What is a private transfer from the airport?

A private transfer is a pre-booked and prepaid transfer from the airport to the destination of the passenger’s choice, offering many side amenities. Airport pick-up at the EZE Arrivals area, assisting services with luggage, useful advice and tips about Buenos Aires attractions, hidden gems, dangerous areas, etc., are only some of the reasons why Ezeiza airport transfers are regarded as the most elegant transportation to and from the airport.

How much does an airport transfer cost?

An EZE airport transfer is perhaps the pricier way to reach your hotel after landing at Ezeiza Airport. Nevertheless, the provided services totally justify the extra cost. In any case, the price for your ride is subject to the chosen company’s price list, as well as to factors such as the vehicle’s type, the final destination, etc.

EZE Airport Transfers in Buenos Aires

Updated: July 27, 2026

A private transfer from Ezeiza (EZE) to Buenos Aires is a car booked in advance, with a driver who meets you at arrivals holding your name and a price locked in before you fly. The drive is the same 45 to 60 minutes as a taxi; what you pay for is certainty and a meet-and-greet rather than a counter queue. This page explains how transfers work, when they are worth the money over a taxi, and what to check before you book. As of 2026 the service picture below is stable.

What is a private airport transfer?

It is a pre-arranged car for your journey alone, reserved online before you travel. You give your flight number and destination when you book; the operator tracks your flight, and a driver waits in the arrivals meeting area with a sign showing your name. You walk straight to the car, the price is already settled, and there is nothing to arrange once you land. Unlike a shared shuttle you do not wait for other passengers or make other stops, and unlike a taxi you do not queue at a counter after a long flight.

How much does a transfer cost versus a taxi?

A private transfer usually costs a little more than the roughly USD 30–40 an official counter taxi charges to central Buenos Aires, and the exact figure depends on the vehicle size and your destination. What the extra buys is a fixed, pre-paid price with no counter step and a driver who is already waiting, which many travellers value most after an overnight flight. Here is how the three main road options compare:

Option	Approx cost	You wait?	Best for
Private transfer (pre-booked)	from ~USD 35+	No — driver waits for you	Families, groups, late arrivals, zero hassle
Official counter taxi	~USD 30–40	Short counter queue	Solo or couple, no advance planning
Tienda León shuttle	~USD 11–12	Yes — scheduled coach	Budget, light luggage, flexible timing

When is a transfer worth booking?

A transfer earns its price in a few clear situations. It is the calmest choice for a late-night arrival, when you want a driver already waiting rather than a queue. It suits families and groups, where one larger vehicle can be cheaper per head than several taxis. It helps first-time visitors who do not speak Spanish, because everything is arranged in advance. And it is reassuring if you are carrying a lot of luggage or valuable equipment. For a quick daytime trip on your own, an official counter taxi does the same job for a little less.

How do I book, and what should I check?

You book online ahead of your trip and give your flight details so the driver can track your arrival. Before you pay, confirm a few things:

The price is fixed and includes motorway tolls, with no surcharge added on arrival.
The operator monitors your flight, so a delay does not cost you the booking.
The meeting point is named clearly — usually the Terminal A arrivals meeting area.
The cancellation terms and a contact number are stated in your confirmation.
The vehicle size matches your party and luggage.

How far in advance should I book?

A day or two ahead is plenty for a standard car, and booking earlier costs nothing extra while it guarantees availability. Leave more time if you need a larger vehicle for a group, a child seat, or a pickup during the busy December to February summer season, when demand for the bigger vans rises. Because the operator tracks your flight, an earlier or later landing than scheduled is handled automatically, so there is no penalty for booking well ahead of a trip whose exact timing you cannot yet be sure of.

Where does the driver meet me?

In the public arrivals hall, after you clear immigration, collect your bags and pass customs. Drivers wait in the meeting area holding a name sign, on the far side of the doors from the baggage hall, which is passengers-only. International arrivals come out at Terminal A and domestic ones at Terminal C, so your confirmation will name the right building. As with any airport ride, ignore anyone who approaches you inside the hall offering an unbooked car — your driver has your name and expects you, and there is no need to accept a kerbside offer.

Is a transfer safe compared with a street taxi?

A booked transfer with a named driver is among the safest ways into the city, because the operator, price and vehicle are all settled before you arrive and there is no cash negotiation. The risk at Ezeiza has always been the unofficial drivers who tout for business in the hall, not the arranged services. Whether you choose a transfer or an official counter taxi, the same rule protects you: only travel with a driver you booked or one assigned at a staffed desk. Our taxi scams page covers the tricks to avoid.

Transfer or one of the other options?

If certainty and a meet-and-greet matter most, book a transfer. If you would rather decide on arrival and save a little, take an official airport taxi from the counter. If budget is the priority and you travel light, the shuttle bus is the best value to a downtown hub.
