Meeting your group at LaGuardia

LaGuardia runs from three terminals, A, B and C, and each has its own ground transportation curb. Give the airline and flight number on the booking and the chauffeur meets the group at the right terminal after baggage claim. Flight tracking is included, and the transfer carries 30 minutes of wait for domestic arrivals.

Because LaGuardia is so close to Midtown, many groups use it for same-day trips: in for a morning meeting, out on an evening flight. An hourly booking keeps the Sprinter with the group for the whole day.

Midtown drop-offs

The run ends anywhere in Midtown, from Grand Central and the Park Avenue towers to Times Square hotels, Hudson Yards and the Javits Center. Midtown avenues are busy, so the chauffeur will usually pull up on the side street closest to the entrance. Add every drop-off to the booking if the group is splitting across hotels.

Pricing for LaGuardia to Midtown

The Sprinter starts at $600 for the transfer, whichever layout you choose. Hourly service starts at $200 per hour with a 3-hour minimum, which is the better fit when the day includes meetings between the airport runs. Your quote confirms the final price, which can vary with taxes, tolls and availability; gratuity is separate.
