Bottom line:
-want luxury, pay for it or slip it.
- if traveling with 3 or 4 with luggage, he is cost effect for the price conscious.
-expense accounts, it is justifiable compared to other luxury limo serves/
Let's move on.
QUESTION:
Is Jackson in the house? In BA?
Toyman? I guess you are not in a remote location without internet, with 2 girls and a tackle box?
I don't think it's his business model so much as it is the constant bloviation [B]about[/B] the business model.

[QUOTE=Member #3320;425625]And his constant insinuation that all other cab drivers in BA or services like taxi ezeiza are out to con the tourists. Thats what is infuriating.[/QUOTE]Nonsense! Not all other cab drivers suck, but some sure do! (I see it everyday in the streets) and The only reason why I have to explain everything is because of the constant attacks and questions, so I answer. If you prefer a cab, or other service, please use it and be happy. Just stop telling me how to run my business and stop beating me up because the service costs more than a taxi. Give me a break!
[QUOTE=Mpexy;425617]Is Jackson going by Jax now?[/QUOTE]LOL don't know I just have always refered to his as Jax here but called him Jackson in person. I never thought of it before

But we need to be clear, it is well know that some (not all) cab drivers have conned passengers.
[QUOTE=Silver Star;425638]It's infuratiating that you think I said that taxi EZE cons tourists! Never said that, please delete above post and pick on other people.[/QUOTE]I never said that you say such and such. The key word used was "insinuate".
I have no issues with your pricing. In fact, I have used your services once and did not have any problems with you. You are the king of your business and absolutely free to price, work the way you feel like. Nobody has any right to question you.
If at all, their is a problem. It is with your constant ""insinuation"" that newbies coming to BA for the first time, are at some sort of grave risk, if they ""fail to"" avail your services. And that is where this whole issue stirred from.
Yes, in life their is always a risk - at each and every step we take. Their is even a risk when we go to a privado to fuck a girl. Who knows what awaits us, once we are naked inside the privado at mercy of the privado operators. Their is a risk when we get a street hooker to our apartment. Who knows, she might drug us and leave with all our money. Who knows if we will arrive safely once we board a not so well maintained Aero Lineas flight. Who knows what will happen if we walk in a dark street in Micro centro in chase of pussy in middle of the night. Who knows what desease will happen to us , when we decide to fuck a working girl without a condom . Who knows what will happen , should we decide to marry someone. Who knows if we will fall sick, depending on how clean is the food, which we order at the neighborhood restaurant. These are all risks. Each and every step of life is a risk. As is the risk in taking a BA cab either hailing one on the street or one at the airport. But to continuously ""insinuate"" in the minds of a gullible reader preparing for his first ever trip to BA that his trip would be ruined should he fail to avail your services. Thats where the crux of the problem lies!
No one is trying to "beat you" or "pick on you". You are a respected and senior member of this forum. And in real life, you are a nice pleasant man to talk to. All the Best.

Fred is the cheapest legitimate limo service serving eze.
If you want legit taxi or car service for three people with check-on luggage,
Fred is cost effective even for cheapos like me.
There are in every major city criminals who try to lure foreigners with the lost look on their faces into cars. In miami where I live it happens. The established licensed taxi / car services at eze.
Have little risk to none of foul play. Legit radio taxi's in Ba, in my limited experience, are safer than average looking world wide. Current economic conditions might change my opinion as I don't spend as much time now as I did a few years ago.
Please don't break fred's balls unless he gives a real reason to do so. I have never used his business, I AM CHEAP. Fred has gone out of his way to be helpful and pleasant providing locale knowledge and INTERESTING CONVERSATION THE TIMES I HAVE MET HIM IN PERSON OR BY PM ON THIS SITE.
My two cent, not worth a nickel

Used Fred because in addition to personable, quality service, and even with good Spanish, nice to know you can make adjustments to pickup on the fly in perfect English. But most of all, simple reliability
When I arrange a pickup, I don't want it 5 min or hour late. Late is late, can't stand it. So for most recent pickup, used Fred to transfer from apartment in recoleta to new apartment in palermo. Because of apartment check out and in scheduled meetings I didn't want a remise that would be Argentina "on time" and be even 10-15min off. I know there has to be some that are absolutely on time, but I was ok with paying a premium to not have to wonder or risk it.
Fred arrived on time and even adjusted half hour before pickup to come earlier as requested because my checkout went faster than expected.
You can debate at tangible levels for cost worth. Is it or is it not. For things like car size, distance, etc and say taxi service X is half price as Fred for doing same distance, same car size, etc and you'd be right to say at least for yourself Fred may not be worth it.
If you factor bit more less defined intangibles like personality, hooker talk and proven reliability. The premium Fred charges is where you have to decide is it worth it or not. I agree BTW that there is too much market pitch about safety issue and safe car from Ezeiza. I'd advise Fred to justify his premium based on service reliability and limo service nature (on the fly tweaks to schedule etc) than the safety pitch
IMO some of you are being too harsh on SilverStar. Hiring a Lincoln Town Car is not the same as taking a cab.
I booked a Lincoln Town Car through Dial 7 in NYC two weeks ago. From LaGuardia to Manhattan. Fare was 65 USD + tolls + 20 percent "gratitude", ended up around 95 USD, i.e. similar to SilverStar's prices. And the LaGuardia to Manhattan trip is much shorter than the EZE to Cap Federal trip.
Hello, Guys,
How much should someone expect to pay for a Taxi ride from EZE to Puerto Madero / Microcentro?
No needs of fancy cars, only reliable driver.
Thanks.

Thank you. Great info!
[QUOTE=Kurty;429042]Thank you. Great info![/QUOTE]SilverStar Checking in from EZE airport. 10:42PM, several Taxi EZE customers waiting 40 minutes to get a cab, remis line was very long too. Never forget when coming into EZE, you do risk a cab shortage and a long wait for a cab. For those who don't want to take risk and have a chauffeur and nice car waiting for them as they arrive there are safe and secure, licensed and insured private drivers than can take care of you. One of these companies is SilverStar. For more info check out [url]www.silverstarcar.com[/url]
I feel sorry for these guests stuck waiting, they look bored out of their mind, especially after a long, grueling international flight.
SilverStar- Because waiting at EZE airport during a cab shortage sucks.
Any idea why there's a cab shortage?
Don't tell me they're on strike too!
Wow! Never seen or heard that! I fly in and out of EZE, at least once every week, for work.
No ques ever. Taxi Ezeiza rocks. When I arrive at EZE, I just walk in to the Taxi Ezeiza counter and am in a taxi in less than 3-4 minutes.

[url]http://www.taxiezeiza.com.ar[/url][/QUOTE]I don't think there was a strike, probably due to it being late night, was close to 11pm. I often see very long lines for black and yellow cabs at AEP, especially if it is raining. If you don't wan't to risk wasting your valuable vacation time stuck waiting for a cab, hiring a private, safe and secure private chauffeur is a great way to play it safe, and get a better car and driver.

[url]http://www.taxiezeiza.com.ar[/url][/QUOTE]Very unlikely you will have to wait more than five minutes at EZE. Most of the time much less. AEP is another thing. The lines for a cab outside can be quite long. In AEP you are much better off getting a Remis from one of the stands inside. They always have cars. Plus they are much safer than the regular cabs. They are slightly more expensive but it's worth it if you are in a hurry.
[QUOTE=Silver Star;431050]hiring a private, safe and secure private chauffeur is a great way to play it safe, and get a better car and driver.[/QUOTE]Taxi Ezeiza drivers are wonderful blokes IMHO. Very polite, helpful, well versed with the routes. Absolutely no problems!
Cars are fine. Have air conditioner, nice music blurring, no breakdowns on the high way. All is well!
Longest wait I had for a taxi at eze was maybe 7-8 minutes, about the same at aep. I've NEVER felt threatened or that it was dangerous,
Have never tried Taxi Ezeiza. I book my remis beforehand when coming into EZE.
I used to take the Black and Yellow taxis from AEP but left the idea a long time ago. Needless to go into details, these taxis are just BAD. Just like EZE, I now book my remis from AEP beforehand so that I can just come out, meet the deiver and go. Remises aranged through the stands at the airport can sometimes take time depending on various reasons and situations.

By hiring a private chauffeur ahead of time, you avoid all the hassle and wasted time, and aggravation, plus more secure and better car and driver.
AEP is totally opposite of EZE. I agree that getting cabs on arrival AEP is not very smooth.
Anyone know roughly how much Remis service from one of the stands at EZE to Recoleta will cost me these days using AM-EX? (at official exchange rate I'm sure!). My landlord is offering me a pickup service with delivery to my apartment@$40US. Thanks.

And tolls, assuming they show up on time.

What you should do is at airport, change 50 us$ at whatever bullshit rate you get. You should get at least 230 or 240 peso. Then go to "taxi Ezeiza" counter. It is right in front of the exit after customs. Tell them your address anywhere in BA. They will take you in 220 pesos ( all inclusive). Once you reach yr destination, go and change. Get freshed and head out to get blue dollars and a nice fuck.
It should in any case not cost you more than 50us$ to reach your destination.

The link above is the name of the taxi service. Its awesome. You can trust them absolutely. No need to splurge on any private taxi or any other remi etc. Also avoid taxi via landlady. Hope this helps.

NO I didn't. I didn't even mention your services. The only thing I mentioned was regarding $$$ because you said 40usd was low. December it cost me $190p eze to palermo. Even if it is now 220p it is still a LOT less than a "hired car chauffeured service".
That said you have the right to charge whatever you want for your services.
As long as Taxi ezeiza service exisists at EZE, IMHO their is no need "TO SPLURGE YOUR MONEY" for a private chauffeur driven taxi. The Taxi ezieza service is impeccable with zero problems. I use them them 5-7 times a month. If you want to splurge your money, do it on the chicas. period.

For example, Taxi EZE has Honda Fits in thier fleet, for many, this would not be considered to be a premium car. Also with Taxi EZE, you do risk a car shortage and long waits (40 minutes) , I saw that myself the other night in Terminal A, and have photos to boot!
There is a difference between a chauffeured, premium car service, vs going in a random economy car.
