Flat-rate pricing and coordinated hotel pickups.
Times Square is about 8 miles from LaGuardia Airport by road, but Midtown congestion and bridge approaches make the travel time unpredictable. In light traffic, the ride is 25–40 minutes. During busy periods, 45–90 minutes is common—and you are paying for every minute if you are in a metered taxi.
Unlike JFK, there is no flat taxi fare to LaGuardia. Per NYC TLC rules, taxi trips are fully metered with a $5 LGA surcharge, plus rush-hour ($2.50, 4–8 PM) and overnight ($1, 8 PM–6 AM) surcharges. A 40-minute ride in moderate traffic typically meters between $35 and $55 before tip. During gridlock, that number climbs past $65.
A pre-booked airport car service eliminates this uncertainty. You pay a flat rate quoted at booking, your chauffeur coordinates a side-street pickup away from Broadway bus lanes, and every LGA transfer includes complimentary flight tracking. For arrivals, 60 minutes of wait time is included for domestic flights and 90 minutes for international. Add meet & greet ($25) for terminal-side assistance.
Broadway and Seventh Avenue are bus lanes and pedestrian plazas—no one can pick you up there. Here is where your chauffeur actually stages.
Most Times Square hotels have a side-street entrance or loading zone between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. These cross streets are narrow but allow brief curbside stops for luggage loading. Your chauffeur texts when staged on your specific block—walk out the side door, not the Broadway entrance.
Eighth Avenue (northbound) between 42nd and 50th offers loading zones near Port Authority and theater venues. However, dedicated bus lanes restrict standing during peak hours. Your chauffeur repositions east toward Sixth Avenue or stages on a side street if 8th Ave is restricted.
For hotels on or near Sixth Avenue (W 44th–54th), your chauffeur stages on a cross street between Fifth and Sixth. Once loaded, the fastest exit from Times Square is eastbound across the grid to the Queensboro Bridge or FDR Drive north—avoiding the worst of Broadway's congestion.
Times include cross-town traversal from the theater district, bridge crossing, and Grand Central Parkway approach to LGA terminals.

Times Square has an unusually clean transit path to LGA via the E train and Q70. Here is when it makes sense—and when car service wins.
