EZE — Buenos Aires (Ezeiza) — Taxi Fare Guide
Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) sits about 35 km southwest of central Buenos Aires, so the ride is long and fares are relatively high. The safest option is to use the official remis (fixed-price private car) or authorized taxi counters located inside the arrivals hall. These offer a fixed price agreed at the desk before you leave, so traffic and waiting time do not change the total. A remis to downtown (Microcentro, Recoleta, Palermo) typically runs ARS 45,000–55,000 (about USD 45–55).
Standard metered street taxis exist but at Ezeiza most travellers book at an official counter for a fixed rate rather than a live meter, avoiding disputes over Argentina's fast-changing prices. A metered airport taxi journey works out around ARS 38,000–50,000, but the fixed remis price gives more certainty. Always pay at the desk or confirm the fixed price before departure, and keep some cash — card acceptance varies.
Ride-hailing apps Uber, Cabify and DiDi operate in Buenos Aires and are often cheaper (roughly ARS 30,000–45,000 to the centre), but pickup rules at EZE change and drivers sometimes ask you to meet outside the official zone. Cabify is the most established and quotes a fixed price up front, making it a popular alternative.
| Destination | Approx. fare | Time |
| Microcentro / city centre | ARS 45,000–55,000 | 40–60 min |
| Recoleta | ARS 46,000–56,000 | 45–60 min |
| Palermo | ARS 48,000–58,000 | 45–65 min |
| La Boca / San Telmo | ARS 44,000–54,000 | 40–55 min |
Practical tips: Only use the official remis/taxi counters inside arrivals — ignore anyone offering rides in the hall or car park, as unlicensed drivers are a known safety risk. Agree the fixed price before leaving, carry some cash, and note that fares rise sharply with Argentina's inflation, so confirm the current quote at the desk.
Other ways to the city
There is no train or metro station at Ezeiza, so the realistic alternatives to a taxi are the airport coach services and, for the very budget-minded, a local bus.
- Tienda León bus: The long-established airport coach leaves from just outside arrivals every 30 minutes or so and runs to the company's terminal in Puerto Madero, next to Retiro, in about 50-70 minutes. Tickets cost roughly the peso equivalent of US$10-15, and a shared minibus service continues from the terminal to central hotels for a small supplement.
- ArBus: A cheaper coach linking Ezeiza with Aeroparque and central points, useful if you have a connecting domestic flight and want to avoid a cross-city taxi.
- City bus 8: The local colectivo runs from the airport towards Constitución and the centre for a very small fare, but it takes around two hours, stops constantly and requires a rechargeable SUBE card, so it suits light travellers only.
- Subte (metro): The underground does not reach the airport, but once you are at Retiro or Constitución, lines C, D and E cover most of the central neighbourhoods for a very low fare using the same SUBE card.
- Aeroparque connection: If you are transferring to a domestic flight, allow at least 90 minutes between airports; a booked transfer or the ArBus service is far more predictable than public transport.
The Tienda León coach is dependable and good value; a fixed-fare remise or private transfer is preferable for late-night arrivals, families, or hotels outside the Retiro and Puerto Madero area.
Fares are researched from official and public sources and are approximate — always confirm the meter or fixed fare before you travel.
