How much can a taxi cost from La Guardia Airport to St. Pathrick's Cathedral?? Any better type of transfer?

Hi, I'm arriving from Chicago to La Guardia Airport and would like to know how much would a taxi cost from there to the New York Palace hotel that is located right in front of St.Pathrick's Cathedral. I've been also told about Super Shuttle, is this good? THANKS!|||Taxi will probably be $25 or so depending on traffic, plus tip.





SuperShuttle fare would be $13 and will take you right to the hotel. You can get the details from their website:

Just select "From airport," "New York LaGuardia," and type in the name of the hotel when prompted. I checked, and they have it in their database.





While SuperShuttle runs without a regular schedule (they'll leave when there's enough people), there's also the New York Airport Service, which runs shuttle buses on a schedule to certain locations. The closest for your would be Grand Central Terminal; from there you could either walk about 10 blocks up Madison Avenue, take the regular M1 bus which runs uptown on that street, or just flag down a cab.

However, I would recommend having at least $40 just in case.





In regards to the Super Shuttle, I would avoid it like the plague. Their service is terrible and expensive. If you don't believe me, check out the link below.

My recommendation will be taking the New York Airport Service, which is an airport express bus, from LGA to Grand Central. The one way fare is a little cheaper at $12.





Once at Grand Central, you can catch a cab from there to the NY Palace hotel. The one way fare will be roughly about $6 to $8.





Good luck
