BlaakLane.com books Aeroparque car service at a fixed fare shown before you confirm. Add your flight into AEP, the Buenos Aires address and a vehicle; the chauffeur follows the flight, allows 30 minutes free waiting after a domestic landing and 60 after a regional international one, and meets you at the designated pickup area for pre-booked cars outside arrivals.
How to book Aeroparque car service
Aeroparque Jorge Newbery lies on the Costanera Norte in Palermo, on the bank of the River Plate, only about 7 kilometres from the Microcentro. It carries Argentina's domestic network and a growing list of regional international flights to neighbouring countries, while long-haul traffic uses Ezeiza. Book in the engine on this page or on book. Enter the flight number, the address, passengers and luggage. The fare is fixed in the booking and does not depend on the route the chauffeur takes through the city.
Trips in Buenos Aires are driven by a vetted local affiliate from the LimousineWorldwide.Directory network, contracted to the BlaakLane.com written standard. Your confirmation names the operator, chauffeur and vehicle.
The Aeroparque terminal
The airport has a single, rebuilt terminal with domestic and international sectors; the runway was extended and the terminal refurbished around 2019, which made room for regional flights to Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and other nearby countries. Passengers on those flights clear migration and customs at AEP. The airport is operated by Aeropuertos Argentina, whose official site lists flights and transport options.
Where your chauffeur meets you at AEP
Standard service is pickup at the area the airport designates for pre-arranged vehicles outside the arrivals level. Once you have your bags, message the chauffeur for the exact meeting point. The chauffeur does not wait inside the terminal by default; a name-board greeting in the arrivals hall is an add-on, meet and greet, and add-ons are only available in selected locations.

Most routes into the centre use the Avenida Costanera, Avenida Lugones and the Paseo del Bajo, a sunken expressway that moved trucks away from the port district. Routes to Ezeiza cross the city on tolled highways operated by the city's motorway company. Public buses serve the airport, but with luggage a car is quicker.
Ferries to Uruguay and cruise departures
Buquebus ferries to Colonia del Sacramento and Montevideo leave from the terminal at Darsena Norte, near Puerto Madero, about 15-25 minutes from AEP. Cruise ships use the Benito Quinquela Martin terminal in the port area nearby. On a ferry or cruise day, add the sailing time and terminal to the booking so the chauffeur can plan the drop-off. See the Buenos Aires cruise terminal page for the port side.

Buenos Aires events and seasons
The Argentine Open polo championship at the Palermo grounds, next to the airport, is usually held in November and December. The Tango BA festival and world championship usually run in August, and the Exposicion Rural fills the Palermo showground in July. The city's official tourism site lists current dates. Summer, from December to February, is quieter in the city as residents head to the coast, while July and winter school holidays fill domestic flights.
Departures from Aeroparque
For a departure, the chauffeur drops you at the curb for your airline in the domestic or international sector. The Costanera and Avenida Lugones slow sharply on Friday afternoons and before long weekends, when half of Buenos Aires heads for the coast or the airport, so choose the upper end of the drive ranges above. Regional international passengers need time for migration on departure as well as check-in. Hotels in Puerto Madero and San Telmo are the furthest from AEP in the city, and a pickup from there should allow roughly 30 minutes of driving before the airline's check-in deadline.
Waiting and cancellations
Domestic arrivals include 30 minutes of free waiting from the actual landing; regional international arrivals include 60, to allow for migration and customs. Waiting beyond that is billed in 15-minute blocks. Cancellations are free more than 72 hours before pickup, 10% within 72 hours, 50% within 48 hours and 100% within 24 hours or on a no-show.
Corporate travel in Argentina
Mining, agribusiness and energy companies send teams through AEP to Neuquen, Mendoza and Salta. A corporate account keeps traveller profiles, cost centres and monthly invoicing in one place, and multi-city itineraries can be planned by a coordinator. More background on the airport is on Wikipedia.
