LaGuardia Airport · LGA · Queens, New York
LaGuardia Car Service
Opulent Transport provides private black car and chauffeur service to and from LaGuardia Airport, 24 hours a day. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you at Terminal A, B, or C, and takes you directly to Midtown, the Upper East Side, Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Westchester. Your rate is quoted before you confirm, with no surge pricing.
LGA is the closest major airport to Manhattan and the one New York business travellers use for short trips. It has no subway connection, so a pre-booked LGA car service is often the simplest way to make a same-day meeting and a flight home.

Car service to LaGuardia. A short drive can still become a long one at 5 p.m., and a shuttle flight will not hold the door. We schedule your pickup to reach the terminal about two hours before departure, and earlier during weekday rush hours or the US Open.
LGA Terminals
Terminal A, B or C
Terminal B. The large rebuilt terminal used by American, United, Southwest, Air Canada, and others.
Terminal C. Delta's terminal, including its shuttle flights to Boston, Chicago, and Washington.
Terminal A. The historic Marine Air Terminal, a separate building on the far west side of the airport that is reached by road. It is not a short walk from the others, so check your ticket.
Airlines do change terminals here, so we confirm yours by flight number before you land.
Your Pickup
Off the Plane and Moving
Curbside. Most LaGuardia trips are short and many clients travel with a carry-on. Message your chauffeur as you walk off the plane, and they tell you where to come out and which vehicle to look for.
Meet and greet. Your chauffeur waits at baggage claim with a name sign and helps with your luggage.
Domestic arrivals include 30 minutes of complimentary wait time, counted from when the aircraft lands. LGA is prone to delays when New York weather closes in, and you never pay a waiting fee for an airline delay.
