Airport pickup at LaGuardia is different from JFK, and the differences decide the plan. LaGuardia has no AirTrain, its terminals are B, C, and the Marine Air Terminal, and the free Q70 bus is the transit link to the subway. A JetBlack pickup at LaGuardia is a private car for your party, booked ahead, at a per-trip written quote, with flight tracking and pickup timed to your actual arrival. This page covers terminals, prices, and pickup points honestly. For the Manhattan comparison, see our best way from LaGuardia to Manhattan guide.
Terminals and where pickup happens
LaGuardia serves Terminal B, Terminal C, and the Marine Air Terminal. Rideshare pickups at Terminal C happen on Level 2 of the parking garage, not at the arrivals curb, which is a common source of confusion. A JetBlack pickup is arranged at an agreed point for your terminal, and the default is express curbside; meet and greet inside the terminal is an extra. Give your terminal and flight number when you book, so the driver is at the right place.
Prices from LaGuardia
- Metered taxi: typically $35 to $52 before tolls and tip. Taxis from LaGuardia are metered, not flat.
- Transit: the Q70 bus is free, plus a $3.00 subway ride, for a $3.00 trip into the subway system.
- Shared vans: about $20 to $35 per person, with stops for other passengers.
