Terminal A: no airline flights since May 2026
Terminal A has had no airline flights since May 2026, so airline passengers arrive at Terminal B or Terminal C.
For private flights, we meet arrivals at JFK, Newark, Teterboro (TEB), Westchester (HPN), Republic (FRG), Long Island MacArthur (ISP), Morristown (MMU), East Hampton (HTO), Gabreski in Westhampton Beach (FOK) and Trenton-Mercer (TTN); your chauffeur meets you in the FBO lobby, or planeside when the FBO allows it.
Terminal B: Level 2 of the parking garage
Terminal B car-service pickup is on Level 2 of the Terminal B parking garage. From the terminal, follow the Car Services signs into the garage and use the designated loading area.
Air Canada, American, Frontier, JetBlue, Porter, Southwest and United use Terminal B. Check your airline's trip details before you leave, especially when picking up another traveler. Once you reach Level 2, keep your group together and have bags ready before the vehicle arrives at the loading point.
Terminal C: arrivals inner lane
Terminal C car-service pickup is on the arrivals level in the inner lane. Follow Car Services signs after baggage claim and keep your party together as you reach the pickup area.
Delta uses Terminal C. If you are meeting someone, agree on the terminal and the signed pickup area before you start driving. Terminal C's arrivals inner lane is also the airport's pickup area for rideshare apps, so use the signs that match the service you booked.
Which airlines use Terminal B and Terminal C?
Terminal B serves seven airlines, while Terminal C is Delta's terminal. Use this quick list to check the terminal before arranging a pickup.
| Terminal | Commercial airline service | Car-service pickup |
|---|---|---|
| A | No airline flights since May 2026 | No airline arrivals to meet |
| B | Air Canada, American, Frontier, JetBlue, Porter, Southwest and United | Parking garage, Level 2, follow Car Services signs |
| C | Delta | Arrivals level, inner lane, follow Car Services signs |
What is the LaGuardia airport pickup area by terminal and mode?
For booked car service, use the airport's signed car-service area; private cars and rideshare apps follow their own pickup instructions. The table separates the main commercial terminals so you can direct your passenger to the right place.
| Terminal | Personal car | Booked car service | Rideshare app |
|---|---|---|---|
| B | Wait at the Cell Phone Lot, then follow current passenger pickup signs for active loading | Parking garage Level 2, Car Services signs | Parking garage Level 2, Ride App Pick Up signs |
| C | Wait at the Cell Phone Lot, then follow current passenger pickup signs for active loading | Arrivals level, inner lane, Car Services signs | Arrivals level, inner lane, Ride App Pick Up signs |
The terminal frontage is for active loading. Have the passenger and bags ready before entering the pickup lane; unattended vehicles can be towed. For a booked car service, follow the Car Services signs rather than a taxi queue or a rideshare-app sign.
Where should you wait for an arriving passenger at LGA?
Drivers waiting for a passenger can use LaGuardia's free Cell Phone Lot on 94th Street, between 23rd Avenue and Ditmars Boulevard. It is off-airport and open daily from 7:00 AM to 11:59 PM.
Wait there until your traveler has landed, collected bags and is ready to walk to the signed pickup area. Then drive to the terminal they are using. The lot gives you a place to wait without occupying the active loading curb while the passenger is still inside.
How do you get from LGA Terminal B to C?
For an LGA Terminal B to C transfer, use the pedestrian path between the terminals or take the free All Terminals Shuttle, which runs 24 hours a day. The shuttle operates every 15 minutes during peak hours and every 20 minutes during off-peak hours.
Follow airport signs for the terminal connection. The shuttle has stops at each terminal, and the airport provides live shuttle tracking. If your traveler exits at the wrong terminal, share the terminal name and use the pedestrian connection or shuttle before arranging the final pickup.
How does a True North VIP chauffeur meet you at LGA?
Without meet and greet, your chauffeur meets you at the terminal's permitted car-service pickup area. At LaGuardia, car service pickups for Terminal B are on Level 2 of the Terminal B parking garage, and Terminal C pickups are in the arrivals inner lane. Terminal A has had no airline flights since May 2026. Add your flight number when booking and we track the flight.
After landing, collect your bags and gather your party before heading to the car-service area. Keep your phone available so you can coordinate the handoff with the chauffeur. If the sign or terminal assignment is unclear, call 888-887-0324 for help.
Accessibility, strollers and airline assistance
Request airline assistance at least 24 hours before the flight if a traveler needs help with luggage or moving through the terminal. Airline assistance and the car-service booking are separate arrangements.
If a stroller, mobility device or several bags are part of the trip, include those details with your party size and bag count when booking. We can use that information to help select a vehicle. You can also arrange airport meet and greet for an indoor meeting and luggage help.
After landing: prepare for the car handoff
There is a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing. Flight tracking is included, so add the flight number when you book and keep your phone available after landing.
Many international flights arriving at LaGuardia have completed U.S. immigration and customs before boarding, including some flights from Canada. Follow your airline's arrival instructions, collect all checked bags and then head to your terminal's car-service area. If you need to share an update with another traveler, use these airport pickup message templates.
How does meet and greet work at LGA?
A $25 meet-and-greet add-on means your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name sign and helps with luggage. The vehicle remains at the terminal's permitted pickup area, so the indoor meeting and car loading are separate steps.
A $150 dedicated greeter is a separate option: a greeter waits inside the terminal, which can help during terminal construction or for VIP arrivals. Choose the meeting arrangement that fits your party, then follow the airport signs to the vehicle pickup area.
Which vehicle fits your group and luggage?
Choose a vehicle by passenger count, then enter your bag count when booking because luggage capacity depends on the vehicle. The passenger limits are:
| Vehicle | Passenger capacity | Pricing note |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan | Up to 2 | Distance-based price shown before booking |
| Luxury Sedan | Up to 3 | Distance-based price shown before booking |
| Executive SUV | Up to 6 | Distance-based price shown before booking |
| Luxury SUV | Up to 6 | Distance-based price shown before booking |
| Executive Sprinter | Up to 13 | Quoted on request |
| Jet Sprinter | Up to 10 | Quoted on request |
Child seats cost $25 each and are available in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans. Add the request to your trip details and review child-seat information for NYC car service when planning a family airport ride.
