Hi, my daughter and I fly in to LGA late September, late morning, destination somewhere in the middle of Brooklyn.

Public transportation looks pretty grueling. (Hilariously, map app suggests "take a car" for the first leg.) Are car services dependable these days. If so, can you recommend one?

Yes, airport car services are reliable. Dial 7 and Carmel are often highly recommended on this and other Travel forums.

In pre "new terminal" days I found it easier to just get in the taxi queue than trying to find a particular car service driver. I don't know if that situation has changed.

We have had consistently good service from Carmel.

Roams, J62, Happyt, thank you so much. This takes one big worry away.

Carmel came through beautifully. Our flight arrived 1.5 hrs earlier than expected, and still the driver arrived just 7 min after we called from the I ❤ NY sign. Really appreciate the recommendation. Very reasonable price, too.
