Hailing a cab is one way to transfer between New York City airports.
New York is often called the city that never sleeps. With three airports within just a few miles and hundreds of thousands of travelers coming into and leaving out of the city every day, the nickname is not much of a mystery. LaGuardia (LGA) and the Newark Liberty (EWR) are two of NYC's major airports though Newark is located in the state of New Jersey. If your NYC travel situation involves a transfer between LaGuardia and Newark you have several ways to get from one to the other.
Instructions
1. Hail a taxi. Both the Newark and LaGuardia airports are teeming with cabs outside baggage claim areas offering passengers a ride into the city or anywhere else in the area. See the uniformed taxi cab dispatcher in the ground transportation area and ask him to find a cab. Cabs in NYC accept cash and credit card payments. As of 2011, cab fare from LaGuardia to Newark is between $63 and $67, which includes a $10 surcharge but does not include tolls. It takes roughly 60 to 90 minutes to get from LGA to EWR by cab.
2. Book a car service prior to your arrival at either airport to transport you from one airport to the other. Go to the Ground Transportation Information counter in baggage claim to hire a limo or town car upon arrival. Fares vary based on the type of vehicle you rent and the time frame for travel is 60 to 90 minutes.
3. Use public transportation to get from one airport to another. Several shuttle services such as All County Express, ETS Air Shuttle and Express Bus Service transfer passengers between LaGuardia and Newark on a daily basis and often for a much less expensive price than a cab or car service.
All County Express and ETS Air Shuttle trips cost $32 and take between 45 and 60 minutes to get you to your next airport. Express Bus Service requires a transfer onto a second bus at the Port Authority Terminal in Manhattan. The cost of your first Express bus ride is $15 and $12 for your second bus ride, with total travel time 75 to 105 minutes. Prices are current through 2011.
