NYC to Long Island Black Car Service.

Private chauffeured transfers from New York City to Long Island and the Hamptons, door to door.

Premium black car service from New York City to Long Island, built for the weekenders, executives, and families heading east, from Nassau and Suffolk to the Hamptons and the North Fork. We pick you up at your door anywhere in the city and drive direct by the Long Island Expressway, with a professional chauffeur who knows the route and, in summer, how to beat the traffic out east. One confirmed flat fare covers the tolls, so a Friday escape to the beach or a business trip to Long Island starts with a luxury sedan or SUV at your curb and a price you already know.

— The Service

Executive black car and chauffeur service from NYC to Long Island.

RideSoHo’s New York-to-Long Island car service is built for the run east from the city to the suburbs and the shore. A private vehicle and a professional chauffeur meet you at your door and drive direct to your Long Island destination, with a single confirmed rate and no metering. Whether you are heading to Garden City in Nassau, a Melville office in Suffolk, or a share house in the Hamptons, we route by the Queens-Midtown Tunnel and the Long Island Expressway, around the day’s traffic, and drop at the address you name.

The clients who book this executive car service are Hamptons and East End travelers escaping for the weekend or the season, business travelers heading to Long Island’s office parks, families visiting for events and weddings, and North Fork visitors bound for the wineries. The Hampton Jitney and the Long Island Rail Road are options, but neither is door to door, and neither gives you a private cabin to work or unwind on the way out. We watch the LIE and Route 27 in real time, handle the tolls, and quote one flat fare for the whole trip, however far east you are going.

RideSoHo is a NYC TLC-licensed black car and chauffeur company operating from 230 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, providing luxury ground transportation across the city, Long Island, and the metro airports. Every New York-to-Long Island transfer is held to the same three standards.

Discreet, Professional Chauffeurs

Every RideSoHo chauffeur is licensed, background-checked, and experienced on the route east. Our chauffeurs know the Long Island Expressway, the Northern State Parkway, and Route 27 to the Hamptons, the back roads that save time on a busy Friday, and the lanes of Montauk Highway through the villages. They keep the cabin quiet and the service professional throughout.

Timed to Your Schedule

Timing is everything on a summer weekend, when the trip east can double. We plan the departure around the day and the season, build in the LIE and the East End approaches, and the chauffeur reroutes in real time, so you arrive without the share-house scramble. On-demand and scheduled reservations are handled through 24/7 dispatch.

— Travel times

Travel times from NYC to Long Island.

New York connects to Long Island by the Queens-Midtown Tunnel or Queensboro Bridge and the Long Island Expressway. Times below are typical estimates and run much longer on summer Fridays and holiday weekends heading east.

The Route East

The route runs the Queens-Midtown Tunnel or the Queensboro Bridge to the Long Island Expressway (I-495) east, then the Northern State Parkway or Route 27, the Sunrise and Montauk Highways, to the East End. The chauffeur selects and adjusts the route in real time.

Beating Hamptons Traffic

Summer Fridays east and Sunday afternoons west are the toughest hours on Long Island. Our chauffeurs plan the departure around the rush, know the back roads through the villages, and keep the trip moving when the highways stall, so the weekend starts on time.

Tolls & the Congestion Zone

The Long Island Expressway is toll-free, so the main toll is the Queens-Midtown Tunnel out of Manhattan, included in your flat rate. A Manhattan congestion charge applies only if your pickup is below 60th Street, and it too is included where it applies.

- Travelers We Serve Most

Weekenders, executives, and families.

Hamptons & East End Travelers

For the share-house crowd, second-home owners, and weekenders heading to Southampton, East Hampton, Sag Harbor, or Montauk, we provide a comfortable, chauffeured ride east, with room for luggage and beach gear and a driver who knows the season's traffic, a true Hamptons car service.

Corporate & Business Travelers

For executives heading to Long Island's office parks and business centers in Melville, Garden City, and along the corridor, we provide scheduled and on-demand chauffeur service with consistent vehicles, fixed pricing, account billing, and clean receipts.

Families, Weddings & Events

For families visiting, wedding parties, and event groups heading out to a Long Island venue, we provide luxury SUVs and vans with room for the party, child seats on request, and a chauffeur who handles the route and the timing.

— Hourly Chauffeur

Hourly as directed for a day out east.

A trip to Long Island is often more than a single drop. You may want a chauffeur for a day of North Fork wineries, a car on hand across a wedding weekend, or stops at several Hamptons villages before settling in. With hourly-as-directed chauffeur service, the car and driver stay with you, with wait time included in the rate, so you are not arranging rides in towns where car service is hard to hail.

Common itineraries include a New York pickup, a drive east, a day of wine tastings or village stops, and a return the same evening, or a full wedding weekend with the car on call. For a straight transfer from the city to a single Long Island address, flat-rate point-to-point is typically the more economical structure. We build the day around your plans and confirm the rate before you book.

Routing & Traffic

Routing, tolls, and timing east.

The Route East

The route runs the Queens-Midtown Tunnel or the Queensboro Bridge to the Long Island Expressway (I-495) east, then the Northern State Parkway or, for the East End, Sunrise Highway and Route 27, the Montauk Highway, through the villages. The chauffeur selects and adjusts the route in real time, so the fastest moving path is the one taken.

Tolls & the Congestion Zone

The Long Island Expressway and the parkways are toll-free, so the main toll on the route is the Queens-Midtown Tunnel out of Manhattan, and it is included in your confirmed flat rate. A Manhattan congestion charge applies only if your pickup is below 60th Street, and it is included where it applies. There is no separate line item and no end-of-trip add-on.

Seasonal & Peak Timing

Summer weekends transform the trip east, with heavy outbound traffic on Friday afternoons and a slow return on Sundays. We plan the departure around the season and the day, and our chauffeurs use the back roads through the villages when the highways stall, so the schedule holds.
