The Holland Tunnel (Canal St to Jersey City) is best for Lower Manhattan departures heading to Jersey City, Newark, or EWR. The Port Authority charges $16.79 with E-ZPass at peak times ($14.79 off-peak) on all three, collected only entering New York, and tolls are included in your price. Your chauffeur selects the optimal crossing in real time based on traffic conditions.
Can Sprinter vans use the Merritt Parkway to reach Connecticut?
+
No. The Merritt Parkway (CT Route 15) bans all commercial vehicles, including Sprinter vans, which are classified as commercial vehicles regardless of passenger configuration. This restriction also applies to the Hutchinson River Parkway, Saw Mill River Parkway, Henry Hudson Parkway, and Palisades Interstate Parkway. For Sprinter service to Greenwich or Stamford, your chauffeur takes I-95 exclusively. Sedans and standard SUVs can use the Merritt, which is often 10-15 minutes faster than I-95 due to the truck ban.
What is the best route from Greenwich to JFK Airport?
+
Greenwich to JFK is approximately 50 miles with a drive time of 70-100 minutes depending on traffic. The standard route is I-95 South through the Bronx to the Cross Bronx Expressway, then the Bruckner Interchange to the Whitestone or Throgs Neck Bridge, connecting to the Cross Island Parkway and Belt Parkway into JFK. An alternative during Cross Bronx congestion is the Hutchinson River Parkway (no Sprinter vans) to the Cross Island Parkway. For international flights, allow at least 3 hours total from Greenwich departure to gate time.
How long does it take to get from Manhattan to Westchester County?
+
Drive times from Midtown Manhattan to Westchester vary by destination. Lower Westchester (Yonkers, Bronxville, Scarsdale) is 15-22 miles and reachable in 25-55 minutes. Central Westchester (White Plains, Tarrytown, Dobbs Ferry) is 21-28 miles and takes 35-70 minutes. Northern Westchester (Armonk, Chappaqua, Mount Kisco) is 35-45 miles and requires 60-100 minutes. Route selection matters: the Saw Mill River Parkway and Henry Hudson Parkway serve central Westchester, the Hutchinson River Parkway serves eastern Westchester, and I-87 (Major Deegan) serves the Hudson River corridor.
Do you provide service to Teterboro Airport for private aviation?
+
Yes. Teterboro Airport (TEB) in Bergen County is the busiest general aviation airport in North America with over 170,000 operations annually. We handle FBO pickups and drop-offs at Signature Flight Support, Atlantic Aviation, and Meridian Teterboro. From Midtown Manhattan, Teterboro is 12 miles and reachable in 20-35 minutes via the George Washington Bridge or Lincoln Tunnel. We monitor inbound flight tracking for private charter arrivals, and your chauffeur meets you in the FBO lobby, or planeside when the FBO allows it. We meet arriving private flights at JFK, Newark, Teterboro (TEB), Westchester (HPN), Republic (FRG), Long Island MacArthur (ISP), Morristown (MMU), East Hampton (HTO), Gabreski in Westhampton Beach (FOK) and Trenton-Mercer (TTN).
What airports do you serve across the tri-state area?
+
We serve five main airports: JFK (62M passengers annually), LaGuardia (32M passengers), Newark Liberty (46M passengers), Westchester County Airport (HPN, 2M passengers plus significant private aviation), and Teterboro (TEB, private aviation only). We also serve Stewart International (SWF) in Orange County and MacArthur Airport (ISP) on Long Island for domestic carriers like Allegiant and Breeze. Every airport transfer includes real-time flight monitoring, automatic delay adjustments, and a distance-based, all-in price shown before you book.
How do you handle MetLife Stadium event pickups?
+
MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ holds 82,500 and hosts the NY Giants, NY Jets, and major concerts. Post-event traffic is notorious: 2 to 3 hours to clear the parking area via Route 3 and the NJ Turnpike Western Spur. We stage your vehicle at a pre-arranged location away from the main lots and send you a text with the exact pickup pin before the event ends. For concerts and Giants/Jets games, we recommend booking a pickup 15-20 minutes before the expected end time.
What is the NJ surcharge on cross-state trips?
+
Prices are distance-based and all-in: taxes, tolls and fees are included, gratuity is optional, and your exact price is shown before you book. Hudson River crossing tolls are collected only entering New York, and any tolls on your route are already in the price. Existing reservations keep their accepted fare.
Can I book an hourly chauffeur for meetings across multiple states?
+
Yes. Our hourly chauffeur service is ideal for executives with meetings spanning the tri-state area: for example, a morning meeting in Stamford, lunch in White Plains, and an afternoon session in Midtown Manhattan. The 3-hour minimum applies, and your chauffeur waits at each location. This is significantly more efficient than booking separate point-to-point rides when you have multiple stops. Cross-state tolls are included.
How does the Cross Bronx Expressway affect tri-state travel?
+
The Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95 through the Bronx) carries 180,000-200,000 vehicles daily and is the single biggest bottleneck for tri-state travel. It connects the George Washington Bridge to the Bruckner Interchange, Throgs Neck Bridge, and I-95 north toward Connecticut. During peak hours (7-10am, 4-7pm), 5 miles of Cross Bronx can take 30-45 minutes. Our chauffeurs use alternatives when possible: the Deegan Expressway (I-87) to the RFK Bridge, the Hutchinson River Parkway bypass (no Sprinter vans), or surface streets through Pelham for Connecticut-bound trips.
Do you offer corporate accounts for tri-state businesses?
+
Yes. Our corporate car service is designed for companies with regular cross-state transportation needs, from hedge funds along the Greenwich-Stamford corridor and pharmaceutical companies on the I-287 corridor (Parsippany, Bridgewater, Basking Ridge) to financial services firms in Jersey City and Midtown. Corporate accounts include invoicing and account management.
What is the Holland Tunnel height restriction?
+
The Holland Tunnel has a maximum clearance of 12 feet 6 inches: lower than both the Lincoln Tunnel (13 feet) and the George Washington Bridge lower deck (13 feet). Standard sedans and SUVs clear with room to spare. Sprinter vans (standard height around 9 feet 4 inches) also clear safely. However, any vehicle with roof-mounted cargo or modified height should verify clearance. Your chauffeur selects the appropriate crossing based on vehicle type and destination.
