Transfer EZE -> Recoleta
Most of the info in this forum on EZE transfers seems to be a bit dated, so I thought it would be appropriate to start a new thread.
We're traveling to Bs As in August for our usual month there. In the past, our apartment rental service has offered a transfer service from another company -- the cost has gone up to $70 each way, with increases likely before we arrive.
Is Dante still recommended for EZE transfers? Are there any other recommended transfer services? Is $70 a reasonable rate nowadays? (I've looked at SilverStar, but we really don't need 'luxury' service or prices.)

Any of the EZE booths just past customs and prior to the general circulation area are fine. I've probably used them all. Standard cars, hovering about US$40. MTL is about 20% more expensive than the rest.

Most of these transfer services offered by hotels/apt rentals will charge a premium compared to what can be safely booked on arrival at the airport.

When you get to their downtown terminal at Antarctica, then you can cab it quickly and at much lower cost than you will be charged by the airport taxi cabal.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I wasn't sure if those services just past customs were reliable, but I'm sure that's what we'll do.
A friend told us about the MTL bus, but for 2 people just off a 11 hour flight with checked bags for a month long stay, it's not much more expensive to get a cab and go straight to the apartment.

Manuel Tienda León, a booth just after customs, has traditionally offered reliable service; you can see their pricing to Bs. As. and other destinations here, for both Bus and Remis (chauffeured car). You can even purchase online in advance if you so desire. The others seem to be OK as well, and often more economical.

Taxis are a good option.
If you want more of a luxury experience (at a higher but not unreasonable price) , Fred and Karina at Silverstar (silverstarcar.com) provide terrific service.

Transfer is INCLUDED if you ask in advance..
Why don't you use Manuel Tienda Leon's EZE express bus? For $14 one way. I've done this trip several times. Usually it's quick. Just walk out the front of the Int'l terminal, to the left side, walk 150m to where the road curves around left in front of the other terminal, then you will see the MTL bus stop.

I totally agree

I'd just take a cab. You won't have to wait for the bus to fill, and then won't have to grab a cab when you get into the city. If you have a fair amount of luggage, make sure the agent sees how much you have to make sure the car you get can handle it. (Often, a bag has to go in the front seat, as well as filling up the trunk.)
The bus is okay for singles short of cash and in no hurry but when there are two of you just take a cab....far easier and quicker.

I'm not going to Recoleta, but in that kind of direction from EZE (Hotel Las Americas), however I don't think a new thread is necessary.
I am due back to EZE on 15th Sept, arriving with LAN from GRU just after lunch. I usually use the desk situated once you are in the public area, blue and white signage (is that Taxi Ezeiza?), the last couple of trips I have had to hang around a while and then not had a great experience getting to the city, ropey cars, getting lost etc.. Although price wise they are acceptable.
Are there better car companies post customs before the public area or is there someone anyone can recommend online so I can pre-book?
Also if anyone fancies a beer/bite to eat on 15/16th drop me a message, my itinerary is not confirmed yet regarding the weekend with the exception of my arrival. Might have to head off to Cordoba on Sunday so might just be Saturday night I am at a loose end.
Thanks in advance!

Has anyone used these guys:

Any recommendations or advice? They seem similar to MTL but their site is lot more user friendly.
