Airport Pickup/Dropoff
You’re likely to arrive at the Ezeiza International Airport (code: EZE), which is a 40-60 minute drive from Buenos Aires depending on traffic. The mostly domestic Aeroparque Internacional Jorge Newbery airport (code: AEP), is inside the city of Buenos Aires and is 15-20 minutes to much of Buenos Aires. There are a few options to get to/from Buenos Aires below.
For an easy and safe journey, here are some English speaking trusted drivers recommended by dancers from our Tango Lounge community. Not only will you get a ride, you can also enjoy some good conversation and learn more about the lives of Argentinian people.
- Marco Bellini is a Tango singer (for the Romantica Milonguera orchestra), milonga organizer (part-owner of the Atroden venue, and an organizer of the Maldita milongas) and Tango producer who enjoys talking with people and also drives as a way to support his other sometimes “pro bono” activities. He speaks English very well. He may not always be available due to his main gigs, but you will have a very memorable ride. He charges USD $25 or €25 or equivalent in pesos. WhatsApp: +54 11 4560 1514.
- Federico Trummer is very nice and accommodating, patient, and always arrives early. Contact him on WhatsApp: +54 11 5845 0845 – tell him that TangoVida referred you. You can pay him in pesos or the equivalent USD/EUR. He speaks English very well.
- Manuel Mazariego is friendly, also a Tango dancer/teacher, and speaks functional English & French. He charges USD $20 or €20 or equivalent pesos. WhatsApp:+54 22 1314 7738
- Gustavo is a Tango dancer, reliable, responsible, and speaks Intermediate English. He charges USD $30 or equivalent pesos. Read his reviews on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/taxidrivergustavo. WhatsApp: +54 11 5108 1067
The car hire apps (Uber, Cabify, Didi, inDrive) are available at the airport and are the least expensive option. Some drivers may not accept you if you’re using a credit card – after they accept your ride, they might send you a message asking if you can pay with “efectivo” (Spanish for cash) and if you can’t, they’ll cancel. But, enough drivers accept credit card payment, especially Uber.
Remis companies are official airport Taxi services. Inside the EZE airport terminal, you will see Remis booths for Taxi Ezeiza and Manuel Tienda Leon, where you can prepay for your ride. This is safe and reliable, but also the most expensive option.
The EZE Airport website has a full list of transport options including VIP car service, buses, and car rental companies.
