NYC Airport Car Service: JFK vs LGA vs EWR — Which to Book
From Midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia (LGA) is the closest at 8 miles and a $75 sedan flat rate, JFK is 15 miles at $95, and Newark (EWR) is 16 miles at $95. LGA is fastest off-peak (20 minutes); JFK and EWR both run 35–45 minutes off-peak and 60–75 in rush hour. All three include flight tracking, meet-and-greet, and flat-rate pricing with no surge.
LaGuardia (LGA) — closest to Midtown
LaGuardia sits 8 miles east of Midtown via the Grand Central Parkway and the Queensboro Bridge or BQE. Off-peak the drive is about 20 minutes; during rush it stretches to 30–40. The Executive Sedan flat rate is $75.
LGA's rebuilt Terminal B and C are straightforward for pickups — the chauffeur meets you at baggage claim with a name plate. It is the best pick for short domestic hops when timing is tight.
JFK — international gateway
John F. Kennedy International is 15 miles southeast of Midtown via the Long Island Expressway and Van Wyck. Expect 45 minutes off-peak and 60–75 in rush. The sedan flat rate is $95, and international arrivals get 60 minutes of complimentary wait.
With eight terminals and heavy customs traffic, JFK is where flight tracking earns its keep — the chauffeur stages against the actual aircraft position, not the published schedule.
Newark (EWR) — best for West Side and NJ
Newark Liberty is 16 miles southwest via the Lincoln Tunnel and NJ Turnpike, roughly 35 minutes off-peak and up to 75 in rush. The sedan flat rate is $95, tunnel tolls included.
For travelers on Manhattan's West Side, in Jersey City, or connecting through United's Terminal C hub, EWR is frequently the faster and more comfortable choice despite the river crossing.
