LaGuardia Airport Car Service by Terminal

LaGuardia Airport has 3 active terminals: Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal C. Provide your terminal at booking and our dispatch positions the chauffeur at the correct baggage claim.

  • About Terminal A: Terminal A is the historic Marine Air Terminal, the oldest active commercial terminal in the United States. Built in 1940, it serves a small number of carriers and is significantly smaller than Terminals B and C.
  • Airlines at Terminal A: Terminal A serves select charter flights and smaller regional carriers. Confirm your terminal assignment when booking.
  • Pickup: Chauffeur positioned at Terminal A arrivals with name sign. Terminal A is smaller and faster to clear than Terminals B and C.
  • About Terminal B: Terminal B is the newly completed main terminal, part of the comprehensive LaGuardia renovation completed in 2022. It features modern facilities, improved traffic flow, and updated ground transportation access.
  • Airlines at Terminal B: Terminal B serves American Airlines (most domestic routes), Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and other major domestic carriers.
  • Pickup: Chauffeur positioned at Terminal B baggage claim arrivals level. Terminal B has improved curbside access and clearer ground transportation zones compared to the old terminals.
  • About Terminal C: Terminal C is the dedicated Delta Air Lines terminal at LGA. Delta operates the majority of its LGA flights from Terminal C, including domestic mainline and Delta Connection regional services.
  • Airlines at Terminal C: Delta Air Lines and Delta Connection regional carriers. Terminal C handles the highest volume of domestic business travelers at LGA.
  • Pickup: Chauffeur at Terminal C baggage claim with name sign. Delta arrives on tight schedules at Terminal C. Our dispatch pre-positions the chauffeur before the flight lands.

Why Choose Empire Limousine for LaGuardia Airport Chauffeur Service

Meet and Greet at Baggage Claim

Inside arrivals hall on every booking: Your chauffeur stands inside the terminal at baggage claim, not at curbside in the Grand Central Parkway traffic loop. You exit arrivals and walk directly to the name sign. No searching the curb. No negotiating with cabs.

Our Guarantee on Every LGA Booking

Three commitments apply to every LaGuardia Airport chauffeur service booking. No exceptions.

Your LGA chauffeur service rate never changes

Your chauffeur is inside baggage claim before you arrive

Every booking. Your chauffeur arrives at the correct LGA terminal 15 minutes before the confirmed landing time and is positioned at baggage claim. You never wait at the curbside taxi line or in the Grand Central Parkway pickup loop.

Flight delays never cost you more

If your flight is delayed, the chauffeur adjusts automatically. No rebooking required. No additional charge for the wait. Your 60-minute free wait window starts when your flight actually lands, not the scheduled arrival time. Call +1 (877) 664-3030 for any changes.

LaGuardia Airport Chauffeur Service vs Rideshare

LaGuardia Airport (LGA) has a specific congestion problem. The Grand Central Parkway funnels all LGA ground traffic through one access road. During peak hours, rideshare drivers sit in that queue and cancel or time out. Here is what changes when you pre-book.

The Grand Central Parkway is LGA’s single access road. On-demand rideshare drivers enter a single-entry queue on the Parkway during peak hours. Pre-booked chauffeur service positions the driver in the correct terminal holding area before congestion builds, not inside the queue when the driver is already waiting.

Trusted by Executive Travelers

Empire Limousine has built a reputation for punctuality, professionalism, and a genuinely elevated travel experience. Here is what clients across industries have said about our luxury chauffeur service.

“We fly into LGA Terminal C every Monday morning on the Delta shuttle from Boston. Empire Limousine has been our LGA ground service for two years. The chauffeur is at baggage claim every single time before we get there. The rate has never changed on us. For a weekly booking, that consistency is everything.”
“Our flight from Chicago landed 50 minutes late on a Monday evening at LaGuardia. The chauffeur was still there. He had tracked the delay, moved his pickup time, and was standing at Terminal B baggage claim with the name sign when we walked out. The invoice was the same rate we booked 3 weeks earlier. That is the only way to fly into LGA for business.”
“Four of us came in from different flights at LGA on the same morning, two at Terminal B and two at Terminal C. Empire coordinated both pickups under our corporate account. One invoice at month end. All four were in vehicles within 10 minutes of landing. No one stood on the Grand Central Parkway loop waiting.”
