Airport Taxi Services

[QUOTE=Sidney;431362]A couple of prominent mongers have tried to convince me that all taxi drivers are honest. At night,do these taxis drive with their lights 'on or off'?[/QUOTE]I guess the crooks are starting early with the new Evita 100 peso notes,since many people haven't seen them yet.The trick with the new Evita notes for verifying is look at the green seal on the front left of the note,there is a reflecting line in the middle that moves up and down as you move the bill up and down,plus a better silver strip down the mid-left side.Of course always best with a can diver to pay with small bills,and round up to the next peso or 2,don't bother them with asking for small change.

Best for Argentina is to do what Canada did,go to Australian plastic polymer notes,they last longer,and allow for a see thru window,making the notes virtually impossible to counterfeit.

Arrived tonight at EZE from a new voyage. And for once Taxi Ezeiza was bursting with clients like honey attracts bees. I walked over to the girl and asked her, "when is the car avbl?" And she said "wait time about 25 minutes".

I thought "Man, how happy my friend Silver Star would be to read this!" I could literally imagine silver star & TL jumping with joy on their sofa as they read this!

Ha ha.

Anyway, immediately facing Taxi Ezeiza stand, to its right are silver railings. If you approach the silver railings, suddenly you will see another 5-6 vendors offering services similar to Taxi Ezeiza. I just approached the first one and asked " do you have taxi now", she said "no, wait time 10 minutes. Charges 230 pesos" I said "business denied" Then I asked the next one " do you have a taxi now", she said "wait time 5 minutes. Charges 210 pesos". I said "business denied". Then I asked the 3rd one. I said " do you have a taxi now. She said "yes sir, we have 4 cars with 4 drivers ready right now". I said " how much" she said "200 pesos". The driver grabbed my bag and led me to a nice brand new honda civic. I was home in 30 minutes or so. Air conditioned, nice English music on FM 102. 3 Driver literally bending over to impress me for return business.

I love BA

Would feel a lot better if you did not even come to MY TOWN!

Save your bullshit for the people that deserve it!

I am not a taxi service and I do not benefit from your mistakes.

Thanks,

I do not "come" to this town. I "live" in this town.

Ditto :- Save your bullshit for the people that deserve it!

[QUOTE=Silver Star;431395]Was that car official, with the correct licensing and insurance? Just wondering.[/QUOTE]Oops! I forgot to check all these vital details. What a folly!

What if the car had a accident! Or if they would have kidnapped me? Or if the driver was a fugitive? did I perform a check on criminal records? what if the car had a flat tyre in middle of the journey? What if the driver got lost on the road? What if the driver was driving without a driver's license? did I check it? No, i did not!

Gosh! Terrible things would have happended! What a narrow escape! Ja ja.

On another note, I did notice they had a proper kiosk at the main terminal of the airport in public view and not operating a internet business! I know where exactly to catch them, should they attempt a con.

Why don't you tell us about the English Taxi drivers, they still hate the English down here for some reason.

An Argentine is an Italian that speaks Spanish but thinks he's British!

Funny Lot!

I require transport from hotel in recolleta to EZE and then 2 weeks later from EZE to aeroparque. What option would suit me best for price / reliability? I paid $240 using taxi ezeiza one way from EZE AEP last week.

[URL]www.silverstarcar.com[/URL][/QUOTE]Most likely 3-4 hours.

[QUOTE=BorisB;431829]Most likely 3-4 hours.[/QUOTE]Your safest bet, and fastest way would be to have a reliable chauffeured car service do this transfer, especially if it is a workday. A 4 hour window is the minimum we like to take. We also check the current traffic status before we decide which route to take.

Rather stupid as for some destinations the flight is less than 2 hours and the inbound flight hasn't even left BA! And often never does for whatever reason.

Because going to and from the airport in Buenos Aires doesn't have to suck.
