Posts: 30Taxi Rate increase by 21% on June 1st?
Hello,
I've been quoted by a cab (that I used before) 350 pesos for an EZE to Microcentro cab ride for June 12.
He told me the reason for this big increase is inflation, and Taxi Rate increase by 21% on June 1st.
Is he correct?
Good price? Or should I negotiate him down or take another one?

When in Argentina, one should always keep in mind that "fleecing the gringo" is in their DNA. It isn't that they 'want' to do it, they have to do it. Most of the corporate, upper-crusty folks that I know in Argentina try to discourage Americans from doing business in Argentina. It isn't that they don't want foreign investment, it is more that they don't want another gringo to get fleeced and go home and tell the world about it and perpetuate the stereotype (which is based upon some truisms).

Posts: 746Changing Money at the Airport (EZE)
About exactly a year ago when I changed money at the airport it took about 40 minutes. And I don't think that's an exaggeration.

Whether you're that bothered about the differences at the start of your journey is a purely personal thing of course. :-)

In 1963 the president of the US was shot and killed....that doesn't necessarily make the US the most dangerous place in the world to be a politician. Quoting one person's experience isn't a statistically viable way to suggest one place is as bad as another (although not as pathetic as re-quoting it, as if that's absolute proof.....ha, ha, ha!).
Just going by considerable personal experience over a period of 40+ years, I've lived in 5 different countries on 4 different continents and visited 50+ other countries for varying lengths of time and I'm confident in maligning THIS country's name when it comes to how likely you are to get robbed. There may well be worse places in the world, but I've yet to visit them. And a quick google for robbery statistics gives this result - http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rob-crime-robberies - of course, you can't believe ALL statistics eg. I don't believe Argentina's only the second worst country in the world, although never having spent any length of time in Chile I'll begrudgingly accept it.
You mention a nephew who got robbed a few months ago in Manhattan - for each one of your nephew and anybody else you know personally who's been robbed in the US, I promise you I can give you 10 examples of people getting robbed here, in a similar time-frame, that I know personally.

Few months ago, my 20 year old nephew arrived from JFK to Manhattan and as he got out of the car after paying the cab driver. The cab driver ran away with all his luggage!
The Manhattan police refused to help despite being provided with the cab number. They just said, cab driver does not have your luggage.
Shit can happen anywhere / everywhere.
Lets not malign one country's name. Its about individuals.

Posts: 1740That sucks 3320, hope your nephew eventually got his luggage back. I assume he contacted the taxi company.
