Ana Luna picks me up on time at EZE again!
I just got here to BsAs again. As usual I was picked up on time by Ana Luna at EZE Airport. This is my 10th trip in less than 2 years and Ana has always taken great care to pick me up at EZE and deliver me in plenty of time for my departure flights! I recommend Ana to EVERYONE!
Ah, as the price police would say
[QUOTE=Zznrzz]Thomaso276,
I hear ya, I just don't like getting overcharge for anything, especially when I'm a Gringo in So. Amer. Anyway, after I posted yesterday, I found some more threads on Ana and I like having the Mercedes service when I first get into a country that I have never been to. Her fee to me is $22 US for the oneway service. I'm leaving today for Peru, Chile and I will be in BA, Argentina the evening of 28 September. I need to pack, so, I will not be back for a little while.[/QUOTE]22 dollars is a ripoff. You are stupid if you pay that. Not a centavo over 15 dollars. You can even take a bus to Ezeiza, fare is 2 pesos.
Ana Luna Airport pickup and drop off. Smooth as silk again!
Ana picked me up upon my arrival in BA at EZE and upon time for the trip home she got me to the airport 3 hours early. This allowed me plenty of time for the additional secruity checks. Thanks again Ana!
Back and forth on this trip
On my inbound trip to BsAs, I used one of the remis services which hawk their services outside the door from Argentine customs. They took me immediately to their nice car, total price was 69 pesos, plus I tipped the driver 10 pesos.
Going back, I took a taxi from Puerto Madero, which had been ordered by my hotel. Total fare, 43 pesos. Plus I tipped the guy an extra 17 pesos because I had extra pesos and didn't want to try to spend them on some sweets.
In the past I've used the services of both Mat and Ana Luna, and can vouch for each of them as nice people, reliable, and well-deserving of your business. In my case, however, I'm comfortable with making my own arrangements, and decided not to risk the chance of a miscommunication about times / dates / early arrival of my airplane, etc, and therefore went the way that I did.

Hunt 99, you are practical but no cigar...
Don't forget, holding a sign with your name on it that beats da hell of everything! In the States, if someone is holding a sign with your name on it, you must be somebody. In BsAs, if someone is holding a sign with your name on it, you are definetly a celebrity!
See this picture, a sign with my name on it! Oh My God, I feel soooo good, it makes me feel like I am so important! I wished he was Ana Luna though, I miss her! I was wondering why dosen't she speak to me any more? Maybe I should've taken her ride more often?

English Speaking Taxi Driver--Gerardo Pettigrew
Gerardo's mother was from the USA and they spoke english at home when he was growing up in Bs As. He works 6am to 6 pm 6 days per week and if you make advanced arrangements.
For a major trip eg airport or Pilar he can get expended hours.
My brother flagged him down 3 1/2 years ago and we have been friends ever since. He is a fairly good interpreter and can help with shopping or fighting with the cell phone company. He charges the staight meter or 10-12 pesos per.
Hour + tip. Fighting with CIT about their crummy cel service.
Is a flat fee or hourly gig.
NOT for mongering missions--Capt Dave or Jackson can provide better mongering info, but he can negociate pricing and services upon special request. I have not used him for this, but it should be a no brainer for him. I dout that he has Roxana's skill level at this sort of thing.
CEL-- 15 5375 0542
The phone is on 6am to 6pm only. He will pre-arrange airport pick-ups. He has become a friend over the years and is a reasonably priced resourse with local knowledge and.
Excellent english language skills.
