Best LaGuardia (LGA) Flat-Rate Car Services (2026)
LGA is metered-only by taxi. These car services quote a flat LaGuardia fare instead.
LaGuardia is the closest airport to Midtown and the cheapest of the three by flat car fare — but by taxi it is strictly metered plus a $5 surcharge, so the final number depends on traffic on the Grand Central or BQE. A car service quotes LGA flat. We ranked the operators on transparency and on how they handle a short trip that traffic can stretch.
