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.

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.
