Gotham Ride’s LGA page advertises flight tracking, 60 minutes of waiting and a $39 meet-and-greet option for the Business Class Sedan. Its route prices can change, so compare a current quote.

Dial 7 lists LaGuardia sedans from $55 before tolls, gratuity, airport and congestion fees or parking. Curbside service is dispatched when you report ready with your bags.
