Charter Bus Rentals in East Hampton, New York

Why Rent a Bus in East Hampton?

Many visitors to the Hamptons are from out-of-town—specifically from major cities like New York City or Boston—which means taking a personal vehicle may not always be in the cards. That being said, East Hampton‘s popularity among out-of-towners means the accommodations here are very visitor-friendly. But what mode of transportation is the best for your group? Well, it depends. Some methods are well-suited for smaller groups with unpredictable schedules, while others are better for larger groups or those with tight itineraries.

Here are your East Hampton transportation options and the pros and cons of each:

• Long Island Railroad: This public train system is especially attractive if you’re coming in from NYC. For $22-$30 (depending on the season), your New Yorkers can depart from Penn Station and take the direct service to the Hamptons. The catch? Direct routes between East Hampton and Manhattan are very limited—departing only twice a week. Your group can catch a transfer out to the East End, but if you’re worried about groups of children getting lost or folks with mobility concerns not being able to transfer efficiently, consider another route to the Hamptons.
• Uber, Lyft, or Taxi: Rideshare services and cabs can be convenient for smaller groups (6 or fewer) and can take you nearly anywhere there’s a road. Needless to say, though, you’ll have to wait longer than what you’d expect in cities like NYC. Also, if your group is in town during peak tourist season—spring and summer—rates are likely to be unpredictable. If you need a predictable budget or more room to accommodate a large group of passengers, this mode of transport is not ideal.
• East Hampton Bus Rental: Unlike other ways to get around the Hamptons, a private bus rental grants you a fully personalized experience and comforts you won’t find anywhere else. And when you book with Shofur, you’ll have your pick of sprinter vans, minibuses, and charter buses to best accommodate any number of passengers. While the upfront cost of renting a bus is more than other transportation options in the area, your group can make it more manageable by splitting the cost among all the passengers.
