Posts: 428Have mostly used taxi ezeiza myself as well, but did use Ana Luna back in the day, 2005-2008, for a couple pickups and returns.
Forgot what she exactly charged but with tip I ended up always giving her $100 USD. Course, the value at least I found with her wasn't just the ride but the monger friendly conversation on ride in / out.
Don't know the guy but if Fred's stated target niche is first class passengers, his ~$200 price really isn't an issue. Pocket change compared to the flight. However just my opinion, but irrespective ability to pay any given price point, even in a far higher cost of living area like Los Angeles a first class limo transfer / pickup would only run $150-160 for a comparable time / distance.
When I looked at his website before arriving this trip, that's basically what I took a pass on. His right to charge whatever he wants and if he can get it, god bless him. Capitalism at it's finest. Just for me I figured paying more in Argentina for same or better service I'd get in California seemed odd.

Posts: 77Hey guys I was just down, and as allways I take taxi ezeiza and I never had a problem about, tail gating, speeding issues
And yes I paid $198 from the airport to capital and I allways call them for the return trip, and allways on time. This past time he came 15 minutes early and waited till I went out. And the ride back is less expensive its $160. And this time down I took 8 big bags and 2 roller boards, had to get 2 cars, one for us and the other for the bags, and no problem. I got an exchange rate at $ 6.30 to one buck
Taxi eze gets my vote for the money and the service. I won't change them

Thanks for your business advice. We are actually priced quite reasonably for the quality of car and service we provide (Check out the fares that the Park Hyatt charges for similar service, and you will see what I'm talking about) We are more for those that are staying at the top hotels, executives and premium travelers who fly 1st class and those that want to be in car fit for a President, not a Honda Fit. At SilverStar, our goal from the beginning is to be the best, not the biggest. But ask less than the 5 Star Hotels. We do not in any way compete (and are not trying to) on price with cheap, tiny taxis, just like Outback Steakhouse does not compete (and can't) compete on price with McDonalds. Unfortunately, many Argentine taxi drivers here (I see it everyday) tailgate, speed excessively, weave in and out, don't use turn signals, cut people off, make left hand turns from the right hand lane and drive with their lights off at night. (All possibly with you stuck and helpless in the subcompact car) The fact that most Argentines haven't had formal driver education really shows here in the streets! We wanted to offer something unique and better for those who understand our pricing will not be the same as a taxi. It's not uncommon for us to get booking for rides back to EZE from those that had wanted to save money on the way in, but had a horrible cab experience at EZE.

We respect your business strategy and your professional attitude.
You have driven me once. I know, you are a nice guy.
But I honestly feel you are OVERPRICED, dude!
Irrespective of the fact that you may drive a superior car with airbags, do not do tailgating and may speak in chaste English!
Your deals are ""unreasonable"". ( If I was in your position, I would get normal cars, hire drivers , price lower than Taxi Ezeiza, advertise on all argentina /expat forums and have a thriving competetion to Taxi Ezeiza.) But alas! Such is not the case, unfortuately!
I urge newbies reading this forum to take your services only if they are coming to South America for the first time ever or if coming with children etc and are too nervous! Else for all other newbies, I will suggest to avoid your expensive services. They should take "taxi ezeiza" at 198 pesos (roughly us$ 30 ONLY)! The balance money ( what they would spend to avail your services, can be spent on a nice fuck on arrival)

Taxi Ezeiza is absolutely secure. Drivers are trained, polite, helpful. They do not try to con you or sell you anything. You will reach your destination safe and sound even if you do not speak a sigle word of Spanish. Cars are safe. Your baggage is safe. NOTHING will happen to you barring Force Majeure!

Posts: 329SunSeeker,
I was referring more to the Black and Yellow Cabs at EZE, that often use Fiat Palios and Chevy Corsas, with rock hard cloth seats and no airbags both- a sub sub compact cars. Microcompact was indeed a stretch, thanks for calling me on that. (I just tried to edit my post but couldn't) Taxi EZE uses Honda Fits in their fleet, so that is for sure subcompact. Our Citroen C6 Exclusive is a full size sedan with about the same interior room as a Mercedes S Class with a silky smooth hydraulic ride, reclining rear heated seats, rear climate control and airbags everywhere, with Xenon directional headlamps vs a cab driver that may not even turn his lights on. I often do see Taxi EZE drivers tailgating and weaving in and out at high speeds on the highway. SilverStar is for those who want a VIP / Executive ride, for less than the 5 Star Hotels. We drive in a professional, reasonable and prudent manner, unlike many of the uneducated taxi drivers here.
If anyone knows how I can edit my past thread, I'd like to change microcompact to subcompact.

Posts: 488Got back in BA this morning. Took an EZEIZA taxi for $198 pesos, EZE airport to Palermo. Nice sized vehicle, definitely not a "microcompact fiat", professional acting driver, took about 35-40 minutes to arrive at my door.

Thanks for taking advantage of SilverStar Transfers and Tours in the past, we really appreciate the opportunity to serve you. As far as luggage goes, we generally like to carry a bag or 2 for you on the way out, and load the trunk gently ourselves. We also like to provide ice cold water at no extra charge, so our guests can hydrate after a long, grueling flight. Other SilverStar advantages are we speak English just like you do, and can suggest cool things to do on the way, we also have the fast pass for the toll lanes, this can shave off up to 10 minutes per trip, giving you more time to enjoy yourself here. Our guests also won't have to worry about the fuss and hassle, and possible delay of getting a cab (especially at AEP) , once you come out and clear customs and do meet and greet, you will be on your way to your destination. SilverStar is designed for those premium travelers who want the quality, comfort and convienence of a 5 Star Hotel Car, but without the ripoff 5 Star hotel prices. Our Presidential Citroen C6 Exclusive has more room than an E Class Mercedes and rides better too! Our cars are also airbag equipped, unlike most of the airport cabs that do not have airbags, putting you at a greater risk of injury.
Of course we are not trying to and we never can compete on price alone with a microcompact Fiat taxi, but we can provide a better car and driver at a lower fare than the 5 Star hotels. At SilverStar our goal is to provide the best possible car service at the lowest possible cost. If you are merely looking at fares, we will not be your best option of course. If however you are looking for a premium car and driver for less $, then SilverStar is a slam dunk.
And thanks to all of you who have taken advantage of SilverStar. We have been serving you for close to 4 years now.

Taxi Ezieza works GREAT! Anybody here who condemns "TE" is bonkers. Even if you are first time in BA, do NOT hesitate to use taxi Ezeiza.
Like Bob says, the driver lifts your bags. I doubt Silver star will "stoop" to such levels!
I used Silver Star once, many years ago. No complaints but why pay 3 times the price unless your company is paying it or you have too much money to burn, and want to get rid of it asap.
