How Much Does a Private Transfer from Ezeiza to Buenos Aires Cost?

Updated August 2026 · 6 min read

If you're about to fly into Buenos Aires or head out to Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), the same question always comes up first: how much does the transfer cost? The short answer is that a private transfer to Ezeiza in Buenos Aires usually falls within a fairly predictable range once you know what to look for. This guide walks through the factors that move the price and what's worth checking before you book.

What determines the price of a transfer to Ezeiza

The route between Ezeiza and downtown Buenos Aires runs about 35 km and, depending on traffic, can take anywhere from 40 minutes to just over an hour. On that basis, the final price mainly depends on:

• The pickup or drop-off point within the city. A transfer to Palermo isn't the same as one to Vicente López or the southern suburbs — the actual distance from the airport changes the rate.
• The type of vehicle. An executive sedan for 1-2 passengers is priced differently than a minivan for family groups or a van for 8-10 people with luggage.
• The flight time. Late-night or holiday transfers sometimes carry a surcharge, depending on the operator.
• Whether the price is fixed or metered. This is the key factor, covered in more detail below.

Fixed rate vs. meter: the difference that matters most

The variable that most affects the experience (more than the price itself) is whether you book a service with a fixed rate agreed in advance or a vehicle that runs on a meter. With a fixed rate, you know exactly what you'll pay before getting in the car, regardless of traffic on the Ricchieri Highway or the roads into the city. With a meter, a traffic jam can double the estimated cost with no warning.

For someone arriving off a long flight, with luggage and no signal to track the trip, that certainty is worth more than the number itself.

What a well-quoted transfer should include

Before booking, it's worth confirming the quote includes:

1. Waiting time at the airport. A reasonable standard is 60 minutes from landing, to cover immigration and baggage claim at no extra cost.
2. Tolls. The route between Ezeiza and CABA passes through tolls on the Ricchieri Highway and, depending on the destination, the Perito Moreno or Dellepiane highways. Confirm whether they're included in the rate.
3. Flight tracking. If your flight is delayed, the driver should know automatically and adjust the schedule, without you having to notify anyone.
4. Confirmation by WhatsApp or email with the driver's and vehicle's details before the trip.

Is a private transfer worth it compared to other options?

It depends on what you're prioritizing. If minimizing cost is the only goal, public transport (bus line 8 to Puente 12 and a connection) is the cheapest option, though it involves several transfers and isn't practical with large luggage. If you're looking for the balance between predictability, comfort and not having to sort anything out at the airport after a long flight, a private transfer with a fixed rate is usually the most reasonable choice.
