How much does a taxi from Ezeiza to Buenos Aires cost?

An official Taxi Ezeiza from EZE to central Buenos Aires costs approximately ARS 45,000–65,000 (around $30–45 USD as of 2026). Book at the official taxi counter inside the arrivals hall - never accept offers from unlicensed drivers at the exit doors.

What is the difference between a taxi and a remise in Buenos Aires?

A remise is a pre-booked private car with a fixed, agreed price before you travel - no meter running, no surprises. A taxi uses a taximeter and the final fare depends on traffic. For airport runs, remises are almost always cheaper and less stressful.

Is there a bus from Ezeiza airport to Buenos Aires?

Yes - Tienda León operates a coach service between EZE and its terminal on Madero 1299 in Puerto Madero (near the city centre) for approximately ARS 12,000–15,000 ($8–10 USD as of 2026). Departures run every 30–60 minutes. Journey time is 45–75 minutes depending on traffic.

How long does the transfer from Ezeiza to Buenos Aires take?

Expect 45–90 minutes from Ezeiza (EZE) to central Buenos Aires. The Autopista Ricchieri is the main route - rush hour (7–9am, 5–8pm weekdays) adds 30–45 minutes. Allow at least 2.5 hours before your flight when returning.

Can I use Uber or Cabify at Buenos Aires airports?

Uber and Cabify both operate in Buenos Aires and can be used from Aeroparque (AEP) with no issues. At Ezeiza (EZE), rideshare apps work but pick-up zones have changed - check the app for the correct terminal exit, and note that official taxi unions occasionally enforce restrictions. Pre-booked private transfers avoid this uncertainty entirely.

Buenos Aires Airport Transfers | The Argentina Guide

Buenos Aires is served by two airports: Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), 35 km south-west of the city centre, and Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), right on the Río de la Plata waterfront just 4 km from Palermo. Which airport you use determines your transfer options, journey time, and cost - and they are very different experiences.

This guide covers every transfer option for both airports, with current fare tables in ARS and USD, so you can plan before you land.

Ezeiza International Airport (EZE)

Ezeiza handles all international flights and some long-haul domestic routes. The journey to the city centre typically takes 45–75 minutes in normal traffic; add 30–45 minutes during weekday rush hours (7–9am and 5–8pm).

EZE Transfer Options and Fares

Option	Approx. ARS (2026)	Approx. USD	Journey Time	Notes
Official Taxi (Taxi Ezeiza)	ARS 45,000–65,000	$30–45	45–90 min	Metered; book at arrivals counter
Remise (pre-booked)	ARS 35,000–55,000	$22–38	45–90 min	Fixed price; book online or via hotel
Tienda León Coach	ARS 12,000–15,000	$8–10	45–75 min	To Puerto Madero; no luggage limit
City Bus (Line 8)	ARS 1,200–1,500	~$0.80	60–90 min	Stops at Constitución; SUBE card needed
Private Transfer	from $35–55 USD	$35–55	45–75 min	Meet-and-greet; fixed rate

All fares are approximate as of mid-2026. Argentina’s exchange rate moves frequently - verify current ARS/USD rates before travel.

Official Taxi (Taxi Ezeiza)

The safest way to take a metered taxi from EZE is to book at the official Taxi Ezeiza counter inside the arrivals hall, past customs. Staff assign you a registered vehicle and give you a receipt with the estimated fare. Pricing is metered plus a distance surcharge.

Never accept taxi offers from individuals approaching you at the arrivals doors - these are unregistered and frequently overcharge travellers.

Remise from Ezeiza

A remise is Argentina’s equivalent of a hire car with driver: price agreed before you set off, no meter, no negotiation mid-journey. Airport remises operate from the departures level (upper floor) or can be pre-booked online. Reputable services include Manuel Tienda León and various hotel-connected agencies.

For the best value and reliability, book a remise in advance. Our affiliate partners offer fixed-rate airport remises:

Tienda León Coach (Bus)

The most economical comfortable option. Tienda León coaches depart from the EZE arrivals level and terminate at Madero 1299, Puerto Madero - roughly 1 km from San Telmo and a short taxi ride from most downtown hotels. Buses run every 30–60 minutes from 05:00 to 02:00. Buy tickets at the Tienda León desk in arrivals.

Note: From the Tienda León terminal in the city, you can catch a taxi or Uber to your hotel, or walk to Retiro if staying near the centre.

City Bus from Ezeiza (Budget Option)

Bus Line 8 stops on the road outside the terminal and runs to Constitución station in central Buenos Aires. Fare is under ARS 1,500 as of 2026 (payable by SUBE card only - no cash). Journey takes 60–90 minutes and involves standing with luggage at stops. Best for independent travellers who have already obtained a SUBE card.

Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP)

Aeroparque sits on the Costanera Norte, just 4 km from Palermo and 6 km from Microcentro. Most domestic routes and some regional international flights (Uruguay, Chile) use this airport. The transfer into the city is quick and inexpensive.

AEP Transfer Options and Fares

Option	Approx. ARS (2026)	Approx. USD	Journey Time	Notes
Official Taxi	ARS 12,000–22,000	$8–15	15–35 min	Metered; short hops to Palermo very cheap
Remise (pre-booked)	ARS 10,000–18,000	$6–12	15–35 min	Fixed rate; good for San Telmo/Centro
City Bus (Lines 33, 45, 160)	ARS 1,200–1,500	~$0.80	20–40 min	SUBE card needed; frequent service
Uber / Cabify	ARS 10,000–18,000	$6–12	15–35 min	Meet at designated pick-up zone
Private Transfer	from $20–30 USD	$20–30	15–30 min	Useful for groups or late-night arrivals

All fares approximate as of mid-2026.

Taxi from Aeroparque

Taxis queue at the kerb outside the single terminal. The short distance to Palermo (10–15 minutes) makes a metered taxi very affordable here. To Microcentro or San Telmo expect 20–30 minutes and ARS 15,000–20,000 in normal traffic.

City Buses from Aeroparque

Three bus lines stop directly outside:

Line 33 - runs to Retiro station and Microcentro
Line 45 - connects to Palermo, Recoleta, and Retiro
Line 160 - runs south along the Costanera and into downtown

All require a SUBE card (Argentina’s transit card, available at kiosks, post offices, and some subway stations). If you do not yet have a SUBE card, buy one at Retiro bus terminal or any kiosk on your first day.

Rideshare Apps at Aeroparque

Uber and Cabify work well at AEP. Both apps show pick-up zones on the map - look for the designated rideshare area to avoid walking the wrong direction. Fares are comparable to metered taxis.

Tips for a Smooth Airport Transfer

Sort your phone data before landing. An Argentina eSIM activated before departure gives you working data the moment you’re through customs - useful for confirming your transfer booking and navigating from the terminal.

Arrive with some ARS cash or a working card. The official taxi counter and Tienda León accept cards, but small remise operators and city bus top-ups are cash or SUBE only.

Book your return transfer in advance. Ezeiza departures are busiest Thursday–Saturday evenings. A pre-booked remise or private transfer means you are not competing for taxis during a surge. We recommend booking at least 24 hours ahead.

Share taxis via Tienda León. Tienda León also offers a shared taxi (taxi compartido) service from EZE to multiple city stops, which is cheaper than a solo taxi and faster than the coach.

Night arrivals at Ezeiza. Flights arriving after midnight face less traffic but fewer public transport options. Tienda León coaches run until around 02:00. Outside those hours, a pre-booked private transfer is the practical choice.

Currency at the airport. Exchange desks at EZE offer official rates. As of 2026, the official rate and the blue-market rate have converged substantially, so airport exchange is no longer as disadvantageous as it once was - though it is worth checking the current spread before you fly.

Book Your Transfer

For a stress-free arrival, a pre-booked private transfer is hard to beat. Welcome Pickups offers fixed-rate, meet-and-greet transfers from both EZE and AEP with English-speaking drivers and a free 60-minute wait time.
