Arriving in Buenos Aires, March 2016

To get into the city by yourself you have different options. Like in every other part of the world I don't recommend to follow a person who just grabs your arm and says "taxi" to you, mostly you will pay more than needed. If you speak good spanisch and want a real argentine experience, walk out of the arrivals hall and go to the yellow-black stand for radio taxi. Talk to the guy there, and then you will go with a regular cab into town, using a meter. In case there is no traffic jam, this is the cheapest option (excluded the use of public transfers, which I never tried to be honest). Don't be surprised that you will not only have to pay the price of the meter, but as well the highway toll.

In EZE walk to the white-blue Taxi Ezeiza stand in the arrivals hall. Give the friendly (and english speaking) staff the adress of your hotel/apartment, and they will give you the price. As of March 2016, a tour from EZE to Palermo has been 500 Arg. Pesos. They will hand out a paper to you, stating you paid (they accept mayor credit cards or cash) and where you want to go. A member of staff will help you with your luggage and bring you to the white cars of this remise services. Don't forget to tip the person helping you when arriving at your car/driver. Then you will be brought to your adress, independent of the length or waiting time on the road.

The cars are clean and in acceptable technical conditions, the drivers sober, friendly and with a kind of proper dresscode.

For the way back at the end of your stay, you can book Taxi Ezeiza online through their website. Sometimes they offere special online prices. The service is reliable, they will come max. 15 minutes late and in this case give you a call that they will be late.
