The drive
From Toms River, the usual route to LaGuardia is Garden State Parkway north, then the Outerbridge Crossing, Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and BQE — or the Turnpike and a Hudson tunnel. From Toms River, Newark Airport is usually quicker (55 min – 1 hr 30 min), so LaGuardia is worth it when the flight, fare, or airline is better there.
Every trip from New Jersey to LaGuardia crosses the Hudson — the George Washington Bridge, the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel, or the Goethals / Outerbridge and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge from the south — and then a bridge or tunnel into Queens. Those tolls are included in your fixed quote, and dispatch picks the crossings on live traffic.
