The first time I landed at Ezeiza, jet-lagged and clutching crisp dollars, a man in an unmarked jacket offered me a “great taxi price” before I’d cleared the doors. I waved him off and walked to the official desks — as I have on every arrival since.
Getting from the ezeiza airport to buenos aires city centre is genuinely easy once you know which counters to trust. You have four realistic choices: a booked remís or private transfer (door to door, the comfiest), the Manuel Tienda León shuttle bus (cheap and reliable), an app ride like Uber or Cabify (often the cheapest), or, for the brave, the public colectivo. EZE sits about 22–30 km southwest of downtown, so plan on roughly 45–75 minutes depending on traffic.
I’ve used all of these at every hour of the day and night. Below I rank them as I’d actually choose, with rough fares (these move fast in Argentina, so check current prices), journey times, how to pay, and the scams to sidestep. For the bigger picture once you arrive — trains, the Subte, buses and ferries — see our full guide to getting around Buenos Aires.
Ezeiza airport to Buenos Aires city: the options at a glance
Ezeiza (officially Aeropuerto Internacional Ministro Pistarini, in the Ezeiza partido of Greater Buenos Aires) handles almost all of Argentina’s international flights. Aeroparque, the closer city airport, is mostly domestic — if you flew into that one instead, read our guide to getting from Aeroparque airport to Buenos Aires city. For EZE, here is how the choices stack up:
| Option | Approx. cost (one way) | Time to centre | Comfort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer / remís (booked) | US$35–55 | 45–60 min | Highest — door to door, fixed price |
| Manuel Tienda León shuttle bus | Around US$15–22 | 50–70 min | High — comfy coach, set stops |
| Uber / Cabify (app) | Around US$18–30 | 45–65 min | Good — door to door, metered/quoted |
| Official airport taxi (Taxi Ezeiza desk) | US$30–45 | 45–60 min | Good — fixed price from the counter |
| Public colectivo (bus 8 + combinations) | Under US$2 | 2 hours+ | Low — cheap but slow, needs a SUBE card |
Treat those US-dollar figures as a rough guide for 2026: Argentina’s high inflation means the peso amounts shift constantly, and the gap between the official and unofficial (“blue”) exchange rates changes what your money is worth week to week. I quote dollars because they age better than pesos, but confirm the current fare before you commit.
