I can help with one question: Yes, you can charge your taxi to your visa card at the counter.Originally Posted by TYORR

Having read about a recent 30% taxi rate increase, I will guess that the rate from EZE to microcentro will be AR$115-120 based on my having paid AR$90 for the same ride in June.
Also, if you want to pay cash, or need cash before leaving the airport, there are ATMs after you leave the customs area, to the left, and then you can go reserve your taxi on the opposite side (post-customs) of where the booths are on the inside. (That doesn't make sense, I know - but the taxi service booths have a dual counter - one to the left as you are walking to the customs exit, and one, if you loop around to the left after you leave customs.
EZE Banco Nacion should be open, its normally open 24/7. If not, then the Banco Piano booth will be open for sure... please avoid the crooks of Global Exchange that are in the baggage claim area.

Is the window of two banks in the custom area?
Or, outside it?
When I was in BA last summer, I get ARS cash at HSBC ATM use for my HSBC card.But only ARS300 one time limit and my bank charge me USD3 for transaction fee
I try to withdraw at other local bank it is same limit.
Is USD100 equivalent value Hidegac limit of one time for ATM in Argentina
usually?
Or, outside it?

Unfortunately it is, although it wasn't always so. With most (all?) foreign-issued cards you won't be able to withdraw more than 300-400 pesos in one transaction. These limits were imposed a couple of years ago ostensibly for "security reasons" (someone steals your card and PIN or marches you to the ATM and forces you to withdraw $$ and they can only get $300). The real reason IMO is purely profiteering as you get charged a fee per transaction as you pointed out, and there is nothing to stop you re-inserting your card and making 3 or 4 $300 consecutive withdrawals from the same ATM! Plus, I can withdraw $1000 in one transaction with my Argentina debit card so go figure!Originally Posted by TYORR

The Banco Nacion has two "tellers".... in the sense that you can usually exchange money before you exit the final customs secure area, when you exit the doors make a strong right... else, if you wander out of the second set of doors then make a hard right U turn and walk in the main entrance of the Banco Nacion branch.
I will repeat again.... do not use the crooks that you have in the baggage area... you can lose up to 15% of the value of your USDs / Euros when you change with these idiots.

Yes, they will take $100s.... and as long as you dont walk up with more than a few thousand dollars it will be OK. I doubt that amounts of up to USD5,000 would even raise an eyebrow.Originally Posted by REC1111
Is there a limit to how much these banks will change at one time? Will they take $100 bills?
Forex regulations say that any one person transacting in more than USD50K per month will need to file additional paperwork etc, but its unlikely a visiting tourist would ever get to those levels unless we are talking about some whale gambler, etc.
Banco Nacion is the best "legal" exchange rate that I´ve found so far in BUE, and I went to several places. As previously said "Ezeiza Taxis" (white and blue sign, right in from of you when going out on the arrivals hall) are the cheapest (about 90$) and they have an offer of 65$ for going back to the airport. Be sure to take their phone number when you get there.

The actual day marking the death of General José de San Martín is Sunday 17th but the holiday is moved to Monday August 18th. Yes, all major banks will be closed although you will probably be able to find somewhere to change your money in the touristy areas of Buenos Aires (the main shopping street - Florida - for example).Originally Posted by TYORR

Please note that changing money on days like weekends and holidays (ie. bank and financial market holidays) may mean having to accept less than favorable exchange rates. Whenever possible, avoid transacting on these days.
