How do you get from LaGuardia to Brooklyn by car?
The hotel listing gives a separate estimate of 25 minutes for a taxi trip from the airport; it is an estimate, not a guaranteed travel time. Road and traffic conditions can affect how long the trip takes, so allow flexibility when coordinating your arrival.
If someone is picking you up, LaGuardia says terminal curbsides are for active pickups and drop-offs only. Parking is not allowed on airport roadways or terminal frontages, and unattended vehicles will be towed.
The airport’s free Cell Phone Lot is off-airport on 94th Street between 23rd Avenue and Ditmars Boulevard; it is open seven days a week from 7:00 AM to 11:59 PM ET.
What public transit options connect LaGuardia and Brooklyn?
LaGuardia’s Q70 LaGuardia Link is a free bus connection from Terminals B and C to subway stations, while the M60-SBS serves Terminals A, B and C. You’ll need to continue by subway from one of the bus connections to reach the Brooklyn area; the supplied facts do not specify a complete station-by-station route to the inn.
The Q70 connects to the E, F, M, R and 7 trains at Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue/74 St-Broadway. At Woodside-61 St, it connects with the 7 train and Long Island Rail Road. LaGuardia describes the Q70 as nonstop, with a 15-minute ride and buses every 8–10 minutes.
The M60-SBS connects at Astoria Boulevard with the N and W trains, and at 125 St (Lexington Avenue) with the 4, 5 and 6 trains.
You can pay on the bus with OMNY, or use a MetroCard or coins before boarding curbside. These connections and service details can change, so check the official site before you go; the source for airport transit information is LaGuardia Airport.
Taxi and rideshare options at LaGuardia
Licensed taxis are available outside each terminal, and Uber and Lyft have marked pickup areas outside the terminals. For a taxi, follow the official stand’s line; a dispatcher directs passengers to the next available cab, and reservations are not needed.
LaGuardia lists an estimated taxi fare of $28–$50 for Downtown and MetroTech in Brooklyn. That estimate is not a quote for the inn’s address and excludes tips, tolls and MTA congestion pricing.
The airport also lists additional taxi charges: a $1.00 weekday peak-time surcharge from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET, a $0.50 daily surcharge from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM ET, a $0.50 New York State tax for trips within New York, and a $2.00 airport access fee for pickups.
Use only the official airport taxi stand, and do not accept rides from people soliciting inside the terminal. If you need a wheelchair-accessible taxi, LaGuardia says you can request one through Accessible Dispatch or apps including Curb and Arro. Accessible Dispatch lists +1 (646)-599-9999 for calls and +1 (646)-400-0789 for texts.
Plan your arrival and check-in
The hotel listing gives check-in at 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. If your flight timing and check-in do not line up, factor that into your arrival plan rather than assuming the room will be ready earlier. You can also use the nearby Halsey Street station as a reference point when arranging the final leg of your trip.
