Travel Time
How long does it take to get from JFK to LaGuardia?
JFK to LaGuardia is 11.6 miles. The Port Authority puts the typical drive at 30 to 60 minutes. Off-peak, the typical drive is 30 to 40 minutes. In weekday rush hours, 7 to 10 AM and 3:30 to 7:30 PM, the typical drive is 45 to 60 minutes. Times vary with traffic; your chauffeur tracks it live.
Route
Which route does the chauffeur take from JFK to LaGuardia?
Your chauffeur takes the Van Wyck Expressway (I-678) north past the Kew Gardens Interchange onto the Whitestone Expressway, exits at Astoria Boulevard, and takes 94th Street north into LaGuardia’s Terminal B and C roadways. The consumer route uses the Grand Central Parkway. Every Chauffeur Service NYC vehicle is commercial-plated, and commercial vehicles are barred from parkways, so we never use it. NYC DOT lists Astoria Boulevard and 94th Street on the city’s truck route network, so they are open to commercial traffic. The route is fixed and fast, and the airport fees on both ends are inside your fare.
Connections
How much time do I need between flights at JFK and LaGuardia?
Allow at least 3 hours between landing at JFK and departing LaGuardia on a domestic itinerary, and 4 hours 30 minutes after an international arrival. On separate tickets, you collect your checked bags at JFK, travel to LaGuardia, check in and drop bags again with your departing airline, and clear TSA security again. Count backward from your second airline’s bag-drop cutoff:
| Step | Domestic arrival at JFK | International arrival at JFK |
|---|---|---|
| Deplane, customs, baggage claim | 30 to 45 min | 60 to 90 min |
| Walk to the car-service pickup | 10 to 20 min | 10 to 20 min |
| Typical drive, JFK to LaGuardia | 30 to 60 min | 30 to 60 min |
| Arrive before the bag-drop cutoff | 45 to 60 min before departure | 45 to 60 min before departure |
| Planning standard | 3 hours minimum | 4 hours 30 minutes minimum |
For a connection inside our planning standard, book the Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series or an SUV with meet and greet (+$25). Your chauffeur waits inside with a name sign so you walk straight to the car.

Where does the chauffeur meet me at JFK?
Your chauffeur meets you at your terminal’s designated car-service pickup, which we text to you after landing. Curbside pickup is included, and meet and greet inside the terminal is +$25. At Terminals 5 and 7, the Port Authority sends arriving car-service passengers on the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach Ride App and Car Services lot, and your car waits there. Terminal steps are in our JFK Terminals 5/7 pickup guide and JFK Terminals 1/4/8 pickup guide. We track your flight, so a delay never uses up your free wait.

Compare
Is a car better than the AirTrain, subway and Q70 bus?
Yes, for anyone with checked bags. The transit route takes three legs: AirTrain JFK to Jamaica ($8.75), the E train 4 stops to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue, then the free Q70 LaGuardia Link bus. That means carrying every bag through two transfers.
| Option | Legs | Luggage handling | Price certainty | Free airport wait |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chauffeur Service NYC | 1, terminal to terminal | Chauffeur loads every bag | All-in fare fixed at booking | 60 min domestic / 90 min international, from landing |
| AirTrain + E train + Q70 | 3 | You carry bags through stations and onto a bus | Separate fares | Not applicable |
| Yellow taxi | 1 | Driver-dependent | Meter plus tolls and surcharges | None, taxi line |
| Typical NYC black car services | 1 | Chauffeur | Fixed quote | 45 min domestic / 60 min international |
Can I book hourly for a long layover?
Yes, hourly service starts at $110 per hour for the Executive Sedan with a 3-hour minimum ($330). It includes tolls and unlimited stops within the booked hours, so you can add a lunch in Queens or a meeting in Manhattan between JFK and LaGuardia. See hourly chauffeur service NYC.
