Neither has a fixed price from LaGuardia Airport. Yellow taxis run on the meter and add an airport fee, tolls and tip, and Uber and Lyft raise prices when demand climbs. A pre-booked LaGuardia car service sets your price at booking, with tolls and tip included, so traffic doesn’t change it.
Yes, Uber and Lyft can pick up at LaGuardia Airport, from signed Ride App Pick Up areas, and the app shows you the exact spot at your terminal. With Gotham Ride you skip that search: your chauffeur meets you at the curb, or inside at baggage claim if you book meet and greet.

Yes, you choose the car class for your LaGuardia ride when you book: Business Class Sedan, Comfort Van, Business SUV, First Class Sedan, First Class SUV, or Business Sprinter Van. You’re guaranteed that vehicle category. Specific make/model may vary (e.g., Mercedes E-Class or Audi A6 for a Business Class Sedan).
