Nine vehicle classes are available for car service to the Hamptons, from an economy sedan at $45 per hour with a 3-hour minimum to a standard Sprinter that seats up to 14 passengers, plus buses for 24, 34, and 56 passengers priced by written quote — and a long one-way trip like JFK to the Hamptons is quoted as a fixed route fare, not by the hour, so the right vehicle is decided by your headcount, your luggage, and which town you are headed to.
The Hamptons are the towns and villages of Suffolk County on Long Island’s South Fork — Westhampton, Southampton, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Amagansett, and Montauk at the far end, about 118 miles from JFK by road, a 2 hour 30 minute to 3 hour 15 minute drive. Picture twelve friends landing at JFK on a summer Friday with a week of luggage for a house in East Hampton: split across four app cars they arrive in the wrong order, and in one Sprinter they arrive together. This page lists every class JetBlack runs to the Hamptons, with its seats, its hourly rate, and its minimum booking, so you can match the car to the trip before you book.

The 9 vehicle classes for Hamptons trips
JetBlack publishes its full fleet list with hourly rates, seats, and minimum booking times, and the same nine classes serve the Hamptons. The class and the rate are what your booking guarantees — no specific make or model is promised for any class.
- Economy sedan — up to 3 passengers — $45 per hour, 3-hour minimum
- Luxury sedan — up to 3 passengers — $55 per hour, 3-hour minimum
- Premium sedan — up to 3 passengers — $100 per hour, 3-hour minimum
- Economy SUV — up to 5 passengers — $72 per hour, 3-hour minimum
- Luxury SUV — up to 6 passengers — $80 per hour, 3-hour minimum
- Economy van — up to 7 passengers — $120 per hour, 4-hour minimum
- Standard Sprinter — up to 14 passengers — $130 per hour, 4-hour minimum
- Executive luxury van — up to 7 passengers — $150 per hour, 3-hour minimum
- Stretch limousine — 6 to 25 passengers — $144 per hour, 4-hour minimum
For groups too large for a Sprinter, JetBlack runs 24-passenger, 34-passenger, and 56-passenger buses, plus a super-luxury Sprinter, all priced by written quote rather than a published hourly rate — the total depends on the group size, the route, and the hours, and it is confirmed in writing before you book.
The hourly rate covers the vehicle and a professional chauffeur for the booked hours, with flight tracking on airport pickups and 30 minutes of free waiting on domestic arrivals and 60 minutes on international arrivals — which matters on a two-to-three-hour airport pickup, where a delayed landing must not start the meter on your patience. It does not cover gratuity — a 20% tip is suggested — and tolls, parking, and governmental fees sit outside the rate and appear separately on your written quote. Long one-way trips such as JFK to the Hamptons are sold as fixed route fares rather than by the hour, and if a flat fare applies to your trip it will be stated on your quote.
How to pick for the Hamptons
Start with the people, then the luggage, then the town. A sedan suits up to three passengers travelling light, an SUV handles a family with a week of suitcases, and a Sprinter keeps a group of up to fourteen together in one vehicle instead of splitting across cars.
- 1 to 3 passengers travelling light — economy sedan
- A family with a week of luggage — economy or luxury SUV
- 7 to 14 passengers in one vehicle — economy van or standard Sprinter
- A wedding or celebration out east — stretch limousine, 6 to 25 passengers
- 24 or more passengers — a bus, priced by written quote
Tell JetBlack the headcount, the luggage, and the exact town when you request a quote — Westhampton and Montauk are not the same trip — and the booking team will match the class to the trip. Car and driver for hire and car service companies explain how chauffeured hire works, transfers from JFK Airport to Manhattan covers the airport pickup itself, and the NYC airport closest to Manhattan helps you choose where to land.

The alternatives: taxi, train, and the long drive
A yellow taxi to the Hamptons runs under Rate #05, because the Hamptons are in Suffolk County: the fare is negotiated and agreed before the trip, the driver may decline, and the meter does not set the price. The $0.50 MTA surcharge applies to trips ending in Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, or Suffolk. The train alternative is the LIRR Montauk Branch, which serves Speonk, Westhampton, Hampton Bays, Southampton, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Amagansett, and Montauk — but it leaves you to carry your own bags from the platform. The drive itself is long: JFK to Montauk car service covers about 118 miles in 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes, which is why the fixed written quote matters more than the map on this route. Shocking taxi from NYC to JFK reviews shows what metered taxi pricing feels like on a long run.
How to book the right size
Make a reservation for a specific time and date, and put the headcount, the luggage, and the exact Hamptons town on the booking itself. You can request specific vehicle features or amenities, arrange a customized pick-up or drop-off location, and pay for your car service online or in advance or pay for your car service to the airport. If you land at LaGuardia instead, book airport transportation from New York LaGuardia ahead of time. Additional charges for special requests or amenities and additional charges for tolls or other expenses are named on your written quote before you travel, and a chauffeur who is professional and punctual is part of the service. Cancellation is free before your booking is confirmed.
Questions travelers ask
What is the best vehicle for a group of 10 going to the Hamptons?
A standard Sprinter, which seats up to 14 passengers at $130 per hour with a 4-hour minimum. It keeps a group of 10 together in one vehicle instead of splitting across cars that arrive in the wrong order. For a one-way airport trip the fare is a fixed written quote rather than an hourly charge, so confirm the total in writing before you book.
How much is the cheapest JetBlack vehicle by the hour?
The economy sedan at $45 per hour with a 3-hour minimum, which comes to $135 before gratuity, tolls, and fees for the minimum booking. The $44 figure you may see elsewhere is the first-mile per-mile tier, not an hourly floor and not a trip price.
Do I pay by the hour for a JFK to Hamptons trip?
No. Long one-way trips such as JFK to the Hamptons are sold as fixed route fares, quoted in writing before you travel, and the hourly rates apply to hourly bookings. If a flat fare applies to your trip, it will be stated on your quote — the number you accept is the number you pay.
Can I bring children or request a wheelchair-accessible vehicle to the Hamptons?
Yes. JetBlack provides child seats for about $35 per seat, confirmed at booking, and they are never free — request the seat when you book and tell the dispatcher your child’s age and weight. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are also provided on request, so ask when you book rather than at the curb.
