Airports.....
New York City has three airports.
LaGuardia which handles mainly domestic flights. It is located in the Borough of Queens. You can use
public transportation to Manhattan
which will be $2.00. NYC
yellow taxicabs with toll and tip to Manhattan is about $18. Car
services and charter type buses will cost you whatever the going rate is and
whatever they can get out of you. Be very careful about establishing the cost
before entering the vehicle and make sure it is licensed by the City.
Kennedy Airport is the large international airport. It is also
located in the Borough of Queens. You can use public transportation to Manhattan which will cost you $2.00. You can use the train to
the plane for an additional $5.00. NYC yellow taxicabs is about $50 with tolls and tip. Car services and charter type buses will cost
you whatever the going rate is and whatever they can get out of you. Be very
careful about establishing the cost before entering the vehicle and make sure
it is licensed by the City.
Newark Airport handles both domestic and international flights and
it is located in the State of New Jersey. Taxicabs, car services and charter type buses will
cost you whatever the going rate is and whatever they can get out of you. Be
very careful about establishing the cost before entering the vehicle and make
sure it is licensed by the State of New Jersey.
At all of these airports, it is best to
contact the nearest police person and ask for his/her advice. The last thing
you want is to get into an unlicensed vehicle that has a driver that will rip
you off. It is unfortunate that your first contact with New York City will be one that requires you to be so on your toes and watching out for skullduggery.
Our garage will permit me to make a pickup if you are arriving
on the day of your tour and will also permit taking you to the airport for your
departure if it is on the day of your tour at absolutely no additional charge.
And, if you are coming and going on the same day of the tour, you can get both
the pickup and the departure.
Even if you are not taking a tour, I can
do an arrival or a departure. The garage charges $146 per each trip for this
service.
