LaGuardia airport car service
Quick answer: Private Car Service NYC reserves cars for LaGuardia Airport (LGA) on the same floors it uses everywhere: sedan $120 all-in, SUV $150 all-in, S-Class starting at $175 and Sprinter starting at $200 per hour, each with a 3-hour minimum. Name the terminal, A, B or C, with the airline and flight number, or call (646) 814-0667.
LaGuardia is the closest of the New York airports to Manhattan, on Flushing Bay in East Elmhurst, Queens. That proximity is exactly why travelers underestimate it. The drive is short on a map, but the approaches funnel through a few bridges and one parkway, and the airport itself is three separate terminals rather than one long curb. Most flights here are domestic, so the passenger mix leans toward business travelers on a same-day schedule. A reserved car is useful when the meeting clock matters more than the fare on an app.
Three terminals, three curbs
LaGuardia's terminals are A, B and C. Terminal A is the historic Marine Air Terminal on the western edge of the field. Terminals B and C are the large rebuilt buildings in the middle of the airport. They are far enough apart that a chauffeur staged at the wrong one cannot simply walk over. For that reason the reservation should always carry the terminal from the airline's itinerary, and the traveler should check it again the night before, because airlines do move between buildings.
For arrivals, give the flight number so dispatch can plan around the real landing time. Airport transfers on this site come with flight tracking, meet-and-greet service and luggage assistance, so say whether you want to be met inside. Without a meet-and-greet, the day-of message tells you where to go, and the airport's ground-transportation signs lead there.
Getting between LaGuardia and the city
From Midtown and the East Side, the usual approaches are the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge to the Grand Central Parkway, the Queensboro Bridge across to Northern Boulevard, or the Queens-Midtown Tunnel to the Long Island Expressway and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. From the West Side the car may come across on the RFK. From Brooklyn, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway runs north to the airport. Westchester and Connecticut travelers usually come down the Hutchinson River Parkway or I-95 to the Whitestone or Throgs Neck Bridge. The chauffeur chooses on the day, and this page does not promise a drive time because the Grand Central Parkway can change its mind in ten minutes.
Tolls depend on the crossing. The RFK Bridge and the Queens-Midtown Tunnel are tolled; the Queensboro Bridge is not.
Choosing a class for LaGuardia
Business travelers on a day trip often need nothing more than a sedan. Families heading to Florida in February usually need an SUV. Teams flying to an off-site need a Sprinter.
| Vehicle class | Hourly rate | Minimum | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | $120 / hour (all-in) | 3 hours ($360) | 1 to 3 passengers, light luggage |
| SUV | $150 / hour (all-in) | 3 hours ($450) | Up to 6 passengers or heavier bags |
| S-Class | $175 / hour (starting) | 3 hours ($525) | Executive sedan trips |
| Sprinter | $200 / hour (starting) | 3 hours ($600) | Groups and extra cargo |
Sedan and SUV hourly rates are all-in, including gratuity and fees. S-Class and Sprinter are starting rates; the booking form confirms the final price.
- Sedan, $120 all-in per hour: one or two passengers with light luggage.
- SUV, $150 all-in per hour: up to about six passengers or heavier bags.
- S-Class starting at $175 per hour: the executive sedan class.
- Sprinter starting at $200 per hour: groups of about 12 to 14 and extra cargo.
The 3-hour minimum applies to each class, so the shortest sedan reservation is $360 and the shortest SUV reservation is $450. If the traveler lands for a single meeting in Midtown and flies back out the same evening, an hourly charter that keeps the car through the day is usually cleaner than two separate transfers. Class details are on the fleet page.

Frequently asked questions
Which LaGuardia terminal should I put on the reservation?
Use the terminal on your airline itinerary: A, B or C. The three are separate buildings with their own roadways, so a booking that only says LaGuardia leaves the chauffeur guessing. Confirm the terminal the evening before you fly.
Does LaGuardia cost less than JFK by private car?
The hourly floors are the same at every airport: sedan $120 all-in, SUV $150 all-in, S-Class starting at $175 and Sprinter starting at $200, each with a 3-hour minimum. Sedan and SUV hourly rates are all-in, including gratuity and fees. S-Class and Sprinter are starting rates; the booking form confirms the final price.
Can the chauffeur meet me at baggage claim?
Ask for a meet-and-greet on the reservation if you want to be met inside. Otherwise the day-of message names the pickup point and you follow the marked ground-transportation signs to it.
Which bridge will the car take into Manhattan?
The usual choices are the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, the Queensboro Bridge and the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. The chauffeur picks the approach on the day.
How far ahead should I book a LaGuardia pickup?
Book once the flight and passenger list are stable. Early-morning departures, holiday weekends, SUVs and Sprinters fill earlier than a weekday sedan. Same-day requests depend on a car in the requested class still being free.
