A car service from LaGuardia Airport is a private car at a per-trip written quote — not a flat rate, and not a taxi. Taxis at LaGuardia are metered, not flat-rate: typically $35–$52 to Manhattan before tolls and tip. A JetBlack private car costs more than a metered taxi and buys you a reserved vehicle, flight tracking, and a price agreed before you travel instead of a meter that runs in traffic.
Your Options from LaGuardia
- Metered taxi: typically $35–$52 to Manhattan before tolls and tip. The taxi line at LaGuardia moves fast, and the meter is the honest price for a solo traveler with light luggage.
- Q70 bus + subway: the Q70 bus is free, and the subway is $3.00 — the cheapest way into Manhattan, and often nearly as fast as a car outside rush hour.
- M60 bus: $3.00, a useful option for Upper Manhattan destinations.
- Shared vans: typically about $20–$35 per person, with pickup windows rather than a fixed departure.
- JetBlack private car: a per-trip written quote agreed before travel. Published hourly rates run from $45 per hour for an economy sedan (three-hour minimum) through $144 per hour for a stretch limousine (four-hour minimum), with a standard Sprinter at $130 per hour.
What the JetBlack Price Covers — and What It Does Not
Gratuity is not included — 20% is suggested — and rates exclude tolls, tip, and governmental fees. Cancellation is $31 in total: a $25 fee plus $5 in fees plus a $1 technology fee. Child seats are about $35 per seat, confirmed at booking, never free. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available, with specifications and pricing confirmed at booking only. Flight tracking is included on airport pickups, express curbside pickup is the default, and meet and greet is an extra. JetBlack has offered private car service in New York since 2010, with 24/7 dispatch.
