Is it safe to take a taxi from Ezeiza? How to avoid overcharging
A few simple habits solve almost every problem travelers report.
Buenos Aires is a welcoming city, and most airport rides go smoothly. The problems travelers report concentrate in one place: drivers who approach you inside the terminal offering a ride. A few habits avoid almost all of them.
The golden rule
Never accept a ride from someone who approaches you. Use the official taxi and remis counters in the arrivals area, a pre-booked transfer or a licensed service, and do not walk out of the airport to hail a taxi on the street.
Safer ways to get to the city
- Pre-booked private transfer: fixed price and a driver with your name on a sign.
- Official taxi or remis counter: you arrange and pay for the ride at a counter inside the arrivals area.
- Airport shuttle or public bus: fixed fares or low-cost options with set stops.
- Ride apps: availability and pickup rules at the airport change, so follow the instructions in the app.
How to avoid overcharging
- Agree on the price before the car moves, or pay through the official counter.
- If you pre-book, confirm what the price includes: tolls, luggage and waiting time.
- Keep your luggage with you until you are in the car.
- Know the usual ride time, 45 to 60 minutes, so you notice if something is off.
- Share your ride details with someone you trust.
