Wie viel kostet ein Taxi in Buenos Aires? (Tarife 2026)
Buenos Aires Taxitarife in ARS, Flughafenpreise für Ezeiza und Aeroparque, Cabify vs. Taxameter-Taxis und Tipps zum Umgang mit der hohen Inflation im Jahr 2026.
Buenos Aires verfügt über eines der besten Taxinetzwerke Südamerikas – gelb-schwarze Radio Taxis mit Taxametern sind überall zu finden. Die Herausforderung ist Argentiniens Inflation: Die Tarife ändern sich häufig, und die unten angegebenen ARS-Beträge könnten sich bis zu Ihrer Ankunft verschoben haben. Überprüfen Sie den aktuellen Tarif stets bei Ihrer Ankunft.
Buenos Aires Taxitarife (2026)
All licensed Buenos Aires taxis (Radio Taxis) use a taximeter. The flag fall rate and per-km rate are set by the Buenos Aires city government (GCBA) and updated periodically — sometimes multiple times per year due to inflation. The meter automatically applies the correct tariff. A night surcharge of 20% applies between 10 pm and 6 am. Due to inflation, the peso figures in this guide may be outdated by the time you arrive — use Cabify or InDriver for a real-time fare estimate in ARS.
Buenos Aires Taxi Rates (2026)
Argentina's inflation means taxi rates are updated by city decree multiple times per year. The ARS figures below are approximate for early 2026 and may be significantly out of date. Always use Cabify or InDriver for a real-time fare quote in current ARS — or check the GCBA official website for current tariffs.
Airport Fares — Ezeiza (EZE) and Aeroparque (AEP)
Führen Sie US-Dollar oder Euro mit – viele Flughafentaxidienste setzen Preise in USD an, um sich gegen Inflation abzusichern, und Sie erhalten ein besseres Angebot, wenn Sie in Fremdwährung zum Schwarzmarktkurs zahlen. Bestätigen Sie vor der Fahrt, ob USD akzeptiert wird.
Cabify ist die führende Fahrdienst-App in Buenos Aires – hier beliebter als Uber. Sie bietet feste Vorabpreise und Zahlung in der App. InDriver ermöglicht es Ihnen, einen Fahrpreis vorzuschlagen, auf den Fahrer dann bieten, was in ruhigen Zeiten Ersparnisse von 15–25% bringen kann. Beide Apps sind zuverlässig und die Fahrer sind gut auf der Karte nachverfolgbar.
Radio Taxis – Auf der Straße anhalten
Lizenzierte Radio Taxis (gelbe Karosserie, schwarzes Dach) können in Buenos Aires sicher auf der Straße angehalten werden – dies ist eine lateinamerikanische Stadt, in der das Winken auf der Straße im Allgemeinen in Ordnung ist. Achten Sie auf das beleuchtete "Radio Taxi"-Schild auf dem Dach und einen sichtbaren Fahrerausweis im Inneren. Bestätigen Sie stets, dass das Taxameter beim richtigen Grundpreis startet, bevor Sie losfahren.
Radio Taxis — Street Hailing in Buenos Aires
Unlike Mexico City or parts of Brazil, street hailing in Buenos Aires is generally safe. Licensed Radio Taxis are yellow with a black roof and display an illuminated "Radio Taxi" sign. The driver must show a visible ID card inside. Always confirm the meter is running at the correct flag fall before the car moves. Ask "¿Está corriendo el taxímetro?" ("Is the meter running?") if in doubt. Reputable radio taxi companies include Radio Taxi Premium (011-5238-9000) and Radio Taxi Plus (011-4931-1200).
Navigating Buenos Aires — Transport Tips
Buenos Aires has an excellent Subte (metro) network with 6 lines covering the main tourist areas including San Telmo, Microcentro, Palermo, Recoleta, and Belgrano. Subte fares are charged via SUBE card (rechargeable, available at kioscos/newsstands) at a very low fixed fare — typically under $200 ARS per journey. For late-night travel after the Subte closes (around 11 pm), taxis and Cabify are the practical options.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
How much is a taxi from Ezeiza Airport (EZE) to Buenos Aires city centre?
Approximately USD 35–55 or the equivalent in ARS via the official Manuel Tienda León remis booth inside arrivals. The journey takes 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. Due to Argentina's inflation, ARS figures change frequently — check with the booth on arrival.
Is it safe to hail a taxi on the street in Buenos Aires?
Yes — Buenos Aires Radio Taxis (yellow with black roof) are generally safe to hail. Look for the illuminated Radio Taxi sign and a visible driver ID inside. Confirm the meter starts correctly. Cabify and InDriver are alternatives if you prefer app-based tracking.
Is Uber available in Buenos Aires?
Uber operates in Buenos Aires but in a legal grey area due to taxi union opposition. Drivers may ask you to sit in the front and act as a friend. Cabify is legally clearer, more comfortable, and equally well-priced. InDriver is a good budget alternative.
Why are Buenos Aires taxi fares so hard to quote accurately?
Argentina's inflation means the GCBA updates taxi tariffs multiple times per year. ARS figures quoted anywhere online can be outdated within weeks. Use Cabify for a real-time ARS fare estimate, or convert recent metered rates to USD at the current exchange rate for a stable reference.
Should I pay for Buenos Aires taxis in USD?
Many airport transfer services accept USD and price in dollars to hedge against peso inflation. In the city, Radio Taxi meters run in ARS. You can tip in USD at the unofficial exchange rate if the driver agrees, but the meter fare itself is in ARS.
Should I tip taxi drivers in Buenos Aires?
Rounding up to the nearest $500–1,000 ARS is customary and appreciated. A 5–10% tip is generous but not expected. For Cabify, an in-app tip can be added. Cash tips in USD are always welcomed by drivers.
