Ridge Luxury Transportation
Set in the Town of Brookhaven in central Long Island, Ridge is a hamlet of approximately 13,000 residents — one of the largest unincorporated communities in Suffolk County. Located along William Floyd Parkway and just south of the Long Island Expressway (LIE), Ridge serves as a central crossroads between the North Fork wine country, the Hamptons, and central Suffolk's commercial hubs. The historic Longwood Estate (Smith Estate, on the National Register of Historic Places since 1981), Brookhaven National Laboratory just north, and the William Floyd Parkway corridor define the local geography.
North Fork Luxury Transporters is the locally owned, East End-based chauffeured ground transportation partner for Ridge — dispatched from Mattituck across the North Fork via the LIE and Route 25, with our Mercedes Sprinter vans, 34- and 38-passenger coach buses, Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans, and Cadillac Escalade ESVs. We provide JFK, ISP, FOK, and HTO airport transfers, North Fork wine tour shuttles, Hamptons-bound wedding transportation, corporate group movement to Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University, and year-round local Ridge car service.

Why Ridge Residents and Visitors Book Us
North Fork Luxury Transporters is dispatched from Mattituck, NY across the North Fork. Our vehicles are staged on the East End year-round and routinely run West-to-East along the LIE and Route 25 corridor that runs north of Ridge. For Ridge residents, that means we are the obvious chauffeur partner whether you are heading west to JFK or Manhattan, east to the Hamptons or North Fork wineries, or just need a reliable airport run.
Local rideshare coverage in Ridge is hit-or-miss after 10 PM and effectively non-existent for long-distance airport runs. For Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers traveling to international conferences, families heading to a Hamptons wedding, or wine tour groups departing for the North Fork — professional chauffeur service is the reliable option.
What separates our Ridge service:
Local dispatch. Mattituck base; vehicles routinely positioned along the LIE corridor for fast Ridge response.
Both directions covered. Whether you are heading west to JFK/Manhattan or east to the Hamptons/North Fork, our fleet handles both directions with equal frequency.
Wine tour expertise. The North Fork wineries (Bedell, Wölffer, Duck Walk, Pindar, Macari, Castello di Borghese) are 20 to 30 minutes north and east of Ridge — we are the locally based wine tour partner for Ridge families.
Multi-vehicle capacity. Fleet large enough to dispatch a Sprinter, two coach buses, and two SUVs on the same Saturday without subcontracting.
Live flight tracking. ISP, FOK, HTO, JFK, LGA, EWR — we know when your guests are actually wheels-down.
Year-round operation. Off-season weekends, winter holidays, business travel — all part of our regular business.
