volk904 Posted February 24 #1 Share Posted February 24 (edited) We are flying into LGR the day before cruise out on NJ in May. What is the best way for 2 to get from LGR to a hotel in NJ? Would it be better to get to NYC Penn Station and take the train over? Seems like we did this years ago. We could also stay in NYC if that was a better option. Does Celebrity offer any kind of transportation? Edited February 24 by volk904 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted February 24 #2 Share Posted February 24 You might want to just Uber the whole way ($100?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted February 24 #3 Share Posted February 24 Hopefully you are flying into LGA (LaGuardia NY) and not LGR which is in Chile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkacmom Posted February 29 #5 Share Posted February 29 Husband’s Uber to NJ from LGA was $160 yesterday around noon. 45 minutes, pretty much the same amount of time it would've taken to get to Newark airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Line Posted February 29 #6 Share Posted February 29 Best way would be Blade Helicopter takes 10 minutes.

Best way is Blade Helicopter, only 10 minutes. https://www.blade.com/airport Next best would be Uber/Lyft ride share and not Yellow Taxi As for Yellow Medallion Taxi $1.75 for pick up only at LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy Airports, Standard metered fare. Plus $20.00 Newark Surcharge. Plus tip and tolls to and from EWR (passengers are charged for the drivers’ return tolls). The on-screen rate message should read "Rate #3 - Newark Airport." Next is an airport shuttle like ETS https://www.etsairportshuttle.com/laguardia-to-newark-shuttles There are airport shuttle buses for around $21 as well see CoachUSA for times. You also have public transportation NYC Bus like M60 or Q70 SBS to the subway to NJ Transit Train to the AirTrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP wants to go to a hotel in NJ, not to EWR, so most of what you've stated is of no use to the OP. Only the Uber/Lyft option is valid and that was suggested in the very first reply to the OP's question. You can't take a helicopter to a hotel. The taxi fare formula you cited is to EWR. New York City taxis are not required to take you to any NJ destination other than EWR but if they agree to the fare is not set by rule but is a matter of negotiation between the taxi driver and passenger. ETS airport shuttles go to EWR airport, not to hotels. As in your other recommendations, the mass transit option goes to EWR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volk904 Posted March 2 Author #8 Share Posted March 2 Thanks for the info. We could be ok with trip to EWR. Out hotel has free shuttle from there so that is something to consider. Looks like shared shuttle is $59 pp. Guess we will way that agains a Lyft or Uber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
