BlaakLane.com books Buenos Aires Ezeiza airport transfers at a fixed fare shown before you confirm. Enter your EZE flight, the hotel or apartment in Puerto Madero, Recoleta or Palermo, or a connection at Aeroparque, then choose a vehicle. The price does not change with the Autopista traffic. A vetted Buenos Aires affiliate, named on your confirmation, tracks the landing and meets you at the designated pickup area for pre-arranged cars.
How to reserve an Ezeiza transfer
In the reservation engine on this page or at book, enter Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE), the flight number, the destination, passengers and bags. The engine returns a fixed fare for each of the nine classes. Pick one and confirm; the fare is in the confirmation and will not change on the day. The 24/7 reservations and dispatch desk in Toronto then allocates the job to a vetted operator from the LimousineWorldwide.Directory network contracted to the BlaakLane.com written standard. You see the operator, chauffeur and vehicle before you fly.
Ezeiza's terminals
Ezeiza, about 35 km south-west of the city centre, is Argentina's main international gateway. It has Terminals A, B and C, which form one connected building you can walk across in about 10 minutes, plus a departures terminal opened in 2023. Most international arrivals exit through the arrivals halls in the A building, while domestic arrivals use the C side. Departures are organised by sector rather than by terminal letter, so check your airline's sector when you go back.
Pickup for pre-booked cars at EZE
The standard pickup is at the designated area for pre-arranged transport outside the arrivals hall. Airport remis and taxi desks stand inside the hall; walk past them, since your car is already booked. After customs, contact the chauffeur using the number on the confirmation and they direct you to the vehicle waiting outside. A greeting inside at the arrivals exit with a name board is the meet and greet add-on; add-ons are only available in selected locations.
Migraciones and customs timing
Argentina's Direccion Nacional de Migraciones checks passports, then bags pass through customs scanners run by the customs authority. Many nationalities enter visa-free for tourism, while some need an electronic travel authorisation or visa, so confirm on the official Argentine government portal. Overnight flights from Europe and North America often land between 5:00 and 10:00, when queues peak; allow 40 to 75 minutes from gate to curb at those times and 25 to 40 minutes otherwise. International pickups include 60 minutes of waiting from actual landing, domestic ones 30 minutes, and further waiting is billed in 15-minute blocks.
Drive times from Ezeiza
The main route follows the Autopista Ricchieri (Camino de Cintura junction) to the General Paz ring road, then the Autopista 25 de Mayo or Perito Moreno into the centre.

Is there a train from Ezeiza airport?
No. There is no rail link from the terminals. Express buses run to Retiro and Puerto Madero and public buses reach other areas, but with bags and a morning arrival after an overnight flight, a pre-booked car is the direct option. Tourist information from the city government is on Buenos Aires Ciudad.
Connecting between Ezeiza and Aeroparque
Many itineraries arrive at Ezeiza from abroad and continue from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), the city airport on the Rio de la Plata that handles domestic and some regional flights to Patagonia, Mendoza, Iguazu, Montevideo and beyond. The transfer is 40 to 45 km and takes 50 to 90 minutes. Allow at least four hours between an international arrival at EZE and a departure from AEP. Book the leg at a fixed fare; see Aeroparque (AEP).

What the fare covers at EZE
The fixed price includes the vehicle, chauffeur and included waiting. For Ezeiza trips, airport access charges and gratuity are charged at actual cost and added to the booking.

Onward trips: Uruguay, cruises and the city
Ferries to Colonia del Sacramento and Montevideo leave from the Puerto Madero ferry terminal, 40 to 70 minutes from Ezeiza. Cruise passengers embark at the Benito Quinquela Martin terminal in the port area; see Buenos Aires cruise terminal. For hourly use in the city, see Buenos Aires chauffeur service. Travellers arriving via Europe should note that the EU Entry/Exit System is now live at Schengen borders, while ETIAS has not yet launched. The airport operator's site, Aeropuertos Argentina, lists terminal information.
Busy periods in Buenos Aires
The Argentine summer holidays in January and February, Easter, the winter school break in July and the December holidays bring the heaviest arrivals, along with major football matches and concerts. Cruise season runs roughly from November to March.
Returning to Ezeiza for your flight
From Recoleta, Palermo or Puerto Madero, leave about three and a half hours before an international departure on a weekday afternoon and three hours in the evening. Enter the departure sector if you know it; departures at Ezeiza are organised by sector rather than terminal letter, and the new departures building handles check-in for many airlines. Friday afternoons before a long weekend are the slowest time on the Ricchieri.
Neighbourhoods and business addresses
Corporate visitors usually head to the Catalinas and Microcentro office blocks, Puerto Madero's towers or the northern suburbs of Vicente Lopez and San Isidro. Leisure travellers favour Recoleta, Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood, and San Telmo for its antique markets. For a day of meetings across several districts, hourly chauffeur hire with a 3-hour minimum is usually better value than a string of single rides. Winery trips to Mendoza start with a domestic flight from Aeroparque.
Corporate and group travel
Teams arriving together, incentive groups and event delegations can be moved in Sprinter Vans or several SUVs, planned by a coordinator and confirmed in writing; see group transportation. Regular travellers can use corporate accounts for monthly invoicing and traveller profiles.
