need ABSOLUTE FASTEST way to get from LGA to lower Manhattan in morning

[StoneOne]

Would love to do the helicopter, but alas, not quite in the budget.

I checked into a car service. Carmel Limousine (https://carmellimo.com/). If my flight lands at 10.21am, I suppose I'm alright with a pick-up time of 10.30? They do it in 15-minute increments.

The price looks good at $28 + tips and tolls. I'm not worried if it's a bit more than the cab would be, as I really need to get to this meeting downtown at 11.30. I'll probably take a bus back to the airport that evening!

If anyone has heard anything bad about this company or would highly recommend another one, let me know. They all seem pretty similar, though.

Yes, many of the services like Camel and Tel Aviv are very similar in that they have a standard airport business that usually has cars circulating at all times. It can be a time saver to bypass the waiting line for a taxi, and the rate is competitive.

Companies like Boston Coach are a little different in that they assign a chauffeur to you, and have a 5 minute grace period before they start billing for waiting time, but your chauffeur is there for you, specifically; not the next available driver at your location and time. They do charge a significantly higher base rate, however.
