Manhasset Car Service: Where the Gold Coast Meets Modern Luxury
Manhasset sits on Long Island's North Shore, just 19.5 miles from Midtown Manhattan: the town seat of North Hempstead in Nassau County, and one of the most affluent hamlets in the New York metropolitan area. With a median household income above $180,000 and home values routinely exceeding $1.5 million, Manhasset residents expect transportation that matches their standard of living. 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. We provide professional chauffeur service tailored to the specific geography, institutions, and rhythms of Manhasset and its surrounding villages. We also serve the rest of Nassau County, from Garden City to Long Beach.
Our Manhasset coverage extends across the entire area, from the Americana Manhasset luxury shopping complex and Miracle Mile corridor along Northern Boulevard, to the waterfront estates of Plandome Manor overlooking Manhasset Bay, the Olmsted-designed streets of Munsey Park, and the corporate offices along the LIE corridor through North Hills. We also serve the Northwell Health campus anchored by North Shore University Hospital, one of the region's largest medical centers with over 800 beds and 7,000 staff. Whether you need an airport transfer, a point-to-point ride into Manhattan, or hourly chauffeur service for a day at Americana, our vetted chauffeurs know every road, driveway, and loading zone in the area.
Manhasset is part of Long Island's historic Gold Coast: the stretch of North Shore estates that inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald's East Egg and West Egg. Today that legacy continues through the community's country clubs, waterfront properties, and world-class shopping.

Gold Coast Luxury & Medical Campus Travel
Manhasset blends historic Gold Coast estates, world-class shopping, a major medical campus, and direct commuter rail to Manhattan. Our chauffeurs understand every facet of this unique community.
Americana Manhasset
220,000 square feet of open-air luxury retail: Hermes, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Cartier, Tiffany, and 50+ more. Designed by Peter Marino, transformed from a 1980s strip center into one of the East Coast's top shopping destinations. We coordinate with valet for door-to-door service.
Northwell Health Campus
North Shore University Hospital is Northwell Health's flagship: 806 beds, Level I Trauma Center, Zucker School of Medicine, and 7,000 staff. We provide patient discharge transport, visitor pickups, medical staff commutes, and connections to Lake Success corporate offices nearby.
Gold Coast Estate Events
Manhasset Bay separates the inspiration for Fitzgerald's West Egg (Great Neck) and East Egg (Sands Point). Former estates of Frank Munsey, Benjamin Duke, and Joseph P. Grace II set the stage for today's private events, weddings, and galas at waterfront venues and country clubs throughout the area. For a gala or wedding on the Gold Coast, guests can arrive by luxury car service in a chauffeured Luxury Sedan or Luxury SUV.
LIRR Commuter Alternative
The Port Washington Branch runs direct to Penn Station (28-37 min) and Grand Central Madison: no Jamaica transfer required. But for airport connections, group travel, or luggage-heavy trips, our door-to-door service eliminates the station-to-destination gap the LIRR cannot cover.
Corporate LIE Corridor
LIE Exits 33 through 36 anchor a corporate corridor connecting Manhasset to Manhattan. Pharmaceutical companies, financial firms, and healthcare enterprises along Northern Boulevard and Shelter Rock Road rely on professional car service for executive airport transfers and client meetings in the city.
Wedding & Event Transport
Strathmore Vanderbilt Country Club, North Shore waterfront venues, and private estate events: Manhasset is a popular wedding and celebration destination. We coordinate multi-vehicle arrivals, bridal party shuttles, and guest transportation from Manhattan hotels and airports.

4
Ride & Transfer

Transparent Policies
Airport Wait Time
We monitor your flight in real-time. 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, we adjust automatically.
Flight Tracking
Provide your flight number at booking and we handle the rest. Our system tracks arrivals from JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark and dispatches your chauffeur based on actual landing time, not the scheduled time.

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.
Child Seats
Child seats of every type (infant, convertible and booster) are $25 each in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans: up to 2 per direction in an SUV, more in a Sprinter, and in mini coaches and coaches after we discuss the trip. Select during booking and specify ages/weights. Seats arrive pre-installed and safety-checked by your chauffeur.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do pickups work at Americana Manhasset?
+
Americana Manhasset (2060 Northern Boulevard) has valet parking and a long open-air promenade with multiple entrance points along its 1,500-foot span. Your chauffeur can coordinate with Americana valet staff for a curbside pickup at the entrance nearest your last store, or meet you at the main valet circle near the Northern Boulevard side. Provide your approximate exit time and preferred store location when booking so we can position your vehicle. For extended shopping days, consider our hourly chauffeur service with a three-hour minimum.
Can you handle hospital transfers to and from Northwell Health / North Shore University Hospital?
+
Yes. We pick up and drop off at North Shore University Hospital (300 Community Drive), and we handle patient discharges, visitor transportation, and staff commutes. For patient discharges, your chauffeur will wait at the main entrance circle on Community Drive. Provide your expected discharge time and any mobility notes at booking. We also serve the broader Northwell Health campus and Lake Success corporate offices nearby.
How long does it take to get from Manhasset to LaGuardia vs JFK?
+
LaGuardia is the closest airport to Manhasset at roughly 11 miles, taking 20-30 minutes in normal traffic via the Long Island Expressway or Northern Boulevard to the Grand Central Parkway. JFK is about 16 miles and takes 28-35 minutes via the LIE to the Van Wyck Expressway. For domestic flights, LaGuardia is typically the faster option. For international flights, JFK is your only choice from Manhasset. Both transfers include a distance-based, all-in price shown before you book and real-time flight monitoring.
How does your service compare to taking the LIRR Port Washington Branch?
+
The LIRR Port Washington Branch runs from Manhasset station (on Plandome Road) to Penn Station in 28-37 minutes, with off-peak trains every 30 minutes. It also connects to Grand Central Madison. The train is excellent for solo commuters, but our point-to-point service offers door-to-door convenience, handles luggage, and eliminates the walk or taxi on the Manhattan end. For airport trips, client meetings, or group travel, a private car from Manhasset is significantly more practical than the LIRR-to-taxi combination.
Do you serve the Plandome villages and estate areas?
+
Yes, we cover Plandome, Plandome Manor, and Plandome Heights: the three residential villages along Manhasset Bay. These neighborhoods have narrow, winding roads and many gated or circular driveways. Our chauffeurs are familiar with the area and will pull directly into your driveway for pickup. For waterfront estate events in Plandome Manor or Plandome Heights, we can coordinate multi-vehicle arrivals for guests traveling from Manhattan, the airports, or other Long Island locations.
Can you arrange corporate transfers from North Hills and the LIE corridor?
+
Yes. North Hills and the surrounding LIE corridor (Exits 33-36) include corporate offices, the Deepdale area, and quick highway access to Manhattan. We provide corporate car service for executives commuting from North Hills offices to Midtown, airport transfers from corporate campuses, and multi-stop itineraries connecting the LIE corridor to Manhattan meetings. Corporate accounts include invoicing, booking for others and recurring rides.
How do Miracle Mile shopping trips work with your service?
+
The Miracle Mile along Northern Boulevard features Americana Manhasset and surrounding retail. For a full shopping day, our hourly chauffeur service keeps your vehicle and chauffeur available while you browse multiple stores. Your chauffeur can hold shopping bags in the vehicle between stops, reposition along the mile as needed, and drive you home or to dinner when finished. Three-hour minimum applies, and we can include restaurant stops at nearby dining spots along Northern Boulevard.
Are child seats available for Manhasset pickups?
+
Yes. Child seats of every type (infant, convertible and booster) are $25 each in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans: up to 2 per direction in an SUV, more in a Sprinter, and in mini coaches and coaches after we discuss the trip. Select child seat options during booking and specify the number and type needed. Your chauffeur arrives with seats pre-installed and safety-checked.
Do you offer corporate accounts for Manhasset-area businesses?
+
Yes. Our corporate car service supports businesses throughout Manhasset, North Hills, and the Northwell Health campus. Accounts include invoicing, booking for others, recurring rides and a receipt for every trip, and one account can cover several travelers. That suits medical professionals, corporate executives, and firms along the LIE and Northern Boulevard corridors.
Is late-night service available from Manhasset?
+
True North VIP operates 24/7 including late-night and early-morning Manhasset service. We handle red-eye airport departures (3-4 AM pickups for early JFK and LaGuardia flights), late returns from Manhattan dinners and events, hospital shift changes at North Shore University Hospital, and after-hours corporate pickups.
Do you provide wedding transportation at Manhasset country clubs and estates?
+
Yes. We provide wedding transportation for ceremonies and receptions at Strathmore Vanderbilt Country Club (260 Country Club Drive), North Shore estates, and waterfront venues along Manhasset Bay. Services include bride and groom transfers, wedding party shuttles, and guest transportation from Manhattan hotels or airports. We coordinate arrival timing with your event planner and can arrange multiple vehicles for larger wedding parties.
How far in advance should I book Manhasset car service?
+
We recommend booking 24 to 48 hours in advance for the best availability. Same-day Manhasset service is often available, though peak demand can limit it, especially during holiday shopping season at Americana Manhasset, major events at North Shore venues, and heavy airport travel periods. For recurring corporate service or wedding transportation, book as early as possible to secure your preferred vehicle.
