Route
What route does the chauffeur take to Southampton?
All our vehicles are commercial-plated, so every trip uses highways, never parkways. The route runs through the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, then east on the Long Island Expressway (I-495) to Exit 70 at Manorville. From there it is County Road 111 south to Sunrise Highway (NY-27) east through the pine barrens, then across the Shinnecock Canal. Just past the canal, NY-27 merges with County Road 39 at Shinnecock Hills. This merge, known as the “Shinnecock squeeze”, is the most reliable summer backup on the trip. When it stalls, your chauffeur can switch to the Montauk Highway shore route through Hampton Bays. Every toll is in the fare.
Drop-Offs
Where can we drop you in Southampton?
- Village center: Main Street and Jobs Lane form the shopping core. The intersection is signal-controlled, and village parking is time-limited. Door-to-door drop-off avoids the hunt for a space.
- Southampton LIRR station: at North Main Street and Powell Avenue. Book your return trip at Book online or call (888) 883-8180.
- Coopers Beach: 268 Meadow Lane, the village’s flagship ocean beach. Non-residents pay $55 per day to park in season, pets and alcohol are not permitted, and daily passes are sold by on-site attendants. A drop-off makes the pass unnecessary. Book your return trip at Book online or call (888) 883-8180.
- Village Hall: 23 Main Street. This is the point your fare is priced to.
- Estates and rentals: Gin Lane, Meadow Lane, First Neck Lane, Halsey Neck Lane and North Sea. Send us the gate details at booking.

Hourly
Is hourly or one-way better for Southampton?
One way is the better buy for a city-to-house transfer. The fare starts at $452.60 with tolls included. Book hourly chauffeur service for a gala night, a wedding, or a day of beach, lunch and shopping stops. Hourly rates are $110, $130, $150 or $180 per hour with a 3-hour minimum ($330 / $390 / $450 / $540). Hourly bookings include tolls and unlimited stops within the booked hours, and parking is included in most cases; any parking fees are listed on your quote. For Southampton weddings and benefit galas, see wedding and event chauffeur.
