[QUOTE=Tumblingdice;444279]The cost of TaxiEzeiza or one from outside is not much difference really. Since a few weeks ago cost of TaxiEzeiza was 400 p. Whereas what I tend to do now is walk through into the.
Adjoining departures hall and out through the front door of that hall. I simply wait a minute or two for a taxi that has just dropped off somebody else. Cost is usually 300-350 p. The main difference is that you do not have to hang around waiting for the obligatory luggage boy as with TaxiEz, who you will HAVE to tip also. So a saving of up to 100 p + whatever tip you gave. Both fares should be INCLUSIVE of the 2 toll charges on the way to town. Make sure it does. Some degree of Spanish helps.[/QUOTE]If you carrying 10000 USD on your arrival to BA it makes sense to spend 40-50 USD on the safe taxi ezeiza or "transfer express" (which I usually use) to come back to your hotel safely with 10 k than trying to hail a cab on the street on your first visit here.

I took Taxi Ezeiza earlier in the week and it was a flat 400 pesos to Recoleta.

Thanks guys for the information. As a solo traveler, I'm going with the bus. Seems a good first step "to do as the locals" and it's cheaper and probably safer than traveling with a stranger that knows your holding lots of cash. Since it's my first trip to BA, I'm playing it safe and staying at the Sheraton Libertador next week.

They offer a shuttle from Terminal Madero to your hotel for a small fee. The problem with that is you might have to wait for a few minutes for the shuttle. You'll be in the shuttle with few other people and they might might made a few stops before reaching your hotel. The alternative is just take a taxi from there. It's only one or two km away. Keep in mind the Sheraton Hotel you probably will notice a block away from Terminal Madero in not your hotel. That is Sheraton Hotel Convention Center. Sheraton Libertador is on Cordoba and Maipu.
On the return, trying to get the MTL shuttle from the hotel to Terminal Madero can be a pain. I suggest just get a taxi to Terminal Madero.

My apartment this time is only 6 or 7 blocks from the terminal so I could walk if I feel ambitious.

Taxi Ezeiza
Taxi Ezeiza is now a flat 450 pesos from the international airport EZE into town (the return trip is less at 350p, though most taxis will honor this flat rate TO EZE). This is usually my first choice as I do not like to arrange airport pickup in advance. Taxi Ezeiza has a booth as you exit customs. Beware that the guy who grabs your bag and takes you outside to your taxi is quite aggressive in demanding a good tip. He wants/takes dollars and preys on you being tired and a bit disoriented from a long overnight flight.

Airport Taxi Cost
Just got the current (as of November 2018) pricing for a taxi from EZE to downtown/el centro.
- TaxiEzeiza: 1090 ARS or 32 USD.
- World Car: 1250 ARS.
Both are total costs including tolls; Pay in cash, not sure if credit cards are accepted; Reservation recommended.

Tienda Leon
[QUOTE=Mamboson;450376]Isn't Tienda Leon still $5-6 USD including transfer to your hotel?[/QUOTE]Tienda Leon was always cheaper than a taxi, but I do not think it was ever as cheap as you indicate in your post. The rates change frequently, and I suggest that you check Internet pages just before you leave.

Tres3.[/QUOTE]Maybe it was closer to $10. I remember it was much much cheaper than a remis. Uber was great last time I was there but it sounds like that may be a thing of the past. Clearly, the best deal seems to be riding into town with Gy. ;-).
