Cheap car service from JFK and LaGuardia
We have a reliable, inexpensive car service here in Park Slope that gets you to and from both airports much cheaper than a regular taxi or car share. It's called "Eastern." To/from JFK it costs $35 (cash), $40 (credit card); To/from LaGuardia it costs $30 (cash), $35 (credit card). Tips appreciated. You can reserve ahead of time by calling (718) 499-6227, or by downloading their app. We are also happy to do it for you, but we would need your flight information.
