    Hi Chicago Guy.

    Prices are basically the same, yes we can reserve the Town Car for you, with a full size van as backup, in case there is a scheduling conflict.

    Thanks.

    Hi GH.

    We take all major credit cards, and best of all is you use a US based card, no foreign transaction fee! We also ask a lot less to go back to EZE than a pickup.

    Much more roomy, comfy and safe than the crappy, beat up cabs here.

    DR, I think that it is perfectly appropriate to discuss relevant alternatives in the context of Fred's service. In the 30+ visits to Bs As, I have yet to encounter a driver that speaks English (obviously, I haven't used Fred's service, yet). No biggie as I am a cunning linguist. You should see the pained expressions on their faces as I tell them how my flight was and what the weather at home is like. I don't think the pain comes from trying to figure out what I am saying so much as it is a reaction to the sound (like fingernails on the chalkboard).

    I've always used the same well-known remis company, since my first visit (which pre-dated Fred's arrival to the scene) , because: 1) they were recommended to me by a trusted friend. 2) the kiosko is insanely easy for even me to find and 3) I've never had a problem with them. They are now up to US$56 from EZE to Cap Fed. So, IMO, the premium for Fred's service doesn't seem unreasonable for the added benefits (for a mutant like me) , especially if I am traveling for work (come on, I do a little work while I am in Bs As.).

    My first remis ride from EZE to CF was AR$89 (roughly US$29 at AR$3. 08:US$1. 00 equal to about 17%p. A. Inflation). It's about US$56 (official exchange rate AR$4. 5:US$1. 00) and US$40 (at the blue rate of AR$6. 2:US$1. 00 equal to about 7%p. A. Inflation).

    I do plan on using Fred on my next visit.
    Hi Wild Walleye.

    Thanks for your interest in us! To book a transfer, please fill out the easy to use appointment form completely on our homepage at www.silverstarcar.com And we will get back to you. Please put wild walleye in the special needs section. Because we are fully legal and pay both Argentine and US tax, we can issue you a receipt should you need it. As fas as the fares go, please keep in mind we are 100% legal, fully insured and we have awesome, well maintained cars, plus we drive in a safe and secure, reasonable and prudent manner. We look forward to you being another satisfied SilverStar customer.

    For those wondering why the pickups carry a higher fare is there is a lot more waiting time and parking involved, and also the possibility of a delayed arrival.

    Safe travels.

    Fred.

    Not critical

    I wasn't trying to be critical in anyway. I think a remis trip is about 50-60 bucks now so while he is a little higher, and I just noticed the 74 dollar trip, I certainly wouldn't say he's terribly over priced. Unlike most of the guys here seems like I'm always on a tight budget so I'm forever looking at value.

None of this has anything to do with Fred (sorry for highjacking the thread) , however, I may utilize his services on my next sojourn.
    I would give Fred my highest recommendation. He provides a great service, and he is a heckuva a nice guy. Dependable, and cuts any mystery and complications out of the equation of travel to and from EZE.

    Thanks to all of you who have taken advantage and have posted positive reviews of your experiences with us. From the beginning back in early 2009, our goal at SilverStar Transfers and Tours is to provide punctual, safe and secure transfers in a premium, clean and well maintained car, all in English, of course. Unlike many other private drivers here, we are fully licensed and insured, and pay taxes. Our service is designed for those that are looking for something better than a cheap, cramped, dangerous and uncomfortable taxi, especially after a long and grueling international flight.

    Fred.
