4774Papa Posted September 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Could anyone please inform me of the average taxi or remise fare from Buenos Aires cruise terminal to a city center hotel? We arrived in BA by air and it cost about $25 or $30 from the airport to our B&B close to town. The airport is farther from downtown than the cruise terminal, which is very close. We took taxis in BA and found them very inexpensive, however, I seem to have read that the taxis at the cruise terminal have something of a racket. If you can arrange for a private pickup that might be a good thing. If you do take a taxi, ask the driver in advance (of course he might not speak English) how much in US dollars. If this is a problem, make sure they use the meter in the taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmacher61 Posted September 5, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Could anyone please inform me of the average taxi or remise fare from Buenos Aires cruise terminal to a city center hotel? 35 - 45 pesos via the taxi meter - less than 3 usd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patca Posted September 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2015 We have booked a private pickup with English speaking driver for $25 to a Recoletta hotel. We are also using him to go to EZE for $55. Seems like they all want to be paid in US dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found anything that reasonable and I would much prefer to book a private driver rather that use taxis. There are 5 of us travelling together. Thanks in advance ..

patca Posted September 5, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 5, 2015 We are using David - recommended on Trip Adviser. His email is david.transfertaxi@gmail.com. I do not know if he can take 5 and luggage, but you can ask him. He is very prompt in replying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquafemme Posted September 30, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2015 How safe and easy is it to get taxis in BA at night? My sister and I will be dining near our hotel one evening in palermo. Is it safe for women to walk around there at night say 10 - 11 pm? Should we call for a taxi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it safe for women to walk around there at night say 10 - 11 pm? Should we call for a taxi? Dinner hour does not really get underway in BA until after 9, so 1-11 is not particularly late. Palermo is the largest neighborhood in Buenos Aires. It is frequently divided into more specific areas. Most hotels are in Palermo Soho or Hollywood, both a part of the older part of Palermo (Palermo Viejo). Much of the area has been transformed but some blocks remain kind of dark and forlorn. So it kind of depends on where you are staying and dining. Cabs are plentiful in BA....if you get a bad feel for walking around in the particular area of the restaurant, ask them to phone you a cab. That way the company has a record of which cab driver picked you up, an additional safety facor. Mostly, I just grab cabs from the curb and have never had a problem other than a cabbie or two who want to take me the long way to my destination or who forget to turn on the meter and want to charge too much when we arrive (very rare, but these things do happen once in awhile).

Thanks so much for the info, That's how it is here in NYC too -- some areas are okay but have a couple of dodgy blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pochito Posted October 14, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Hi, I agree with the post above.Remember that at night fare is 20% higher. You do not have to tip the driver like in NYC however drivers very much appreciate when you do. Enjoy your trip in my hometown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
