Argentina airport exit guides
Buenos Aires EZE and AEP airports are safe inside. Use Cabify, Uber, or an official 'Manuel Tienda León' remis. Always pay for taxis in local pesos — USD pricing is always worse.
Common exit risks
- • USD 'flat fare' quotes 2–3× the peso-metered rate
- • Counterfeit peso change on cash payments
- • Unofficial 'remis' at EZE arrivals
Cash & card advice
- • Radio Taxi and Tienda León remises are safe. Blue-dollar rate makes cash-in-USD tempting but it's always a worse deal.
Ride-hailing status
- • Uber, Cabify, and DiDi all work in Buenos Aires. Uber is legal but sometimes disputed by taxi unions.
