Official yellow taxis are available at designated taxi stands outside each terminal. Fares are metered, plus any applicable tolls and surcharges. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft also operate at LGA with designated pickup areas outside the terminals.
Rental car companies are located off-site. Free shuttle buses are provided to take passengers from the terminal arrivals level to the rental car facilities. Major companies include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and National.
LaGuardia is connected to the city's public transit system via bus. The free Q70-SBS LaGuardia Link bus provides a non-stop connection to the subway (E, F, M, R, 7 lines) and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). The M60-SBS bus connects to Manhattan (Harlem) and several subway lines. Fares can be paid using OMNY or a MetroCard.
A Brand New Modern Airport! I Am Glad To Only Be A 15 Minute Drive FROM It.
I Like How My Closest Airport To Me Got Changed ENTIRELY, The Terminals Are Now Different, and More Signs And Services Have Been Built
The terminals numbering system is extremely confusing. Kindly add more signs.
Early in the morning of 1 August 2009, LaGuardia was evacuated because of a passenger carrying a fake bomb, resulting in huge delays:

LaGuardia has customs available for general aviation, but unlike EWR and JFK, it doesn't have a separate international section with customs lines, etc. As a result, it handles only domestic U.S. scheduled airline flights, as well as a few from Canadian airports that have U.S. customs preclearance facilities. A lot of its traffic is shuttles up and down the east coast and out to Chicago.
It was a huge deal for me when Ottawa added customs preclearance in the late 1990s, because then I could fly from YOW straight to LGA and take a cheap, fast taxi ride into midtown for business meetings, instead of having to fly to Newark and take a long, slow cab ride in, then try to bribe a NYC cabbie to take me all the way back out to Newark for a late afternoon flight home.
The best way into Manhattan is just to take a NYC cab. It's a pretty fast and reasonably cheap ride in if traffic permits.
