How to get from Ezeiza Airport (EZE) to Buenos Aires city center
A practical comparison of every option, from the cheapest to the most comfortable.
Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) is a little over 30 kilometers from downtown Buenos Aires. By car the trip usually takes between 45 minutes and an hour, and it can stretch to around an hour and a half in heavy traffic or rain. The right option depends on your budget, your luggage, how many people you travel with and what time you land.
We run a private transfer service, so we are obviously fans of it, but this guide compares every realistic option fairly so you can pick what suits your trip.

The short answer
- Family, group, lots of luggage or arriving at night: book a private transfer in advance.
- Two or three people deciding on arrival: an official taxi or remis from the counters in the arrivals area.
- Solo and light on luggage: the airport shuttle.
- Tightest budget and plenty of time: public bus line 8.

Practical tips for your arrival
- Never accept a ride from someone who approaches you inside the terminal. Use the official counters or a pre-booked service.
- Allow an hour or more after landing to clear immigration, collect your bags and pass the final luggage scan before you exit.
- Save your hotel address and have it ready on your phone, ideally in Spanish.
- If you land late at night or after a long flight, booking ahead removes the guesswork.
- Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can track delays and be waiting for you.
