LaGuardia Airport Taxi

LGA Taxi Information

Taxi service is available in front of all terminals. Ground transportation information counters, located on the lower baggage claim level of all terminals, provide information and reservations for buses, shared-ride vans and private cars or limousines. You can call 1 (800)-AIR-RIDE for information on authorized transportation services.

As always, disregard offers of transportation from solicitors in the terminal.
