"Alvir is wonderful! Professional, kept in touch with me by text, on time, excellent driver especially in this terrible snow. After a 9 1/2 hour flight from Rome it was great to see a familiar face. We will use you again and certainly spread your company name to friends and family."

"Hamptons Leisure Limo was amazing. They took my son to and from airport when he had to fly alone from boarding school. The driver escorted my son to the gate and waited with him until his flight took off. Above and beyond!"

"I wish I could give 6/5 stars - I truly can't recommend Hamptons Leisure Limo highly enough. Our drivers were punctual, kind, and truly went above and beyond. Every SUV was spotless and stocked, and the entire operation ran like clockwork."

Your Manhattan to East Hampton Journey
The standard route from Manhattan to East Hampton takes the Long Island Expressway (I-495) to Exit 70, then Route 27 east through Water Mill, Bridgehampton, and into East Hampton Village. The total distance is approximately 105 miles, and on a clear day the drive offers glimpses of farmland, vineyards, and the flat horizon that signals you have arrived on the South Fork.
East Hampton is about 15 minutes farther east than Southampton, which means you pass through most of the Hamptons traffic before reaching your destination. Drive time is two to two and a half hours without traffic. On summer Friday evenings, plan for three to three and a half hours. Our drivers track conditions in real time and will adjust the route if congestion builds.
When Route 27 is backed up through Bridgehampton and East Hampton, our drivers know that taking Noyac Road or Springs Fireplace Road can save significant time. These backroads run parallel to the main highway and bypass the worst bottlenecks near the village center. That kind of local knowledge is something you will not get from a rideshare driver following GPS directions for the first time.
Popular drop-off points include the Main Beach area, Newtown Lane (the main shopping street), Guild Hall, and the residential neighborhoods of Northwest Woods, The Springs, and Georgica. We also serve clients continuing east to Amagansett and Montauk. Wherever you are headed, just text us the address and your driver will be at your Manhattan door right on time.
Why Private Car Service Beats Uber for This Route
The distance works against rideshare. At 105 miles, Manhattan to East Hampton is one of the longest Hamptons routes. Uber Black pricing for this distance routinely exceeds what clients expect, especially on Friday evenings when surge multipliers kick in.
Drivers cancel long trips. Rideshare drivers see a 2.5-hour destination and cancel because the return trip is unprofitable. With our service, your driver is committed to the full route before you even step outside.
Work from the backseat. The ride to East Hampton is long enough to be productive. Many of our clients use the 2+ hours to finish a presentation, take calls, or decompress before the weekend. A quiet, climate-controlled cabin makes that possible.
Arrive refreshed, not drained. After two and a half hours of driving yourself through LIE traffic, you arrive at East Hampton exhausted. In the back of a Suburban, you arrive ready for dinner at Nick & Toni's.
Fixed rate locks at booking. Our quote does not change if traffic adds an extra hour. Uber charges by time and distance, so a slow crawl through Bridgehampton costs you more. With us, the price is the price.
Local route knowledge. Our drivers know Noyac Road, Springs Fireplace Road, and the backroads through Water Mill. When Route 27 is gridlocked, that knowledge shaves real time off your trip.
What's Included in Every Ride
Scheduled pickup from your Manhattan address. Apartment lobby, office building, hotel. Your driver texts when they arrive and waits at the door.
Productive ride. Phone chargers, quiet cabin, Wi-Fi. Many clients take calls or finish emails during the drive so they can start the weekend the moment they step out in East Hampton.
Route expertise. Your driver knows whether to take the Midtown Tunnel, Queens-Midtown Expressway, or Williamsburg Bridge based on real-time traffic conditions.
Luggage for the weekend. Multiple bags, groceries from Citarella, wine cases, surfboards. Everything is loaded by your driver with plenty of cargo space.
Weekend flexibility. Book your return trip at the same time for a seamless Hamptons weekend. Same fixed pricing, same professional service heading back to the city.
Best Times to Travel to East Hampton
Friday Departures
Leave before 2pm or after 8pm to avoid the worst of it. The 3pm to 7pm window on summer Fridays can add 60 to 90 minutes, especially through the Bridgehampton and East Hampton stretch of Route 27.
Midweek Travel
Tuesday through Thursday, the drive is significantly faster. Expect 2 to 2.5 hours from Midtown to East Hampton. The roads east of Southampton are especially quiet midweek.
Holiday Weekends
Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day are the heaviest traffic weekends. Leave Thursday evening or very early Friday morning. Our drivers know the alternate routes that help on these peak days.
Off-Season Travel
October through April, the drive is consistently 2 to 2.5 hours any day of the week. East Hampton in the fall is stunning, with empty beaches and restaurant tables you can actually get without a reservation.
Choosing the Right Vehicle
For the Manhattan to East Hampton run, here is what our clients typically choose.
Mercedes S-Class

The most popular pick for families and couples with weekend luggage. Room for six passengers plus bags, beach chairs, and anything you picked up at Whole Foods before leaving the city.
Mercedes Sprinter
Built for friend groups heading to East Hampton together. Up to 14 passengers with luggage space, so you can skip coordinating multiple cars and arrive as a group.
