Booking a ride on a rideshare app to any major New York airport can get expensive, with fares sometimes costing well over $100.
But starting Tuesday, Uber is offering an alternative: It can take you to and from LaGuardia Airport for $18 each way.
Rides on the “Uber Shuttle” can be booked between seven days or five minutes before a shuttle departs. However, these rides are shared — vehicles will be able to fit up to 14 passengers. Each rider is allowed a personal item and a carry-on or checked bag.
The shuttles will run every 30 minutes from 5 a.m. to 10:45 p.m., seven days a week. So far, the stops are limited to midtown Manhattan and include:
Uber shuttles will drop passengers off to LaGuardia Terminals B and C.
While LaGuardia offers a shuttle service to the airport, these shuttles can often take a lot longer than a car and many travelers are not as familiar with the option.
Uber announced the initiative during a climate event in London on Tuesday. It didn’t say if or when it would start a similar service out of Newark or JFK.
The rideshare app also has a shuttle service available in Egypt, India, Brazil and Mexico.
A shuttle to LaGuardia can be booked through the Uber app. When the shuttle arrives, passengers will receive a QR code ticket and a unique pin validated by the driver.

Both Walt Disney World and Disneyland will roll out a brand new system that will allow guests to join a Lightning Lane queue without a reservation — but it'll cost you.The Lightning Lane Premier Pass will use dynamic pricing based on demand and date of visit. Prices will also vary by theme park and are expected to range from $129 to $449 per person, per day — with the highest prices will occur during peak travel periods, like Christmas and New Year’s. Those eligible can purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass up to seven days before their date of check-in at 7:00 AM ET and for their entire length of stay, up to 14 days. The pass can be purchased in the My Disney Experience app.
