Taxi Transfers from Buenos Aires' Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) to BA Hotels

The airport in Buenos Aires where all International flignts land & depart from is the Ministro Pistarini Ezeiza International Airport (airport code EZE). Here is a neat view of the airport. When you land you can easily get a taxi from the airport to your Buenos Aires hotel which will be about a 20 mintute drive to Recoleta and the other City Center hotels. Vans or shuttles that in other cities are much cheaper than taxis are not necessary here unless you are traveling alone. With 2 or 3 people a taxi is so cheap you wouldnt want to hassle with the multiple stops and other delays you face with a shuttle. Taxis in Argentina are safe, but Buenos Aires is a place where you only want to use official or Radio Taxis like the one in this picture. You can get them at the official taxi stand at the airport, have a hotel or restaurant call one for you, or get one outside of the big hotels who only let safe ones park in their taxi line.

When you exit the airport beware of the guys walking around asking you if you need a taxi, these guys will be reaching for your luggage, acting like they are helping you, when they are really just trying to get you into a cab that is not an official one. Some of these guys will take you to the official taxi line but they will then expect a tip for carrying your bag 50 feet. The taxi stand is just outside the door where you exit customs, you will get a ticket like this as a receipt that identifies the taxi you take (which would help if something happens to you or if you leave something behind in the car). This ride to Recoleta cost us $55 pesos for three people, about US$18 which included highway tolls, but not tip -- for a twenty minute ride.
