Travel Tips
Practical advice from over a decade of Hamptons transfers.
During summer weekends and holidays, demand for Hamptons transportation surges. Book at least 24–48 hours ahead to secure your preferred vehicle and time slot.
International arrivals at JFK can take 45–75 minutes through customs and baggage claim. Rideline’s 75-minute complimentary wait covers most international arrivals — your driver waits at no extra charge.
Summer Fridays and holiday weekends significantly impact travel times. Arriving Thursday evening or Saturday morning avoids the worst congestion. Your chauffeur monitors conditions and adjusts routes in real time.

Private car service from Rideline starts at $289 flat-rate with direct pickup from JFK arrivals to your Hamptons address — no transfers, no surge pricing.
Travel times vary by destination and traffic. Southampton is approximately 1.5–2.5 hours (75 miles), East Hampton approximately 2–3 hours (90 miles), and Montauk approximately 2.5–3.5 hours (120 miles).
