Tariffe taxi a Buenos Aires in ARS, prezzi dall'aeroporto di Ezeiza e Aeroparque, Cabify vs tassametro, e consigli per navigare l'alta inflazione nel 2026.
Buenos Aires ha una delle migliori reti di taxi del Sud America — i Radio Taxi gialli e neri con tassametro sono ovunque.

Tariffe Taxi a Buenos Aires (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 Due to inflation, the peso figures in this guide may be outdated by the time you arrive — use Cabify or InDriver for a real-time fare estimate in ARS.

Airport Fares — Ezeiza (EZE) and Aeroparque (AEP)
Porta dollari statunitensi o euro — molti servizi taxi aeroportuali quotano in USD per proteggersi dall'inflazione, e otterrai un accordo migliore pagando in valuta straniera al tasso del mercato parallelo. Conferma prima del viaggio se il USD è accettato.
Cabify è l'app di ride-hailing dominante a Buenos Aires — più popolare di Uber qui. Offre prezzi fissi anticipati e pagamento in-app. InDriver ti permette di proporre una tariffa e i conducenti fanno offerte, il che può portare a risparmi del 15–25% nei periodi tranquilli. Entrambe le app sono affidabili e i conducenti si localizzano bene sulla mappa.
Radio Taxi — Fermare un Taxi per Strada
I Radio Taxi autorizzati (carrozzeria gialla, tetto nero) sono sicuri da fermare per strada a Buenos Aires — questa è una delle città latinoamericane dove fermare un taxi per strada è generalmente sicuro. Cerca l'insegna luminosa "Radio Taxi" sul tetto e un tesserino identificativo del conducente ben visibile all'interno. Verifica sempre che il tassametro parta dalla tariffa corretta dello scatto alla partenza prima di iniziare il viaggio.
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.
Domande Frequenti
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.
