Local notes

Montauk Car Service to the Airports and the City

Montauk is the end of Long Island, about 118 miles east of New York City, with the ocean on one side, Block Island Sound on the other and the lighthouse at the point. The hamlet stretches from the Napeague strip to Montauk Point State Park: the docks on Lake Montauk, the surf at Ditch Plains, Hither Hills and Camp Hero, the motels on the Old Montauk Highway and the LIRR station where the line ends. It belongs to the Town of East Hampton and sits a full half hour beyond East Hampton Village.

  • One Road in, One Road Out

    Montauk Highway (Route 27) across Napeague is the only road, and Old Montauk Highway is the scenic loop through Hither Hills. When Route 27 is blocked there is no alternative, so for flights we leave Montauk with more margin than any other village.

  • Pickup Spots

    The Montauk LIRR station on Edgemere Street, the Plaza in the center of the hamlet, the docks on West Lake Drive, Ditch Plains, the Point, and the hotels along the Old Montauk Highway and on the harbor. For a house we come to the door; for the beach we wait at the lot.

  • Summer Rhythm

    Friday evening fills Route 27 eastbound; Sunday afternoon and Labor Day Monday empty it westbound. Early mornings are calm, which is why the 2 to 4 a.m. airport runs from Montauk are often the smoothest drives of the week.

  • Airports From the End of the Island

    JFK about three hours, LGA similar, EWR about three and a half, ISP about two. For a private flight, MTP takes light aircraft in season and HTO takes jets; FOK in Westhampton is about an hour and a quarter.

Chauffeured Car Service in Montauk, in Detail

That distance is the reason to book a chauffeur. East End Lux provides car service in Montauk with new, meticulously maintained luxury SUVs, so a 3 a.m. departure for JFK or a return from a late flight becomes three hours of quiet rather than three hours at the wheel. We serve the hotels, the rentals, the marinas and the train station, and every transfer is quoted in writing before you confirm.

Montauk Airport (MTP) is a small seasonal field on East Lake Drive for light aircraft and helicopters; most private jets for Montauk use East Hampton Airport (HTO) in Wainscott, 35 to 45 minutes west. We meet either, and we advise which to file for.

Questions

Montauk Car Service Questions

How early should we leave Montauk for a 7 a.m. JFK departure?

We collect around 2:30 to 3 a.m. The drive is about three hours outside of traffic and that early it usually runs to the quick end, which still leaves time at the terminal for check-in and security. Later in the morning the trade parade on Route 27 and County Road 39 adds time, so a 10 a.m. flight needs an earlier relative start than a 7 a.m. one.

Is it worth flying private into Montauk instead of East Hampton?

Montauk Airport (MTP) is small, seasonal and suited to light aircraft and helicopters; it is five to ten minutes from the hamlet. Jets land at East Hampton Airport (HTO) in Wainscott, 35 to 45 minutes away. We meet either field and will tell you the ground time for each so your flight department can choose.

Can you pick up at the Montauk train station?

Yes. The station on Edgemere Street is the last stop on the LIRR Montauk Branch. We meet the train at the curb with a name card if you wish, track the arrival time, and load the luggage. Summer weekend trains arrive full, so tell us the car you are in and we find you quickly.

Do you drive from Montauk to Manhattan at night?

Yes, 24 hours. A late dinner in Montauk and a return to Midtown is about three and a quarter to three and three quarter hours after midnight, with no traffic to speak of. The car is a luxury SUV; passengers sleep or work and arrive at the door.

Do you handle group weekends in Montauk?

Yes. Hourly as-directed service with a chauffeur covers the day and the night: surf at Ditch Plains, lunch on the docks, dinner in the hamlet and back to the house, with no one driving. For larger groups we run more than one SUV together, or arrange a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, a shuttle or a coach. Tell us the headcount and we quote it in writing.
