Car hire at New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is a great option. Located only 9 miles from Manhattan, it is an ideal starting point for a driving tour around this great city and beyond. The road connections surrounding the airport and the efficient shuttle system between terminals and into the car hire facility are very good and enable you to get on the road much more quickly than if you depended on public transport.
In the majority of cases, car hire at New York LaGuardia Airport allows you to drive to Canada without restrictions. Simply alert the staff at the time of collection and they will arrange a non-resident insurance card to cover your policy. Some of the car hire companies, such as Avis, will also allow you to do a one-way rental trip to Canada from LaGuardia.
As each of the car hire firms have different locations or share their locations with a small number of other firms, it’s important that you take the address of the office on collection. There isn’t one central area for all drop-offs for car hire at New York LaGuardia Airport. However, each company is well-signposted on approach to the airport so follow the signs for your car hire company carefully.
Most of the car hire companies, such as Avis, operate 24h a day but aren’t always fully staffed through the night. In these cases they will have a drop-box for periods when staff are not on duty. If you want to be sure to deal with staff face-to-face, then arrange to collect and return your car during normal office hours.
Book your car hire at New York LaGuardia Airport at least 10 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Where are the car rental companies situated at New York La Guardia (LGA)?
Each of the car hire companies are on the airport campus but in a number of different areas. Each company runs free shuttle buses to a Shuttle Transfer Point in Terminal A, also known as Marine Air Terminal. A loop airport shuttle bus connects each of the terminals with this point where you can transfer to the car hire company’s specific shuttle. If you are in Terminal A already, then walk through the terminal and cross the street to the shuttle transfer point. If you are in Terminal B then you can pick up the airport shuttle bus on the departures (upper) level to bring you to the transfer point. Passengers arriving into Terminal C and D can connect with the airport shuttle bus on the arrivals level of this terminal.
LaGuardia is a big airport. Will I need more time than normal to return my car?
The system is quite efficient at LaGuardia. The shuttle buses connecting the individual car hire firms with the airport shuttle bus runs 24h a day. You should give yourself 1h to return your keys and paperwork and to take the shuttle bus back to your terminal.

I did not know that if you rent from the airport location, they Do Not Accept Debit Cards No exceptions. If you want to change rental days they can add but not subtract. Also there is a minimum of a $200 hold until 2-3 business days after the contract has been completed. That being said, I would like to commend the Manager Gardener and Monalisa as well as the staff for working very hard for accommodating My family and I. We were there at 12pm on Saturday until 1:40pm and was able to pick up family at 2:15pm . We had a wonderful time . That was Joy enough for me. The van could have been cleaned a little better bc the keys and steering wheel was sticking with syrup for the previous client.

The first car they gave me smelt like urine. The side of the car was damaged...and had started to rust. It had been like that for a while and they continued to rent it. It had over 50k miles on it! Staff were very disorganized and always calling for cars. Terrible system. Never again!

The day that I arrived there was a shortage of cars at Thrifty, which caused a significant delay for everyone getting their rentals. This was due to an earlier weeks earthquake in New York. Although this was dissapointing as I could not leave for my destination until I received my car, but I have to applaud Thrify employees for keeping good attitude and taking the time to explain to everyone why there is a delay, and that they are doing everything they can to get us out of there. I appreciated the feeling informed attitude. And everyone in line was super kind and positive

The people were friendly and helpful but they do try to upsell (eg electronic toll pass, extra insurance coverage). When driving to exit or enter the vehicle storage area, there isn't much room to maneuver and there are some tight turns.

At the time of car pick up, it looked like a bird egg fell out of a nest and was stuck to the top of the car roof. Scraping it off the car (with a partially formed bird inside) was not pleasant.

Michael, May 2021

Cons:

Car smelled like cigarettes, i prepaid online and then was charged extra at pickup, more than doubling the rental cost. " Mandatory liability insurance, concession fees that weren't mentioned online and $44 for a toll pass which I chose to add). None of which were mentioned online when reserving and paying "In Full". My $125 car rental turned into $300. Felt like a bait and switch. Dishonest advertising. Once i was there for pickup, i needed the car and had no choice but to pay what they were asking.

Gina, Feb 2021

Pros:

Clerk was helpful until I noticed a mistake in the booking and then she said she had no way to correct it.

Cons:

I had booked a one way car rental for La Guardia with a Drop off at Logan airport. When I called to ask if I could pick up the car a day earlier the customer service rep, said "yes" and also that I would save $25 . When I got there the clerk told me that the reservation said I was returning it to LaGuardia. I said that wasn't what I had told the clerk and she refused to honor the lower rate and if that wasn't enough she would't even give me the original price but said now I'd have to pay $80 more than my original reservation. I walked out and got another car from Thrifty. They made the mistake and they should have honored the price quoted. At least the original price, so I. don't think I will book with Enterprise again.

The whole process was smooth, especially once I got to the rental counter. I waited for almost 30 min for a shuttle along with many other people as shuttles from other rental agencies passed by multiple times. The driver was very patient and professional even though a few customers mistreated him because they were upset about the wait time. I thought he handled it extremely well. So I would recommend making sure there are always plenty of shuttles.

The shuttle from rental place to terminal took over 40 mins from return time to finally having a bus to take us to terminal. About 4 folks including myself missed out flights. The terminal is only 1 mile away. It was lunch time, I guess it was more important to have lunch than take care of the 20 folks waiting on the shuttle to terminal
