The route from JFK to the Hamptons covers 75-130 miles depending on your exact destination. Your chauffeur meets you at the JFK terminal of your choice (Terminal 1, 4, 5, 7, or 8) and exits the airport via the Van Wyck Expressway south to the Belt Parkway.

Uber/Lyft Surge Pricing JFK to Hamptons: What You Actually Pay

Scenario 2 — July 4th Saturday landing, headed to Montauk: Peak holiday demand. Uber surge hits 2.6x on the 130-mile Montauk route. Base $290 becomes $754, plus tolls = $758. Our confirmed Montauk rate is $545. Savings: $213.
