KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Southampton

  • Utilizing car rentals in Southampton affords additional benefits compared to alternative transportation methods. Southampton car rentals grant drivers unparalleled freedom and flexibility, as they can travel anywhere they desire without relying on shared modes of transportation like public buses or taxis. Having a car also affords greater exploration opportunities for travelers. Tourists to Southampton can explore attractions like Southampton Art Center, Shinnecock Indian Museum, and Southampton Historical Museum.
  • For those planning to drive car rentals in Southampton, a rental center is located in major entry points to the city, like Islip Long Island Airport (ISP), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and LaGuardia Airport (LGA). At ISP, car rentals are at the consolidated Ground Transportation Center, a short walk from the main terminal. Passengers arriving at JFK will take the AirTrain to the rental facility, located a short ride away. The rental facility at LGA is also a short ride away, with a free shuttle picking up passengers from the frontage of all airport terminals. Hertz, Enterprise, and Budget are some popular agencies at these airports.
  • You must always be alert when driving car rentals in Southampton. The roads are generally very busy as locals and visitors alike move around the city. Drivers should pay close attention to pedestrians, given their tendency to walk unexpectedly into the street. Additionally, parking may prove challenging due to potential restrictions in specific locations, so it's essential to thoroughly review any posted signs. Finally, refrain from using bus lanes, which are strictly reserved for public transport vehicles.
  • The dense population of Southampton makes driving particularly troublesome during peak travel times. Morning rush hour starts at about 7 am and continues until about 9 am.  It starts again in the early evening at around 4 pm and continues until 5 pm. During these specific hours each day, there tends to be heavy traffic, especially on major streets. The worst roads affected include Hill Street, North Sea Road, Flying Point Road, and Majors Path.
  • Book your rental car in Southampton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard rental cars in Southampton are around 17% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Southampton?

    Compact cars like sedans and hatchbacks are a popular choice for navigating the city center, as their small size allows for easy maneuvering through busy streets and traffic. For travelers looking for improved traction and handling in inclement weather or on uneven terrain at popular attractions like Peconic Estuary and Old Town Pond, it is recommended to choose an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle. This type of car is well-suited to exploring Southampton's nearby countryside, as its features provide better control in wet and slippery conditions. In addition, economy cars offer commuters in Southampton a practical choice for navigating the area with minimal expense.

  • What’s the speed limit in Southampton?

    The speed restrictions in Southampton are 20 mph for residential areas, in the city center, and around school zones. It is 55 mph for highways like Sunrise Highway and Montauk Highway.

Southampton places speed cameras strategically at popular locations, including nearby educational facilities and public parks. It is essential to recognize that speed restrictions may differ in adjacent communities and should be observed accordingly.

  • Where are the best places to park in Southampton?

    Locating parking in Southampton's city center can prove challenging, most notably during busy hours. There are multiple places to park within the city, from parking lots to street spots, though some may charge a fee. There are also several parking garages in and around Southampton, such as the West and East Main Street Lots, which offer a variety of rate plans ranging from one-time to monthly passes, and charges are up to around $3 for an hour. It is crucial to recognize that parking in restricted areas without permission is illegal, and overstaying in a designated space can also result in penalties. Those who desire a less complicated and affordable parking experience may find that parking outside the city center and using public transportation to get to your downtown destination is the better choice.
