Flat Confirmed Price, No Surge, Instant Online Booking, 24/7
Manhattan to LaGuardia, the Short Airport Run
LaGuardia is about 8 miles from Midtown, and outside rush hour the ride is often under 40 minutes. The catch is the Grand Central Parkway and the bridges, which back up fast on weekday afternoons.
It's a private car, booked for you alone, and driven by a TLC-licensed chauffeur from our network. You see their name and number before they arrive.
What to Expect on This Route
Short distance, but timing still decides the trip.
The Usual Route
From Midtown and the East Side, usually the Queensboro Bridge or the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, then the BQE and Grand Central Parkway. From uptown, the RFK Bridge is often fastest.
Typical Drive Time
About 25 to 40 minutes from Midtown outside rush hour. Weekday afternoons can stretch it past an hour.
When to Book Your Pickup
Airlines ask you to arrive 2 hours before a domestic flight. From Midtown, most riders book a pickup 2½ to 3 hours before departure, more at rush hour.
Free Waiting Time
If you land late, the clock waits with you: 45 free minutes after a domestic landing and 60 after an international one, from the time the flight actually lands.
Meeting Your Chauffeur
Before pickup you get your chauffeur's name and number. Call when you have your bags; they come to the curb. Meet & greet with a name sign inside the terminal is $30.
Three Terminals
LaGuardia has Terminals A, B and C. Terminal A sits on its own across the airfield, so give us your airline and flight number and we'll go to the right one.
