MMB Posted December 17, 2005 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2005 My family will be on the Crown Princess this June. What is the best transportation from LGA to hotel in lower Manhatten? We have been looking at limos, what are some good companies to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted December 18, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 18, 2005 It's easy and cheaper to use a taxi. Right outside of baggage claim there is a taxi queue and it's never a problem to get one. I have the phone numbers of some car services, but not limo companies. If that'll do, let me know and I'll give them to you. BTW, never take the guys standing outside of baggage claim who ask "do you need a taxi?". These are NOT taxi's - taxi's are not allowed to solicit business. These are private car services. Many of them are legit and competively priced, but too many of them are rip off's. Avoid them. Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereuare Posted December 18, 2005 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I too would just take a taxi (except if you're a family of 4 and don't think that you'll be able to fit in one taxi with your luggage) LGA to Downtown should be about $25 by taxi (extremely variable depending upon traffic)... but unless traffic is backed up on the BQE i would have the driver take one of the free bridges (Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg) rather than the Midtown Tunnel ($3.50 toll). Getting a taxi is easy, but there is often a line to get one... it can look pretty bad but the line goes somewhat fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted December 19, 2005 #4 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Trunks in those cabs are huge so unless you are a family of gross overpackers, it will fit. Those trunks will easily fit two-three very large suitcases and four small ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
