Car Service in Astoria
Astoria sits in the northwest corner of Queens, on the East River across from the Upper East Side. Ditmars Boulevard, 30th Avenue and Steinway Street are full of restaurants and cafes. Astoria Park runs along the water under the Hell Gate and RFK Bridges, and Kaufman Astoria Studios keeps crews and talent coming through.
Most of Astoria is low houses and apartment buildings on short blocks, many with alternate-side parking and double-parked cars. We send a TLC-licensed, background-checked chauffeur who knows the area and the fastest way onto the Grand Central Parkway. The price on your confirmation is all-in.
