Ride Free, Ride Fun, Ride Nonstop in the Hamptons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone knows TRAFFIC SUCKS IN THE HAMPTONS. But while sitting on 27 is great for getting through your audio book and podcast backlog, it’s not exactly fun when you’re due at an appointment or need to get to that precious reservation on time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, with all the driving I do for showing and cavorting around the East End, I\u2019ve been searching for ways to be a happy passenger instead of a cranky driver. Here are a few that I discovered that could help you avoid Hamptons road rage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hampton Hopper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizable by their big, blue school buses, this inexpensive, app-based ride service runs daily loops in Montauk from 10 a.m.\u201310 p.m., with stops at all the hotspots, resorts and activity hubs, including Hither Hills Campground, Gosman\u2019s Dock, Gurney\u2019s, Kirk Park Beach, the LIRR station, Montauk Chamber of Commerce and more. They also offer private charters. Get all the details at hamptonhopper.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rove<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coming back for summer 2021, Rove provides nonstop transportation between Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Hamptons\u2014so you get on in one place and get off at your destination, with no stops in-between. Instead of a big bus, you\u2019ll travel in a Mercedes Sprinter Van, which takes off from Rove\u2019s partner hotels in SoHo or Williamsburg and drop off at some of the Hamptons\u2019 most happening locations. You can also charter a private ride, and pets are permitted if they\u2019re 25 lbs or less! Check them out at\u00a0ridewithrove.com<\/a>. They also have a Sag Harbor village shuttle service called Rove loop. You can check their website for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circuit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented by founders and East Hampton natives Alex Esposito and James Mirras<\/p>\n\n\n\n

as a greener ride option, Circuit (formerly Hamptons Free Ride) uses easy-to-spot all-electric vehicles to shuttle passengers to the beach in Southampton, East Hampton and Montauk\u2014and it\u2019s free! Visit ridecircuit.com<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re making the journey from points west or tooling around town, these services are often fun, social gatherings on wheels. And they\u2019re definitely a safe bet for anyone who should not get behind the wheel while enjoying a boozy summer day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll see you on the road!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
