What Jackson said.
Hey, what ever happened to the "3 personal attacks" rule? It seems that some people have used up their quota a long time ago.
[QUOTE=Jaimito Cartero]Hey, what ever happened to the "3 personal attacks" rule? It seems that some people have used up their quota a long time ago.[/QUOTE]I agree. Calling people that post positive experiences "pimps" hardly qualifies as a personal attack so Jackson should definitely give you a pass on it.
Jackson thank you for the tip. I look forward to meeting you when I finally arrive.
I had arranged for Ana to pick me up at EZE but a few days before my flight she canceled saying she was going to take a vacation opportunity. She did offered to send someone in her place but I declined. As it turned out I also canceled my trip. However, I rescheduled a few weeks later so I contacted Ana again. This time everything worked out great and Ana was at EZE waiting for me. I was so happy with her service that I scheduled her for my return trip to EZE. However, the night before my flight she emailed me stating that she had a medical problem and would not be available to drive me to the airport. As before she offered to have someone else drive me and this time I excepted. I called her an hour or two before my scheduled pick up to verify she had arranged for my driver and she told me not to worry she had taken care of it. Well guess what no one ever showed up. And I was unable to reach Ana at any of the 3 phone numbers she had given me. So I walked to the corner with my 3 suit cases (I was there a while) and grabbed the biggest cab I saw. So was the problem Ana's fault or the other driver she arranged? Don't know and at this point I don't care. I'm not saying I won't use Ana again but I will think twice about it before I do. After all if she never shows up she could be the best looking girl in BA (and she is close) but it won't get me to the airport.
[QUOTE=Jackson][blue]Greetings Everyone,
I'm posting this on behalf of my guest who checked into my apartment on Wednesday. He was reluctant to post this himself out of concerns that he might get flamed. Imagine that?
Anyway, he made an advanced reservation to have Anna pick him up at EZE on Wednesday night at 11:30 pm. Unfortunately, she failed to show up, so after waiting and wandering around the terminal for 45 minutes, he took one of the regular airport remis services for 60 pesos.
My guest did comment that the remis driver had an "engaging personality" and "was fantastic in dropping me off to the apartment", for whatever that's worth.
Maybe there was a miscommunication about the reservation? Maybe she doesn't do night pickups? Maybe she had another customer? Maybe she had car problems? I don't know.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue][/QUOTE]

Here is a link with numerous posts attesting to how unreliable Ana Luna is.
[blue]Greetings everyone,
1. I didn't post that message on this forum or any other forum.
2. Obviously Anna suspects that I posted it because she believes that I have some animosity towards her. She's wrong. I couldn't care less about her personally.
3. My point in this thread is [u]NOT[/u] wether or not Anna Lina may or may not be reliable. My point is that the idea of scheduling somebody to pick you up at either the airport upon your arrival or at your hotel on your departure is fraught with potential problems AND completely avoidable because there are squadrons of taxis waiting 24 hours a day at both the airport and downtown, ready and waiting to take you to your destination at a price that is [u]LOWER[/u] than a scheduled car and driver.
4. Now, if you want to do some site seeing, or shopping in the suburbs, or explore the city, or investigate some real estate, then that's the time to hire a car and driver.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]

It looks like someone is trying to stoke the fire. Honestly, if Jackson wanted to really dump on Ana, I'm sure he would have no trouble doing so. Sacred cows are a ***** to deal with.
I now think he is dumping on her in a more subtle way.
I used her services when I was in BA and I had no problems with her.
Well, I must admit when I travel internationally I prefer a private car. But it is not a big deal. The only time it would be a big deal is if I have already paid and the driver did not show (never pay in advance, I never have) With that said I will hire a private driver and if for some strange reason that driver do not show, I would just use a taxi service. It is as simple as that. When private car companies do not show up, there could be a mirrored of reasons why. Do I have time to concern myself with those reasons. No? My suggestion is always have a back-up plan.
[QUOTE=Wayne Will]I now think he is dumping on her in a more subtle way. [/QUOTE]She's been quite "un-subtle" in dumping on Jackson, hasn't she? I would say that he's perfectly entitled, if what you say is true. Frankly, if this site belonged to me, and she had posted what she did, she would have been banned a long time ago. Jackson is extraordinarily indulgent with this ingrate.
[quote=Wayne Will]I used her services when I was in BA and I had no problems with her.[/QUOTE]I've used her too, and had a serious problem which causes me never to employ her again. As you see from just a few posts here, lots of fellows have had problems. But hey, she's a nice person, and good-looking, so I guess it really doesn't matter if she shows up or not, does it?
Give me a sweaty, fat guy who speaks no English but who shows up on time, all the time. I want reliable transportation, not a cute ass that I can leer at.
In my opinion, whoever this "BuenosAiresJackson" is, must dislikes, both Anna and Jackson. This person is trying to kill two birds in one stone. I have a sneaky suspicion, the person may be the owner of a Remis service.
I have no proof whatsoever. But logically, this is not a bad guess.
Unfortunately, Anna is falling for the trap!
By the way, I always use Anna mostly because I want to give her my business. It is not because of her pretty face, engaging personality, or her defensive driving. I do it, because I consider her as a friend and want to help her out in this business. If she does not show up for a pick up, I know something must have happened. In my mind, she is not irresponsible. Last year, I got stuck in Sao Paulo, because of Varig's problem. I tried to call her from the airport, but could not reach her. Finally, I got hold of Jackson who in turn informed her that my flight will be 10 hours delayed. Things happen, which sometimes beyond our control. But one thing I always tell her that if she can not come, not to send somebody else. I know Anna, and I will give her extensive benefit of doubt. But I don't know the other person and will not wait more than 15 minutes, if she does not show up.
I totally agree with Jackson, that there is more cost/time effective alternatives exist for a cosmopolitan city like BsAs. New guys, who are using Ana as one of the remis drivers, have every right to post their negative experiences on the board. Anna is running a business, and she has to clarify her end of the situation on the board.
I will be arriving on May 4. I know Anna will be there to pick me up.

Add my name to the list of fans of Ana Lunas service. She met me at the aiport as arranged and was a very gracious guide as we made it to my apt. As someone who has a very limited time budget and no sanish ability, this made my arrival much easier! Definantly reccomend her!
Is Ana still taking people to the airport?
What does a radio taxi usually charge from microcentro?
The meter charge is about 50 pesos, might be a little more if there is alot of traffic, but 50 pesos is standard. I usually pay about 60 pesos from Palermo Las Canitas, so yours would be a little less. So between $15-$20 US.
I am sure Ana is still taking clients, though I am not sure what her rates are. I would guess they are either the same or slightly higher.
