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

    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.

    Ana Luna has been replaced by Fred's Silver Star service as this forum's preferred limo service.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,

    Query

    Can someone advise me the difference in the prices being charged by Remis vis-a-vis Buenoa Aires Taxis?

    Lets say if a taxi is charging by meter 10 pesos for a route / specific Km. How much will a Remi charge for the same route / Km.

    Will it be double? 1.5 times? Etc etc?

    Any clues?

    Last week, I had to take a Remi out of a Transitirio as no taxis were available at that time of the night and I had to pay double of what be charged by a Taxi meter.

    So, any tips on negotiating prices with Remis? Any price chart as such for Remi's?

    Thanks in advance for your answers

    Silver Star

    I completely agree with previous poster. My buddy and I just spend 2 weeks in Argentina and the best road transportation we got was the ride with Fred from our hotel in BsAs to EZE last Sunday. Only wish we would have used him previously during the trip. My friend is a retired LEO and used to teach state troopers how to drive and he was very impressed with Fred's driving skills. Aside from the comfortable car it was nice to also have someone who drove safe and comfortable behind the wheel.

    We would never consider using any our transport than Silver Star on our next trip.

    Silver Star

    Mongers-

    On Wednesday, September 16th I enlisted Silver Star's services for an EZE airport pickup. Silver Star was there waiting for me upon my arrival even though the arrival terminal had been changed and my flight was delayed over four hours. Silver Star's Lincoln Town Car was clean, modern, and very comfortable. Silver Star provided pleasant conversation and drove the car in a safe and very controlled manner. I recommend Silver Star's services for those seeking executive level transport to / from the airport and / or for transporting friends / relatives / business associates who do not speak Spanish and / or do not know where they are going. The price was $59 USD.

    Suerte,

    Rock Harders

Quite frankly when you have completed a fifteen hour flight from the UK the last thing you want is the hassle of the taxi lottery at EZE!
    Thanks for the kind comments, it has been a pleasure to serve you, and find you alternate transport when overbooked! See you soon.

    You can basically do it, you just have to prove through your local consulate,

    That you have lived outside of Argentina for over 1yr. A used Boxer is an excellent choiceto bring in, you can make a killing. You can't sell the car until finishing a 1yr waiting period.

    Good Luck!

The amount of paperwork, and hassle to do this process is beyond comprehension, but doable.

    As far as my fares go for SilverStar, I do believe they are very reasonable, considering the costs of running a Town Car here, and a morning pickup can take me up to 4 hours door to door for me, as I leave early to ensure punctuality! If you have questions about importing a car, do consult me. And you are allowed one motorcycle to come in, and the suggestion is a used large HD.

    Also, if you move here, and stay too long, you may not be able to bring a car and motorcycle in.

    I was hoping that you could tell us how EASY it was to import an American car into Argentina!

    I wanted to bring down my old Ferrari because it's not worth much in the USA and down here it would be a real head turner and a blast to run around in.

    I have been told that the import fees are about 81% of the value that THEY put on the old turd!

    Now that ruins the deal right off the bat!

    Maybe the car is worth $40k in the USA and down here who knows what they will rate it?

    If it's 81% does that make the car cost about $73k u$s?

    That sucks!

    So I guess your rates are VERY fare if you think about that fact. And that it's a gas guzzler too!

    Let us know.

    Thanks,

    Would love to handle that transfer, let me know when you are ready!

    (Thanks)
