Getting to LaGuardia Airport looks different depending on where you are coming from. Travelers starting in Manhattan often have different needs than those coming from Brooklyn, Queens, Westchester County, or Long Island. Group size, luggage, and timing all play a role in choosing the right airport transportation.
GO Airlink serves LaGuardia with two airport-focused options. Shared ride service between Manhattan and LaGuardia works well for solo travelers and couples, while private vans are designed for groups of six or more traveling together with luggage. Both services offer scheduled pickups and curbside drop off at every terminal, making it easier to plan ahead instead of relying on last-minute availability.
Transportation options to LaGuardia Airport
LaGuardia does not have a direct subway or train connection, which leaves most travelers choosing between car based services, buses, or a mix of both. Each option has tradeoffs depending on where you are coming from and how many people are in your group.
GO Airlink provides shared ride airport shuttle service between Manhattan and LaGuardia, as well as private vans for groups of six or more with luggage. All pickups and drop offs take place curbside at every terminal, and vehicles are licensed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
If you are traveling from the other boroughs, Westchester or Nassau County, private service is typically the best fit. It avoids transfers, keeps your group together, and allows space for checked bags.
Why groups should consider a private van to LaGuardia
Groups often underestimate how quickly rideshare or taxi plans break down once luggage is involved. Even selecting an XL option does not guarantee space for six or more passengers plus suitcases.
Private vans from GO Airlink are designed for airport travel. Everyone rides together, bags stay with the group, and pickup times are scheduled in advance rather than relying on app availability.
This option is especially popular for:
-
Families flying out of LaGuardia
-
Corporate travelers coordinating a single departure
-
Groups coming from Westchester or Long Island hotels
-
Travelers with multiple checked bags or bulky items

Pro tip for LaGuardia travelers
Morning departures from LaGuardia are busiest between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM. Booking a private van allows your pickup time to be planned around traffic patterns instead of reacting to them.
Curbside pickup at every LaGuardia terminal
GO Airlink is authorized for curbside pickup and drop off at all LaGuardia terminals. Drivers meet passengers directly outside arrivals or departures, eliminating the need to walk to off airport zones or parking garages.
