Our Newark (EWR) to Hamptons car service starts at $475 in a Mercedes E-Class sedan for Southampton, with rates of $525 for East Hampton and $625 for Montauk. This is the most expensive Hamptons route because it requires crossing all of New York City via the Lincoln Tunnel before reaching Long Island.
The drive from Newark Airport to Southampton covers approximately 115 miles via the New Jersey Turnpike, Lincoln Tunnel, Midtown Manhattan, Queens-Midtown Tunnel, Long Island Expressway (LIE/I-495), and Sunrise Highway (Route 27). Off-peak the drive takes about 3 hours. On summer Fridays, expect 3.5 to 4+ hours. EWR-to-Hamptons routes always pass through NYC traffic and are the longest Hamptons transfer.
Route Details: Newark Airport to the Hamptons
The route from EWR to the Hamptons covers 105-130 miles depending on your exact destination. Unlike JFK and LGA routes which stay on Long Island, the EWR route must cross NYC. Your chauffeur meets you at Terminal A, B, or C and exits Newark via the NJ Turnpike north to the Lincoln Tunnel ($16 peak toll). The route then crosses Midtown Manhattan via 42nd Street or 34th Street to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, picks up the Long Island Expressway (LIE/I-495) eastbound, and continues east to Manorville, where it transitions to Sunrise Highway (Route 27).
NYC traffic consideration: The Lincoln Tunnel inbound, Midtown crosstown traffic, and Queens-Midtown Tunnel outbound can add 30-60 minutes during weekday peak hours. Late-night and Saturday morning trips bypass most of this congestion.
