⚠️ Ezeiza has well-documented taxi scams — insistent touts, inflated fares, even a fake 'Official' stand. Use ONLY the official indoor taxi/remise counters (Taxi Ezeiza, Manuel Tienda León, Taxi CABA), the taxi QR system, or Uber/Cabify (no dedicated lane — you meet the driver in the outer parking lots). Never accept a ride from anyone who approaches you. Don't confuse EZE (international) with Aeroparque/AEP (domestic).
Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Ezeiza)
Buenos Aires, Argentina
The most secure option is an official taxi or remise booked at the counters inside the arrivals hall (Taxi Ezeiza, Manuel Tienda León, Taxi CABA) — fixed fare, voucher, assigned driver — or a pre-booked private transfer (driver meets you at Terminal A). Uber and Cabify are legal and more affordable but the pickup is chaotic — no dedicated lane, so you walk to the outer parking lots and need WiFi/an eSIM. Never accept a ride from anyone who approaches you — EZE has well-documented taxi scams. And don't confuse EZE (international, ~35 km out) with Aeroparque/AEP (the city-side domestic airport).

Pickup Guidance
Rideshare
Uber and Cabify are legal but there's NO dedicated pickup lane — meet your driver in the outer parking lots (a 5–8 min walk with luggage). You'll need airport WiFi or an eSIM; verify the plate/driver before getting in.
Taxi
Use ONLY the official taxi/remise counters INSIDE the arrivals hall (Taxi Ezeiza, Manuel Tienda León, Taxi CABA) — agree a fixed fare, get a voucher, board the assigned car. The city's taxi QR system (scan on airport WiFi, enter destination) is another official option. Never accept a ride from anyone who approaches you.
Shuttle
Manuel Tienda León runs an affordable shared shuttle bus to its downtown terminal near Retiro (~50–60 min); NEO Bus is a newer option.
Transit
No direct metro to EZE. The public Línea 8 bus is lowest-cost but slow (~2 hrs) and impractical with luggage.
Private Transfer
A pre-booked private transfer (driver meets you at Terminal A with a name sign) is often only slightly more than a taxi and removes the whole scam/stress risk — a strong choice for a first arrival.

Local Tips
- Use only the official indoor taxi/remise counters, the taxi QR system, or Uber/Cabify — ignore everyone who approaches you offering a ride. Touts (and even a fake 'Official' stand) are a long-documented EZE scam.
- EZE ≠ AEP. Ezeiza (EZE) is the international airport ~35 km out; Aeroparque (AEP) is the city-side domestic/regional one. Don't book the wrong code, and never schedule a same-day EZE↔AEP connection with under 4–5 hours.
- Uber/Cabify pickup is in the outer parking lots (no dedicated lane) — be ready to walk 5–8 min with luggage and have data to coordinate.
- A pre-booked private transfer is often only slightly more than a taxi and removes the whole scam/stress risk — a strong choice for a first arrival.
- Get an eSIM before landing so you can order Uber/Cabify or coordinate a transfer without hunting for WiFi.
Tarmyq local tip
At Ezeiza, the touts are relentless and there's even been a fake 'Official' taxi stand — book only at the real indoor counters (Taxi Ezeiza, Manuel Tienda León, Taxi CABA) or use Uber/Cabify. Honestly, a pre-booked transfer is often just a little more than a taxi and removes the entire arrival-hall hassle — worth it on a first trip.
