  • To drive a rental car from LaGuardia Airport (LGA) to downtown, pick up your rental car and depart the airport, taking the Grand Central Parkway to the southwest. Take the exit on the left to merge onto the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (I-278 W) in the direction of Staten Island. Continue on I-278 W until you reach Exit 29A for the Brooklyn Bridge. Merge onto Tillary Street and follow the Brooklyn Bridge signs. Once in Manhattan, follow the signs for downtown or the Financial District, which is one of the most popular areas of downtown Manhattan. The distance between LGA and downtown is about 10 to 12 miles, and the estimated travel time is around 30 to 45 minutes.
  • The state of New York maintains a system of toll roads that serve as vital transportation arteries. The New York State Thruway (I-87), one of the longest toll highways in the United States, is among these toll roadways. The Thruway connects New York City in the south with Buffalo in the west and Albany in the state's central region. Other major toll roads in New York include the Cross Island Parkway, the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. The toll rates on these roads can vary based on the distance traveled and vehicle type. E-ZPass, an electronic toll collection system, is extensively used to reduce congestion and wait times at the roads' toll plazas, facilitating smoother transactions.
