Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick answer Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini Airport (EZE) sits roughly **35 km southwest** of central Buenos Aires. The ride into Microcentro, Palermo, or Recoleta takes **40–80 minutes** depending on traffic and time of day. Rush hour on the Autopista Riccheri and General Paz ring road can easily double your travel time. Your main options are a **pre-booked private transfer**, an **official airport taxi**, the **Tienda León bus-shuttle** (ARS 16,500 per person to its Terminal Pellegrini, per the operator's own site), or a **remis** (licensed sedan). Argentina's prices move fast with inflation, so agree the fare before you set off and check the operator's own site for the current one. Rideshare apps like Uber work but operate in a legal grey area and pickups can be complicated at EZE. ### What actually happens after landing After clearing immigration and customs — which can take **30–60 minutes** on busy mornings when multiple long-haul flights land together — you emerge into the arrivals hall. The terminal is straightforward: a single main building with arrivals on the ground floor. You will immediately see the **Tienda Leon counter** on your left, several **remis and taxi counters**, and currency exchange booths. ATMs are available but often have long queues and withdrawal limits. The free airport Wi-Fi works reasonably well for getting your bearings. If you have a pre-booked transfer, your driver will typically wait in the arrivals hall holding a name sign, or just outside the exit doors in the designated pickup area. The key thing to know: do not follow anyone who approaches you unsolicited offering taxi rides. ### Transport options explained honestly | Option | Price | Time | Notes | |--------|-------|------|-------| | Pre-booked transfer | Fixed when you book | 40–70 min | Meet & greet, no surprises | | Official airport taxi | Sold at the counter before you ride — ask for today's fare | 40–70 min | Fixed rate agreed at the desk | | Tienda León bus | ARS 16,500 per person (operator's own site) | ~60 min | To Terminal Pellegrini, then a taxi or the subway | | Remis (sedan service) | Agreed at the counter inside the terminal | 40–70 min | Book at the desk in arrivals | | Uber/Cabify | Dynamic — check the app | 40–70 min | Grey area legally, pickup can be awkward | **Why so few numbers?** Argentine peso prices are revised constantly with inflation, and apart from Tienda León's own published fare there is no authoritative tariff to quote. A figure printed here would be wrong within months — and wrong in a way that looks freshly checked. Every option above except the bus sells you a price *before* you ride, so ask at the counter and you'll know exactly what you're paying. The **Tienda León** shuttle is the budget option, running to its own **Terminal Pellegrini**. From there you will still need a taxi or the subway to your hotel, adding 15–30 minutes and a fare worth asking about on the day. **Uber and Cabify** technically work, but drivers sometimes ask you to sit in the front seat and the pickup logistics at EZE can be confusing. Prices fluctuate with demand. ### Realistic pricing expectations Argentina's economy means prices in ARS change frequently — fast enough that any figure printed in a guide is misleading within months, which is why we don't print one for a direct door-to-door ride to most central Buenos Aires neighborhoods. Prices vary by destination — Microcentro, San Telmo and Puerto Madero sit at the lower end, Palermo and Recoleta a little higher, and Ezeiza town (the nearest) far below all of them. For the actual numbers, get a quote when you book: Argentine inflation makes any printed peso figure stale quickly, and there is no reliable published tariff to cite. **Tienda León** publishes its own fares: at the time of writing its site lists **ARS 16,500 per person** from Ezeiza to its **Terminal Pellegrini** in the city (about an hour), and ARS 17,000 to Aeroparque. Note it does **not** run to Terminal Madero or Retiro. Argentine fares are revised frequently with inflation, so treat that figure as a marker and check tiendaleon.com before you travel. Tolls on the Autopista Riccheri are usually included in pre-booked transfers but may be extra with taxis. Always confirm before departing. ### Late night arrivals EZE receives flights at all hours, including many long-haul arrivals from Europe and North America landing between **22:00 and 02:00**. The good news: late-night traffic is minimal, so the drive into the city drops to a smooth **35–45 minutes**. The bad news: the Tienda Leon bus runs reduced service after midnight, and finding a good taxi at 1 AM means relying on whatever is available at the counter. A **pre-booked transfer is strongly recommended** for late arrivals — your driver will be there regardless of delays, and you avoid negotiating with tired taxi drivers at odd hours. The airport itself stays open 24 hours with basic amenities, but food options thin out considerably after midnight. ### Families and luggage If you are traveling with children, car seats are not standard in Argentine taxis or remis services. A **pre-booked transfer** is the only reliable way to request a child seat in advance. Luggage space in standard taxis can be tight if you have more than two large suitcases. The Tienda León bus has a luggage compartment but you will need to handle your own bags when transferring to a taxi at its city terminal. The walk from arrivals to the parking area is short and mostly covered. There are trolleys available inside the terminal but not always outside. ### Where you meet the driver For pre-booked transfers, drivers wait in the **arrivals hall** near the exit doors, holding a sign with your name. Some services also send a WhatsApp message with the driver's photo and location. For official taxis and remis, go to the **counters inside the arrivals hall** — never accept rides from people approaching you on the curb. Pay at the counter, receive a voucher, and then proceed to the vehicle. The Tienda Leon counter is clearly signed on the left side of the arrivals hall. Their buses depart from a stop just outside the terminal, a 2-minute walk. ### Decision helper **Choose a pre-booked transfer if:** you want a fixed price with no surprises, you are arriving late at night, you have children who need car seats, or you simply do not want to figure out logistics after a long flight. **Choose Tienda León if:** you are on a tight budget, traveling light, and your hotel is near its Terminal Pellegrini (Pellegrini 971, central Buenos Aires). Be prepared for the extra connection. **Choose an official taxi if:** you are comfortable negotiating in Buenos Aires, traveling light, and arriving during normal hours. **Skip Uber at EZE if:** this is your first time in Buenos Aires. The pickup logistics are not worth the potential savings. ## Summary Getting from Ezeiza to Buenos Aires is straightforward once you know what to expect. The 35 km drive is manageable in any transport option — the real question is how much hassle you want to deal with after a long flight. For most travelers, especially those arriving late or with families, a pre-booked transfer eliminates every uncertainty at a reasonable price. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How far is Ezeiza Airport from Buenos Aires city center?** About **35 km**, which takes **40–80 minutes** by car depending on traffic conditions. **Q: How much does a taxi from EZE to Buenos Aires cost?** Official airport taxis sell a fare at a desk in the terminal before you ride, so you know the price up front — but we won't print it here, because Argentine peso prices are revised too often for a figure to stay true, and there's no published tariff to cite. Ask at the official desk in arrivals for the current fare to central neighborhoods. **Q: Is Uber available at Ezeiza Airport?** Uber works but operates in a legal grey area. Pickups at EZE can be confusing and drivers may ask you to sit in front. Agree the price before you get in. **Q: What is the cheapest way from EZE to Buenos Aires?** The **Tienda León bus** lists **ARS 16,500 per person** on the operator's own site, running to its **Terminal Pellegrini** in central Buenos Aires. You then need a local taxi or the subway onward. **Q: How does the Tienda Leon bus work?** Buy a ticket at the counter in the arrivals hall. Buses run to the operator's own **Terminal Pellegrini** (Pellegrini 971, central Buenos Aires); the operator puts the trip at about an hour. Check tiendaleon.com for current departures and fares. **Q: Can I get a transfer from EZE at night?** Yes. Pre-booked transfers operate 24/7. Taxis are available but with fewer options. Tienda Leon runs reduced service after midnight. **Q: Are there tolls on the road from EZE to Buenos Aires?** Yes, there are tolls on the Autopista Riccheri — check the current amount locally, as we can't quote a peso figure that would stay accurate. Pre-booked transfers usually include tolls; confirm with taxis beforehand. **Q: Is it safe to take a taxi from Ezeiza Airport?** Official taxis from the counter inside the terminal are safe. Never accept rides from unlicensed drivers approaching you in the arrivals area. **Q: Can I get a child car seat in an airport taxi?** Standard taxis do not carry child seats. You need to **pre-book a transfer** and request one in advance. **Q: Should I exchange money at EZE Airport?** Airport exchange rates are poor. Withdraw from ATMs if needed, but be aware of withdrawal limits. Better rates are available in the city at exchange houses (cuevas) on Calle Florida. ## Arriving at Ezeiza Airport Late at Night **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/eze/late-night Ezeiza receives a cluster of long-haul flights from Europe, North America, and the Middle East that land between **22:00 and 02:00**. If your flight arrives in this window, here is what to expect. ## What the airport looks like at night EZE stays open 24 hours. The arrivals hall remains lit and staffed, but the atmosphere thins out considerably after midnight. Most shops and restaurants close by **23:00**, leaving only a couple of basic cafes and vending machines. Immigration is usually faster late at night — **15–30 minutes** instead of the daytime 30–60 — unless several international flights land simultaneously around midnight. ## Transport options after midnight | Option | Available? | Notes | |--------|-----------|-------| | Pre-booked transfer | Yes, 24/7 | Driver tracks your flight, waits regardless of delays | | Official taxi counter | Yes, but limited | Fewer cars available, possible wait of 10–20 minutes | | Tienda Leon bus | Reduced service | Last departures around midnight, check current schedule | | Uber / Cabify | Technically yes | Very few drivers at EZE after midnight | | Remis | Limited | Counter may still be open but fewer vehicles | ## The drive at night The one genuine advantage of a late arrival: **traffic is almost nonexistent**. The Autopista Riccheri is empty, and the drive into Palermo, Recoleta, or Microcentro takes a smooth **35–45 minutes** instead of the daytime 50–80. ## Safety considerations Buenos Aires is generally safe for travelers using licensed transport, but late at night you want to be more careful than usual. Stick to **official taxis from the counter** or **pre-booked transfers**. Do not walk out of the terminal and hail a random vehicle. A pre-booked transfer is the safest late-night option because: - The driver is identified and tracked by the company - The vehicle details are sent to you in advance - Your flight is monitored, so the driver adjusts for delays - You walk out of arrivals and go directly to a waiting car ## Late-night pricing Taxis may charge a **nighttime surcharge** of roughly 20% between midnight and 6 AM. Pre-booked transfers typically honor the **same fixed price** regardless of arrival time — confirm this when booking. ## If your flight is severely delayed Pre-booked transfer drivers track flights and adjust their arrival time. If your flight is delayed by several hours, the transfer company will reschedule the pickup. With taxis, you simply go to the counter whenever you arrive — there will always be some vehicles, though the wait may be longer. ## Taxi vs Pre-Booked Transfer from Ezeiza Airport **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/eze/taxi-vs-transfer Both options get you to central Buenos Aires in roughly the same time — **40 to 80 minutes** depending on traffic. The differences come down to price certainty, comfort, and how much you want to think about logistics after landing. ## Side-by-side comparison | Factor | Official Taxi | Pre-Booked Transfer | |--------|--------------|--------------------| | Price to center | Fare sold at the official desk before you ride — ask for today's price | Fixed when you book | | Price known in advance | Partially (counter quote) | Yes, fully fixed | | Tolls included | Ask at counter | Usually included | | Meet & greet | No, you go to them | Yes, driver waits with name sign | | Vehicle quality | Standard sedans | Typically newer, cleaner vehicles | | Child seat available | No | Yes, if requested in advance | | Late-night reliability | Limited availability | Guaranteed, driver tracks your flight | | Payment | Cash or card at counter | Pre-paid online | ## When a taxi makes sense An official airport taxi works fine if you are arriving during **normal daytime hours** (say 8 AM to 9 PM), traveling without small children, and comfortable with the process. Go to the taxi counter inside the arrivals hall, state your destination, pay or get a quote, and walk to your assigned vehicle. The main advantage: you do not need to plan ahead. Walk up, pay, go. ## When a transfer is the better choice A pre-booked transfer is worth the slightly higher cost when: - You arrive **late at night** and do not want to deal with limited taxi availability - You are traveling with **children** who need car seats - You have **four or more large bags** and want a guaranteed vehicle size - You prefer a **fixed price** with no surprises about tolls or surcharges - This is your **first visit** and you want someone waiting for you by name ## What to avoid Do not accept rides from anyone approaching you in the arrivals hall or outside. These are unlicensed operators. Always use the official taxi counter or a pre-booked service. Also be cautious with rideshare apps at EZE — while Uber works, the pickup logistics are awkward and drivers operate in a legal grey area. The potential saving of a few thousand pesos is rarely worth the hassle on arrival day. ## Getting from Ezeiza Airport to Buenos Aires with Kids **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/eze/family-and-kids Traveling with children through Ezeiza Airport is manageable, but the **35 km ride** into Buenos Aires requires some planning — especially regarding car seats and luggage space. ## Child seats and safety Argentine law requires children under 10 to ride in the back seat, and those under 4 need an appropriate child restraint. However, **standard airport taxis and remis services do not carry car seats**. This is the single biggest reason families choose pre-booked transfers at EZE. When booking a transfer, specify your child's age and weight so the correct seat type is provided — infant carrier, convertible seat, or booster. Confirm the seat request at least 48 hours before arrival. ## Luggage considerations Families generate luggage. A couple with two children easily has 3–4 large suitcases, a stroller, and carry-on bags. Standard sedan taxis can struggle with this volume. | Vehicle type | Passengers | Large bags | Stroller | |-------------|-----------|------------|----------| | Standard taxi | 3–4 | 2 | Tight fit | | Minivan transfer | 5–6 | 4–5 | Yes, easily | | Large SUV transfer | 4–5 | 4 | Yes | If your family has more than 2 large bags plus a stroller, request a **minivan** when booking your transfer. ## The airport experience with kids Ezeiza's arrivals hall is on one level with no major obstacles. Trolleys are available inside the terminal. The walk to the vehicle pickup area is short and mostly covered. Bathrooms with changing facilities exist in the terminal. There is a small play area but it is basic — do not expect much entertainment during a long immigration queue. ## Tienda Leon with children The Tienda Leon bus is technically possible with kids but not ideal. You will need to manage your luggage yourself, the bus does not have child seats, and you still need an onward connection from its city terminal. For families, the extra cost of a direct transfer is money well spent. ## Timing tips If you can choose your arrival time, aim for **mid-morning or early afternoon**. Immigration queues are shorter, traffic into the city is lighter, and children cope better than after a midnight landing. If you do arrive late, having a transfer waiting means you go straight to the car — no queuing at taxi counters with tired children. ## How Much Does It Cost to Get from Ezeiza Airport to Buenos Aires? **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/eze/cost-to-city Ezeiza Airport is **35 km southwest** of central Buenos Aires, and the cost of getting into the city varies significantly depending on which transport you choose and where exactly you are heading. ## Price comparison by transport type | Transport | Cost (ARS) | Cost (EUR) | To where | Includes tolls? | |-----------|-----------|-----------|----------|------------------| | Pre-booked transfer | 45,000–65,000 | 40–55 | Door to door | Usually yes | | Official airport taxi | 45,000–60,000 | 38–50 | Door to door | Ask at counter | | Remis (sedan) | 40,000–55,000 | 35–47 | Door to door | Usually yes | | Uber / Cabify | 30,000–50,000 | 25–42 | Door to door | Yes (in-app) | | Tienda Leon bus | 10,000–14,000 | 9–12 | Madero or Retiro | N/A | | Tienda Leon + local taxi | 15,000–24,000 | 13–20 | Door to door | N/A | ## Cost by destination neighborhood Prices vary by how far into Buenos Aires you are going: | Neighborhood | Taxi/Transfer (ARS) | Taxi/Transfer (EUR) | |-------------|--------------------|-----------------| | Microcentro | 45,000–52,000 | 38–44 | | San Telmo | 45,000–55,000 | 38–47 | | Puerto Madero | 43,000–52,000 | 36–44 | | Recoleta | 48,000–58,000 | 40–49 | | Palermo | 50,000–62,000 | 42–53 | | Belgrano | 52,000–65,000 | 44–55 | ## Hidden costs to watch for **Tolls** apply on the Autopista Riccheri — check the current amount locally rather than relying on a printed peso figure. Pre-booked transfers almost always include tolls. With taxis, confirm at the counter whether tolls are included or extra. **Late-night surcharges** may apply for taxis between midnight and 6 AM, adding roughly 20% to the fare. **Currency note:** Argentina's inflation means ARS prices change frequently. The EUR equivalents here are approximate based on early 2026 exchange rates. Always check the current rate before traveling. ## Best value for money The **Tienda León bus** is the clear budget winner — the operator lists ARS 16,500 per person to its Terminal Pellegrini — but remember you still need onward transport from there to your hotel. For a direct door-to-door journey without complications, a **pre-booked transfer** offers the best balance of price certainty and convenience — you know exactly what you will pay before you land. ## Published Guide Pages - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/eze - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/eze/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/eze/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/eze/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/eze/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=EZE Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
