Southampton, East Hampton, Montauk—locked-in pricing, flight tracking, and vetted chauffeurs who know the difference between a 58-minute Friday and a 3-hour one.
The Hamptons to JFK corridor spans 75–120 miles depending on whether you're leaving from Southampton, East Hampton, or Montauk. Off-peak drive times run 90–120 minutes. But on Friday afternoons between 3:00 and 6:00 PM, that same drive takes a median of 2 hours and 21 minutes as Manhattan office workers and weekenders flood the LIE simultaneously.
The critical insight: travelers departing JFK between 6:00 and 9:00 PM enjoy median drive times of just 58 minutes—an 80-minute improvement for leaving three hours later. This timing arbitrage delivers nearly helicopter-like speed at a fraction of the charter cost.
True North VIP provides flat-rate airport car service from any Hamptons address to JFK with all tolls included. Every booking includes complimentary flight tracking—60 minutes of wait time for domestic flights, 90 minutes for international. Add meet & greet ($25) for name-sign pickup inside JFK baggage claim.
An 80-mile corridor with 80 minutes of timing variance, estate-gate logistics, and a luxury alternative that costs 10x more.
Data from thousands of summer rides shows the 3:00–6:00 PM Friday window produces median drive times over 2 hours 20 minutes. The same route after 6:30 PM takes just 58 minutes. Timing your departure is worth more than any shortcut.
A charter helicopter to East Hampton costs approximately $4,100 and takes 40–45 minutes. A car departing after 6:30 PM reaches the same destination in roughly 90 minutes—only 45 minutes slower, at one-tenth the cost. For groups of 3–4, the math is even more favorable.
Hamptons properties often have long private driveways, gated entrances, and gatehouse security. Your chauffeur coordinates with your property manager or gatehouse directly. For rental properties, provide the access code at booking for seamless pickup.
“The Hamptons” spans 40+ miles from Westhampton to Montauk. Distance and drive time vary significantly by town.
