Why Choose RideSoHo for EWR to LGA

Chauffeurs

Licensed to cross the river

Every chauffeur carries an NYC TLC license, granted after fingerprinting, a criminal background check, drug screening and a review of driving history, and wears a suit and tie.
Base

TLC Base B03644

The base at 230 Park Avenue is staffed through the night, which suits the last connections of the day.
Flights

Arrival followed

We track your inbound flight and keep your onward departure in mind when planning the pickup.
Luggage

Bags loaded at both ends

The chauffeur handles your luggage at Newark and again at LaGuardia, so you never carry it between terminals.
Pricing

Flat rate, tolls included

Turnpike, tunnel and bridge tolls sit inside the quote, which matters on a route that crosses so many of them.
Vehicles

Space for the whole party

Sedans, SUVs and Sprinters for individuals, families and teams.
Arrivals

Meet & Greet, $25

A chauffeur holding your name waits in the arrivals hall.
Notice

Newark to LaGuardia Questions

How long is the drive from Newark Airport to LaGuardia?

In normal traffic the trip takes about 40 to 70 minutes, crossing the Hudson and then Manhattan or the outer boroughs to northern Queens. A tunnel queue or a bad day on the Grand Central Parkway can stretch it to nearly two hours.

You are quoted one flat fare when you book, and tolls are included. Vehicle choice and time of day shape the figure, and it does not change with traffic.

The chauffeur normally uses the New Jersey Turnpike to the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel, then crosses the city to the Triborough Bridge or the Queensboro Bridge. The best path depends on the conditions that day.

Between airports in two states, allow for baggage claim, the drive, check-in and security. Dispatch will say plainly if your connection looks too tight for a ground transfer.

Yes. Share your flight number and we track the arrival, so the pickup shifts with the real landing and a delay does not add to your fare.

Yes. For $25, Meet & Greet puts the chauffeur in the arrivals area with a name sign and carries your bags. The chauffeur also unloads them at LaGuardia.

Yes. Sedans, SUVs and Sprinters are available, and each child seat is $10 and installed before pickup.

A Newark pickup is outside the five boroughs, so changes must allow the drive from New York plus 4 hours. Cancelling 24 hours or more ahead is free, and dispatch quotes hourly service in New Jersey case by case.
