Quick answer

The best LaGuardia car service for 2026 is TrueNorth VIP, with an all-in Executive Sedan fare of $153 from LGA to Times Square that already covers taxes, tolls and fees.

Prices are what each company published on its own website when we checked in November 2026. They change, and taxes, tolls and gratuity are handled differently by each company, so confirm the total in writing before you book.

LaGuardia sits in northern Queens and is the closest of New York’s three major airports to Midtown. Most of its flights are domestic, and the drive into Manhattan is short. That makes it the cheapest airport in both fare lists we found, and the one where advertised prices are hardest to compare.

On a short ride, add-ons such as tolls and airport fees are a bigger share of a small fare, so a low starting price can move a long way. We ranked seven companies on the published LGA fare, what it includes, the domestic wait window, greeter options and vehicles.

Our top pick for 2026

1. TrueNorth VIP — Best for a known LaGuardia total before you book

Hourly from $110/hr · JFK to Times Square from $176, all-in

TrueNorth VIP wins at LaGuardia on certainty, not on the lowest sticker. Its Executive Sedan from LGA to Times Square is $153, with taxes, tolls and fees included and gratuity optional. An Executive SUV is $177, a Luxury SUV $208 and a Luxury Sedan $267. These are the lowest fares in TrueNorth’s whole airport table, because LaGuardia is the nearest airport to Midtown.

Carmel shows a sample LGA fare from $49 and Dial 7 a sedan rate from $55, and a bargain is possible with either. But Carmel’s quotes don’t always include tolls, and Dial 7’s rate excludes tolls, gratuity, and airport and congestion fees, plus a rush-hour fee. We can’t tell you what those add-ons will total on your ride. TrueNorth’s $153 is fixed before you book, which is what an expense policy or client invoice needs.

The service details fit a LaGuardia run. Flights are tracked and the chauffeur waits 60 minutes after a domestic landing, the kind most LGA arrivals are. A $25 meet and greet or a $150 dedicated greeter can be added, and 24/7 dispatch covers the first departures of the morning. TrueNorth holds a 5.0 Google rating from 49 reviews.

The downside

On a short LaGuardia hop, a low base fare can still finish below $153 once extras are added, so TrueNorth isn’t always the cheapest option. Its fares also run to Times Square only; an Upper East Side or Brooklyn address is priced when you book.

Best for: A known LaGuardia total before you book.

2. Artisan Limo — Best for companies booking LGA rides for staff in several cities

Price shown before booking · Sprinters and coaches quoted

Artisan Limo’s case at LaGuardia is the account behind the ride. It sets up corporate accounts for executive assistants, travel managers and event planners and runs the same service in seven U.S. markets, so a team that flies from LGA to Chicago or Atlanta can be met by one company at both ends.

Domestic arrivals get 60 minutes of wait from wheels-down. The price is displayed before you book with required trip charges included, and gratuity is optional. The fleet runs from Luxury and Executive Sedans to Escalade ESVs and Sprinters, with phone support around the clock.

Key facts

  • Corporate accounts for assistants, travel managers and event planners
  • Seven U.S. markets under one point of contact
  • 60 minutes of wait for domestic arrivals, from wheels-down
  • Price shown before booking; gratuity optional

Best for: Companies booking LGA rides for staff in several cities.

3. Black Car NYC — Best for LaGuardia trips to the North Shore or lower Westchester

Sedan $110/hr, 3-hour minimum · Airport fares quoted

LaGuardia is a natural airport for Long Island’s North Shore and lower Westchester, and Black Car NYC covers both along with all of New York City. Because it prices each airport transfer from the exact itinerary, a ride from LGA to Port Washington or Rye gets a real quote rather than a Times Square estimate.

It tracks flights and waits 60 minutes after a domestic landing, and terminal meet and greet is $25. A booking is confirmed only in writing, and cancellations 24 hours ahead get a full refund. Sedans run from E-Class to S-Class or 7 Series, with Escalade or Yukon SUVs for up to six. Ask whether tolls and gratuity are in the quote.

Key facts

  • Covers NYC, Long Island, Westchester and selected Connecticut and New Jersey destinations
  • Quote built from your itinerary; confirmed in writing
  • 60 minutes of wait after domestic landings
  • Meet and greet $25 at commercial terminals

Best for: LaGuardia trips to the North Shore or lower Westchester.

4. Carmel — Best for the lowest advertised LaGuardia fare

Carmel’s sample LaGuardia fare starts at $49, the lowest LGA figure we found, and the company has served New York since 1978. Booking runs through an app with referral credits and points. Quotes change with the time of day and sometimes leave out tolls, so open the price breakdown before you accept and compare the final number, not the headline.

Best for: The lowest advertised LaGuardia fare.

5. Dial 7 — Best for cheap LGA sedans with a long track record

Dial 7 publishes a sedan rate of $55 from LaGuardia to Manhattan and has operated from TLC base B00887 since 1977. The rate excludes tolls, gratuity, and airport and congestion fees, and a rush-hour fee applies. Its 600-plus vehicles include minivans and wheelchair-accessible vehicles, which helps if you need more than a sedan.

Best for: Cheap LGA sedans with a long track record.

6. Blacklane — Best for frequent flyers who book every city in one app

Blacklane builds 1 hour of complimentary wait into airport transfers and shows the price at booking. It is a platform listing 500-plus cities in 64-plus countries, and LaGuardia rides are carried out by local partners. That suits a frequent flyer who wants one app everywhere, though the operator depends on who is dispatched.

Best for: Frequent flyers who book every city in one app.

7. EmpireCLS — Best for business travelers already set up with a global provider

EmpireCLS, headquartered in Secaucus, New Jersey, states 40 years of chauffeured service and a network of 1,000-plus cities. Chauffeurs arrive 15 minutes before pickup, which helps on tight early departures from LaGuardia. It publishes no rates, so LGA trips are priced in its reservation system.

Best for: Business travelers already set up with a global provider.

LaGuardia car service: FAQs

How much is a car service from LaGuardia to Manhattan in 2026?

Published starting points run from $49 to $267. Carmel shows a sample fare from $49 and Dial 7 a sedan rate from $55, both before some or all extras. TrueNorth VIP charges $153 for an Executive Sedan to Times Square, up to $267 for a Luxury Sedan, with taxes, tolls and fees included.

Why is LaGuardia cheaper than JFK or Newark?

Distance. LaGuardia is the closest major airport to Midtown, so the fares are lower. TrueNorth VIP’s Executive Sedan is $153 from LGA, against $172 from Newark and $176 from JFK. Dial 7’s starting sedan rates show the same gap, at $55 from LGA and $69 from JFK before tolls and fees.

Is a $49 or $55 LaGuardia fare the real price?

Usually not the final one. Carmel’s quotes sometimes exclude tolls, and Dial 7’s rates exclude tolls, gratuity, and airport and congestion fees, with a rush-hour fee as well. The final total depends on your ride. Ask either company for the complete figure and set it against an all-in fare such as TrueNorth VIP’s $153.

How long will my driver wait at LaGuardia?

Sixty minutes after landing with TrueNorth VIP, Artisan Limo and Black Car NYC, since each tracks flights and most LaGuardia flights are domestic. Blacklane includes 1 hour of complimentary wait. For pickups away from the airport, TrueNorth and Black Car NYC allow 15 minutes.

Can I get an SUV from LaGuardia?

Yes. TrueNorth VIP lists an Executive SUV at $177 and a Luxury SUV at $208 from LGA to Times Square, each for up to six passengers. Black Car NYC offers Escalade or Yukon SUVs for up to six, priced by itinerary. TrueNorth’s Executive Sedan holds two, so book an SUV for a family or a small team.

Can I book a LaGuardia car for a late-night or early flight?

Yes, with the top picks. TrueNorth VIP runs 24/7 dispatch and online booking, and Artisan Limo takes online requests and phone calls 24/7. Black Car NYC tracks flights, so a late landing moves the pickup with it. Carmel’s app quotes vary by time of day, so check the price for your hour.
