[QUOTE=Art Vandalay]What's the latest on Ana Luna?
Is she still doing the private remis thing? Is she reliable?
Any word?[/QUOTE]Ana Luna has been replaced by Fred's Silver Star service as this forum's preferred limo service.
Unlike Ana Luna, Fred is running a professional car service that is fully insured, correctly licensed and legally registered as an airport taxi.
Plus, he's got a nice, big, clean Lincoln Town Car he imported from the USA.
However, I will grant you that his hooters are less than impressive, if that's your criteria for selecting a limo service.
Thanks,
Jackson

Yeah but 60 bucks for a ride from EZE to the city seems a bit pricey. I'm sure it's worth it but I think I'll just take a taxi instead. (More money for chicas) Any idea on what a taxi ride costs from EZE now? I know inflation is pretty high and it's been a year since I've been in town.

$AR98 plus tip to Recoleta using Taxi Eziza as of 2 weeks ago.

Ditto
As of yesterday, 80 pesos for a cab if you just walk outside and hail one. Eze to Recoleta.
Happy Mongering All.

Taxi rip off xp
So thought I'd share my xp as learning xp for new travelers to buenos aires.
Took cab off street today at lunch time from recoleta to belgrano. Was normal registered taxi. Ride was 41 pesos on meter, everything fine till got to destination. Pulled out and handed driver 50 peso bill, then my big mistake. Looked away for 3sec to dig out a 1-peso coin to make total 51 to get easy 10p change.
But driver had 5 peso bill in hand. Thought he was giving me wrong change at first but he then claimed I'd only paid him 5 pesos, not 50. Fucking switch trick. Can't believe fell for it again. So I told him fuck off I paid him 50 and I'm yelling for first cop I see. Told me fine get out and didn't escalate over 10p change he owed me and took as reminder xp to never look away when paying.
This is second time in 4 years of in-buenos areas living time since 2005 I've been ripped off this way. First learning xp was in night cab ride, short hop recoleta to cafe Madeleine. 17 peso ride. Made rookie mistake of handing over a 10, then looked down to count out a 5 and 2 peso bill. Cabbie dropped the 10 somewhere and told me I'd only paid 7 and owed him 10 more.
Always remembered since then to always have full fare in hand first before handing over total amount and saying verbally as well amount giving him. But forgot today to also never look away. Cheap lesson relatively but just hate these damn dishonest cabbies

Your idea of eyes on is a good one and will prevent the other common scam which is to exchange your bill for a fake one and then hand it back to you and say you gave it to them, this can happen in Kioskos as well.

[QUOTE=Toymann;426897]200 pesos to recoleta. No hassles. Nice driver from Chako! Mongering on all. Toymann[/QUOTE]Hi Toymann- Do you have contact information for VIP car? Do they go from Recoleta to EZE for the same price? Do you know what the rates are for AEP? I am using both airports going in and out of BA.
Thanks Mountaineer

No contact necessary!
They have booth as you exit security at EZE on the left. If you like cabbie just get his number for return trip. Mongering on dude. Toymann

EZE to theater colon
I am going to arrive in BA Jan 22,2014 for my first visit. I have been given an estimate of 45 USD for a remise to take me & my wife from EZE to retiro (near theater colon). Is this reasonable? I think that it is too much. I am willing to pay if it is fair.

They might even drop you where you want to go. I know they will stop at certain spots if asked.
