5 Reasons Savvy Business Travelers Prefer a Private SUV from NYC to the Hamptons

Time is the one thing you can’t expense. The 100-mile stretch between Manhattan and the Hamptons either steals it or gives it back, depending on how you travel. Here’s why people who make the trip often, and who bill by the hour, keep choosing a chauffeured SUV.

1 Work While the World Scrolls By

The cabin is quiet, the seat doubles as a desk, and the ride is smooth enough to edit slides. Pair your phone hotspot—or upgrade to onboard Wi-Fi—and you’ve traded gridlock for focus.

2 Arrival Times You Can Believe

Old traffic patterns, live data, and a driver who’s done this route a thousand times beat any navigation app. Summer Fridays still clog, but a good chauffeur leaves early, re-routes late, and lands you on the dot.

3 Less Wear on You (and Your Car)

An SUV with real leg-room and climate control is not a luxury after a ten-hour workday; it’s what keeps you sharp for the next one. Your own car stays in the garage, and so does its depreciation.

4 Door-to-Door, No Hand-Offs

Subway → Penn → Jitney → rideshare is a relay race. A single vehicle that starts at your office and ends at your beach house feels short even when the miles don’t.

5 The Math Often Favors a Chauffeur

Add two hours of usable work time, subtract tolls, parking, and wear-and-tear, then assign a value to stress avoided. Frequent riders find the net cost surprisingly close—and sometimes cheaper—than driving themselves.

The Takeaway

If you travel this corridor enough, the right car service is less a perk than a piece of infrastructure: invisible when it works, costly when it fails. Hamptons Leisure Limo runs private SUVs daily between NYC and the Hamptons, year-round.
