I was quoted a price of 198 pesos for taxi fare from the Ezeiza airport to a hotel in Recoleta; is that the going rate?
Correct!
198 is the current fare quoted by Taxi Ezeiza, the least expensive reliable transportation based at the airport. Private car "remise" companies based at the airport normally charge more. So, I agree with others, the fare you have been quoted is reasonable.
How much propina? If any.
Thanks for your responses.
No propina just round up to the nearest peso.
However, if the driver is particularly helpful with luggage, I usually offer ~ 20 pesos - but that is just me and not necessary or expected.
Thank you
A Private car company based on the airport exit (inside the building) from Ezeiza to downtown usually charges from 250 to 280 regarding the company you hire. It is a fixed cost agreed with the company. A propina is not expected but at least 10 pesos could be OK (big luggage could be more).
Is it better to pre-book with taxiezeiza online or are there better rates at the airport on arrival? Certainly seems like this is the best company to use!
How about travel from the shipping dock to Ezeiza airport. Are there also taxi booths (like at the airport) where you can get a taxi for a fixed price?
