East Hampton car rental driving guide

Driving in and around East Hampton

The network of highways from New York City to Long Island and the Hamptons mean car hire is the best way to reach East Hampton when travelling from the city or its airports.

The main route into East Hampton is the 95-mile long Montauk Highway, which is a mostly single-lane expressway. It’s a sought-after region, so the roads between the Hamptons’ beautiful locations bustle with life.

East Hampton Airport is set just two miles away from the Montauk Highway via Daniels Hole Road. If you're collecting your hire car from here, you'll immediately unlock the gateway to the Hamptons. Turn left onto the Montauk Highway from Daniels Hole Road and after just three miles you'll be in the centre of the town.

Those who want to feel Long Island sand between their toes will be happy to discover the beautiful East Hampton main beach is a short 1.5-mile drive away from the town centre.

Travel south along Main Road, then Ocean Avenue until you reach the sparkling shores of the Atlantic Ocean.

Cedar Point Country Park is just 8.5 miles from the town centre on a route flanked by lush green trees. In around 20 minutes, you'll arrive at the park via Hands Creek Road and Cedar Point to be surrounded by nature trails.

Driving in the Hamptons is a little different from being a motorist in much of the USA, as you'll be reaching your destination on single-lane roads. Navigating East Hampton in a hire car means you'll be surrounded by incredible scenery, so take it slow and soak up the serenity.

A quick guide to East Hampton

Visit the Pollock-Krasner House

Lovers of art will want to make this fascinating location the first stop of their East Hampton exploration. Married couple and abstract expressionist pioneers Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner lived and worked in the hamlet of Springs in East Hampton.

The house is less than a five mile drive from the centre of East Hampton in your hire car via Springs Fireplace Rd.

Visitors to the well-maintained house and studio get a flavour of how the artists lived and worked on a guided tour.

Go glamping at Cedar Point

Cedar Point County Park is a 607-acre park in the hamlet of Northwest Harbour, less than nine miles away from the centre of East Hampton and easily accessible in a hire car thanks to limited parking on site.

Glamping is a welcome fresh addition to Cedar Point. Set on the banks of Gardiners Bay, guests have undisturbed views of this shimmering body of water, plus access to kayaks and paddleboards to explore a little further.

Hike the nature trails, picnic in the forest and admire the iconic decommissioned lighthouse for the perfect relaxing break.
