EZE

Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Ezeiza)

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Where to start
Official Taxi / Remise Counter

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.
