How far is LaGuardia from Stony Point?
LaGuardia Airport is about a 52-minute drive from Stony Point. That drive time gives you a point of reference for the airport-to-town trip, but it does not describe a public-transit journey or account for your pickup arrangement.
LaGuardia Airport offers public transportation, licensed taxis, ride-share apps, rental cars, and authorized shuttle, van and private-car services. For a direct car transfer, you can use a taxi, rideshare or prearranged service; a rental car gives you a vehicle to drive yourself. Public transportation involves connecting from the airport bus network to other regional services.

Driving and taxi options
A taxi or other car service offers a direct vehicle transfer from the airport, while a rental car puts you in charge of the drive. LaGuardia has licensed taxis outside each terminal; use the official taxi stand and join the line, where a dispatcher directs passengers to the next available cab.
Licensed taxis
At Terminal B, follow the signs after baggage claim to the taxi stand curbside in the arrivals area on Level 2. At Terminal C, the stand is curbside in the arrivals area on Level 1. Taxi fares are based on distance and time, and airport fare estimates exclude tips, tolls and MTA congestion pricing.
Taxi charges can include an airport access fee, a meter start amount, time-of-day surcharges and New York State tax for trips within the state. If you need a wheelchair-accessible taxi, you can request one through Accessible Dispatch or apps including Curb and ARRO.
Rideshares and private cars
Uber and Lyft are among the rideshare options at LaGuardia, with pickup areas marked outside each terminal. You can also arrange an authorized private-car service or van for a transfer. Confirm the pickup instructions with your chosen provider so you know where to meet your driver.
Rental cars
Most rental-car companies are off-airport. Shuttles to the rental car center are available outside each terminal, so allow for that additional step when planning your departure from the airport.
What shuttle and shared-transfer options are available?
LaGuardia authorizes shuttle, van and private-car services to and from the airport, but its general transport information does not establish a shared shuttle route or schedule to Stony Point. Arrange a service directly and confirm whether it is shared or private, where pickup takes place, and how the fare is set.
For a shuttle service, check that the provider is authorized by the airport and get its terminal pickup instructions before you travel. If you are comparing a shuttle with a taxi or rideshare, confirm whether the service takes you directly to your Stony Point destination or includes other stops.
How do public transport and transfers work?
LaGuardia’s buses connect the airport with the MTA subway, Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North, giving you ways to continue by public transportation. Reaching Stony Point this way requires planning connections beyond the airport; the airport’s bus connections alone do not describe a complete trip to town.
The MTA Q70-SBS LaGuardia Link connects the airport with Woodside LIRR and the Jackson Heights E, F, M, R and 7 subway connections. From there, you would need to plan onward travel using regional services.
Transport of Rockland is Rockland County’s local bus system, with 10 routes serving major corridors and feeder loops within the county. Other providers serving the county include Coach USA, Shortline, Spring Valley Jitney, Monsey Trails and Hudson Link.
Check each operator’s current routes, connections and fares before relying on a public-transport itinerary. Airport access and regional service details can change, and a connection that works for one arrival time may not suit another.
Choosing an option for arrival day
A direct car option reduces the number of transfer steps between LaGuardia and Stony Point, while public transportation means coordinating airport buses with onward regional services. Your luggage, arrival time and need for a vehicle after reaching town can help determine which approach fits your plans.
- For a direct transfer: compare a licensed taxi, rideshare and authorized prearranged car or van service. Check the pickup instructions and fare details before choosing.
- For a self-drive trip: account for the shuttle from the terminal to the rental car center, since most rental companies are off-airport.
- For public transportation: map the airport bus connection and each onward leg to Stony Point, checking the relevant operators’ schedules.
LaGuardia Airport is about a 52-minute drive from Budget Motor, a motel in Stony Point, giving you a car-trip reference point for reaching your Stony Point stay. It is not a public-transit travel time.
Before leaving the airport
Before you leave, confirm your pickup point and the details for your chosen service. For taxis, follow terminal signs to the official stand and use the dispatcher’s queue; for rideshares, follow the marked pickup-area instructions. If you have arranged a shuttle, van or private car, follow the provider’s directions.
Taxi charges include more than the distance-and-time fare: there is an airport access fee for taxi pickups, along with other surcharges and taxes. For wheelchair-accessible taxi requests, Accessible Dispatch can be reached by phone at +1 (646)-599-9999 or by text at +1 (646)-400-0789; Curb and ARRO are also request options.
Check LaGuardia Airport’s official site before you go for current ground-transport instructions and charges.
