Car rental LaGuardia Airport

New York is a surprisingly easy city to drive in as streets and parking lots are in general quite broad. Despite this, a smaller vehicle is always easier to drive around the city.

When planning a round trip through the United States, a larger rental car might be better for you. Plan ahead and book the car that suits your needs best!

Car hire LaGuardia Airport

LaGuardia airport in New York is currently the third busiest airport in the city and the 20th busiest in the United States. Despite being ‘only’ New York’s third airport, LaGuardia still handles about 30 million passengers per year. The airport was quite old-fashioned and therefore, it has been under construction since 2016. Plans are to completely replace the existing airport. Renovations are planned to finish in 2021.

Give yourself plenty of time to get to the airport. Wear slip on shoes to facilitate airport screening. Put everything you think you’ll need on the bed when packing and then take out half before you pack to avoid overweight fees. Make sure passport is up to date. Memorize a simple greeting if going to a foreign country. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.

LaGuardia is under construction so you might find it a little confusing to navigate at this time. But it is certainly less hectic than JFK, so if you can travel into that airport, it would be best to do so. It is also certainly the easiest airport to rent a car, since the airport isn’t as massive. Even though Dollar isn’t mentioned on every car rental sign, the shuttle to the car rental lot takes you straight to the Dollar shuttle, and it’s only a short trip away. Don’t forget: Dollar does not accept Apple Card. However, contrary to what your car rental agency may tell you, Dollar does accept debit cards.

Southwest counter people were very helpful. The only downside is that Southwest no longer flies to Newark so we had to go to La Guardia. NY traffic is tough to drive through even with GPS assistance !

The cheapest place to make a reservation for a car. All went as arranged. It is very easy to find the rent a car service. They are connected by bus. Employees, there were very friendly and helpful. We were also told to choose the car from the marked area. Be aware of tolls on highways.

Avoid LaGuardia Airport Get there early Get rental car early in your vacation Check all web sites for better prices Takes an hour from terminal D via 2 buses to get to Budget Rental Counter. Plan enough time from dropping rental car off to get to your plane

Review the layout of the place before you get there. Know your gate: arrival and departure. If I knew how tricky it is to find the car rental place I would've studied that up as well. It takes 2 buses to get to the rental place from the airport!!! People in New York are generally helpful. Remember there are no trains to LaGuardia; you have to transfer to a bus.

We didn’t travel through LaGuardia. Traveled from the city to rent a car at a better price then in Manhattan.

Give yourself enough time as there are a lot of people constantly picking up at this location. be prepared to encounter some disgruntled & inpatient travelers. be patient!

Hmmmm. Plan ahead. Give yourself extra time to get to the airport, in between flights (don't book too close together). Clean up/shower up right before you leave to go to the airport and dress comfortably. Sounds silly but always makes you feel better when traveling. Also, always have your phone/laptop cord handy and keep your eye out for outlets so you can charge your devices during each layover, airport meal, etc. :)

We did not actually travel through La Guardia Airport as we flew into JFK. But we picked up our car from Laguardia. As you can tell, I am filling this out in hopes of being entered into the drawing. Let's be honest, who doesn't want free stuff when you're already filling out a survey? So I shall continue with this second to last sentence. And I thank you very much for your time and I hope this is helpful! (I feel like my 6th sentence ended on a good note)

Be patient. There is a lot of ongoing construction and related activity occurring at La Guardia, but there is a fairly efficient shuttle/bus system in place to get visitors to their next destination.

Make sure you research what insurance you already have and what you may need from the rental car place so that when they try to push things on you- you stand strong in your decisions.

Definitely go there with some extra time. Take car2go if you can because it’s easy and in the zone. Be prepared to wait for the car to be ready. Fill up before you return! Think about taxes when you pick up since it’s an extra cost. Determine whether you’ll actually need the ez pass - we paid for it and didn’t actually need it, losing about $60.

La Guardia's fine. They're making improvements. You can take the M60 bus instead of a taxi/ uber if you want to get into the city. Takes some time, but brings you to the Upper West Side.

There is a reason flights to LGA are cheaper. The airport is a mess and probably should be bull dozed down are relocated. I suggest anyone not needing to go to Manhattan fly into MacArthur. Otherwise Kennedy despite the extra cost. Leave plenty of time to get from or to LAG as traffic can be terrificly bad.

LGA is a fine airport. It's not as modern as JFK, the lines tend to be a bit slower, but it does the trick.

Be aware that it now takes 2 shuttles to get to and from the rental cars at LGA. It was difficult to schlep my luggage and wait in the cold through 2 shuttles after landing and getting my luggage in LGA. Going home wasn't as bad as I had checked my bags and only had one carry on. I landed at night but came back in the morning. However, security in LGA was quick and painless. Overall, my trip was enjoyable, and since I expected LGA to be a mess, it didn't mess me up terribly.

This company is located close enough to the airport to make an easy transfer, especially compared to some others. The facilities were very clean and welcoming. The staff provided quick, friendly service to get me into my car fast. They had the best rates for the time of year, so close to the holidays, and at the last minute. The car was very clean and was very reliable. I would recommend renting from this company.
