Why Take a Car Service to the Shore

Skip the Friday Crawl

The southbound Parkway on a summer Friday is a slog. Spend it in the back seat with cold air and your phone instead of white-knuckling the wheel.

Door-to-Sand Service

NJ Transit stops at the station. We stop at your beach house — with your cooler, chairs, umbrellas, and weekend bags already loaded.

Share House Runs

The whole house down in one Mercedes Sprinter — up to 14 people, custom quoted. No caravans, no fighting over beach parking.

Boardwalk & Stone Pony Nights

Concert at the Stone Pony or dinner on the Asbury Park boardwalk? Same-day round trips with a scheduled pickup — no late-night drive back.

Professional Chauffeurs

Drivers who run the Turnpike and Parkway every week and know which exits move on a summer Saturday.

Flat Rate Pricing

One rate, quoted before you book. No surge on beach weekends, no toll math, no surprises.

Shore Towns We Serve

Asbury Park, Long Branch & Red Bank

The northern Shore's music, dining, and beach-club core — and the fastest stretch to reach from Manhattan.

  • Asbury Park — boardwalk, the Stone Pony, beach bars
  • Long Branch — Pier Village beach clubs and hotels
  • Red Bank — riverfront dining and the Count Basie Center
  • Roughly 60-75 minutes from Midtown

Belmar, Spring Lake & Bay Head

Quieter beaches and classic Shore towns a little further down the coast — quoted flat at booking for your exact address.

  • Belmar — beach and marina, summer share-house country
  • Spring Lake — the "Irish Riviera," boardwalk and inns
  • Bay Head — the last stop before the barrier island
  • Any Shore address, door-to-door

Summer tip: leave Manhattan before 1 PM on Fridays or after 8 PM to dodge the worst of the southbound Parkway. Or do not worry about it — that is our job.

Private Car vs. NJ Transit & Driving

Train or Your Own Car

  • North Jersey Coast Line reaches some towns — but ends at the station
  • Beach gear on a crowded summer train is its own workout
  • Driving means the Friday Parkway crawl, then beach parking
  • Station-to-house rides on each end eat the time saved

Private Car

  • Your building to the beach house in about 75 minutes
  • Coolers, chairs, and bags loaded once — done
  • Leave on your schedule, return on your schedule
  • Flat rate quoted upfront; split among the house it is easy math

NYC to Jersey Shore FAQs

How much does car service from NYC to the Jersey Shore cost?

Car service from Manhattan to Asbury Park starts at $350 for a Mercedes E-Class sedan. A Cadillac Escalade SUV is $475. Other Shore towns — Long Branch, Red Bank, Belmar, Spring Lake, Bay Head — are quoted flat at booking based on the exact address, and Sprinter Vans for groups are priced on a custom quote.

How long is the drive from NYC to the Jersey Shore?

Manhattan to Asbury Park is about 59 miles and takes roughly 75 minutes in normal traffic, via the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. Long Branch and Red Bank are a touch closer; Bay Head is farther down, closer to 1.5 hours. Summer Friday afternoons on the Parkway southbound run longer — that is exactly when you want someone else driving.

Is a private car better than NJ Transit to the Shore?

NJ Transit's North Jersey Coast Line does reach towns like Long Branch and Asbury Park, but it starts at Penn Station and ends at a station — not at your beach house. With beach chairs, coolers, and weekend bags, the station-to-door legs on each end add up. A private car is door-to-door: your building to the sand, gear and all.

Which Jersey Shore towns do you serve?

All of the northern Shore: Asbury Park, Long Branch, Red Bank, Belmar, Spring Lake, Bay Head, and everywhere between. Any Shore address gets a flat quote at booking. If you are heading somewhere further down the coast, request a quote and we will confirm a rate.

Can you do a round trip for a Shore weekend?

Yes — down Friday, back Sunday is the classic summer pattern. Book both legs together and your Sunday pickup is locked in before you leave. For concert nights at the Stone Pony or a dinner run to Asbury Park, we also do same-day round trips with a scheduled or on-call return.

Do you handle groups heading to a share house?

That is a Sprinter job. Our Mercedes Sprinter Van seats up to 14 with room for everyone's bags — the whole share house rides down together instead of coordinating three cars and a parking situation. Sprinter trips are custom quoted: send your dates and addresses and we confirm a flat rate.

What about summer Friday traffic on the Parkway?

The southbound Garden State Parkway crawl is a summer institution. We cannot make it disappear, but your chauffeur times the route, works the alternates where they help, and — most importantly — you spend the slow miles in the back seat with cold air and your phone, not gripping the wheel.
