Ground Transportation
Taxis
Official airport taxis, known as 'remises', are the most recommended option. You can book and pre-pay for a fixed-rate journey at official kiosks inside the arrivals hall (e.g., Taxi Ezeiza). Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Cabify also operate, but pickup points may be less defined and require coordination with the driver.
Rental Cars
Major international and local car rental companies have desks in the arrivals area of Terminal A. Brands like Hertz, Avis, Localiza, and Europcar are available. It is advisable to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to secure availability and better pricing.
Public Transportation
Public transit options include shuttle buses and a city bus line. Shuttle services, such as Tienda León, provide a comfortable and direct connection to their terminal in the city center (Puerto Madero) and can be booked at their counter in arrivals. For a budget option, the public bus (Colectivo Line 8) connects the airport to the city, but the journey is long (up to 2 hours) and requires a pre-paid SUBE card to ride.
