Ways to get from LaGuardia Airport to Times Square

A private transfer booked ahead suits travellers who want a vehicle waiting after arrival, families with luggage, or anyone who prefers a planned pickup. A taxi from the airport rank is useful if you want to leave without arranging a car in advance. Use the official rank and follow airport instructions rather than accepting offers inside the arrivals area.

Public transport can suit lighter packers and travellers comfortable with connections. Check the airport and local transport provider for current routes, service changes and payment details.

Give accurate luggage details when booking, especially if you have bulky bags, sports equipment or a pushchair. If you need a child seat, request the appropriate arrangement in advance and confirm that it is available for your vehicle and child.
