Taxi, Uber

Taxis and especially riding via the Uber mobile app is the best option for tourists, especially if you are travelling with several people.

Official taxis still have a station in the arrivals hall where you can find out the price and get a receipt.

Uber also works well in Buenos Aires, which is an ideal option if you don't have Argentine pesos in cash but want to pay by card.

The prices of Uber and taxis are similar, and you can pay about 16 500 ars.

Bus Tienda León

Tienda León buses provide the fastest and most transparent form of public transport to the centre of Buenos Aires.

You can buy tickets online at tiendaleon.com/bus or via the mobile app. You can also buy your ticket in the arrivals hall with a credit card or cash (Argentine pesos only)

To travel by bus or metro in Buenos Aires you need to obtain a SUBE recharge card. There is no other form of payment on buses or the metro.

At Ezeiza Airport, SUBE cards are sold at the "Open 25" kiosks, which are located in many places in all terminals.

The card itself costs 880 ars, and you load any amount of money directly onto it when you buy it.

Fares are calculated according to distance, and you'll find them broken down for each line, along with timetables, on this website: argentina.gob.ar/colectivos-urbanos.

Car rental

If you're only heading to Buenos Aires, renting a car is not worth it due to the uncluttered traffic and the relatively good metro network.

If you want to venture out of the airport and into the countryside, there are several local and large multinational car rental companies.

Prices for weekly rentals start at 360 usd.
