Is There Uber on Long Island from MacArthur Airport

Car Service

Uber operates on Long Island, and there are other ride-hailing alternatives like Lyft to consider. While these services are generally excellent for short and spontaneous trips, they quickly become costly during peak times and when you need to travel more than a few miles.

North Country Limousine offers an alternative to Uber and taxis, with a fixed-rate premium chauffeur service in Suffolk County. Our extensive fleet covers all your travel needs, whether you need a black car service for one or two people, or a luxury airport van for a group of family or friends.

See how private airport transportation options easily beat ride-hailing services and make your visit to Long Island as convenient as possible.

 

Can I Get an Uber for a Long Trip?

You can book an Uber for a long trip, but you can expect to pay a much higher rate, especially during peak times when surge charging is in effect.

The Hamptons are a popular destination for visitors on Long Island. Getting to The Hamptons from MacArthur Airport is at least a 40-mile journey and even longer if you’re heading towards East Hampton or farther out towards Montauk. Taking this trip in an Uber would be unreasonably costly, and you wouldn’t enjoy anything on top of the standard ride service for your expensive trip. Any other long journey is similarly costly and potentially inconvenient.

A private airport car service from MacArthur Airport, or even a van service or SUV for a larger group, will usually work out to be more affordable. You will love the premium experience with a trained chauffeur.

Is There Public Transportation on Long Island?

There is public transportation, including bus services and the Long Island Rail Road running from Manhattan to the East End.

Public transportation is an option for some day trips, but you might find this type of travel inconvenient, a little hectic, and inflexible for your needs. Take the Rail Road, for example. It runs 24/7 and is the busiest commuter railroad in America. With 126 stations along the line, it’s never a simple “there and back” journey to anywhere you want to go.

If you’re planning to get from MacArthur Airport to your home or accommodation in Suffolk County, you will want a more direct transportation option. A chauffeured private car, SUV, or limousine is the easiest way to make your trip more comfortable. With a local provider like North Country Limousine, there are even options for winery tours.

In terms of getting to and from MacArthur Airport, a private car service beats public transportation because it’s a door-to-door service with extra conveniences like bottled water in the vehicle, on-board phone charging, and assistance with your luggage.

 

Is it Cheaper to Rent a Car for a Week?

If you won’t be driving all day (most visitors don’t), then it might not be cost-efficient to rent a car for a week on Long Island. Car rental usually ranges between $40 and $80 a day for basic sedans, and up to $100 per day for SUVs. Renting a vehicle comes with other challenges like finding your way around, navigating the traffic (Long Island has some of the worst in New York), and looking for parking spots everywhere you go.

A lot of visitors find that Uber and similar services are ideal for short trips covering just a few miles. You could combine this approach with a private car service for essential trips, such as getting to and from the airport.

If you’re considering some long-distance trips, a private car service is usually as cost-efficient as renting and much more convenient, because you will have a chauffeur who knows the area.
