Iguassu transfers - Interhabit or other suggestion?
I'm flying into the Argentinean airport at Iguassu. I'm staying at Das Cataratas on the Brazilian side. The hotel are quoting something like 480 reals (about $230 I think) for a return transfer. On the web I found Interhabit who quoted $56 for a private transfer so booking return transfers with them would be less than half the hotel price.
Has anyone used Interhabit and are they reliable? You have to pay upfront online so I'm a bit hesitant.
Otherwise another operator who'd be reliable would be useful to know.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

As someone who also needs to get from IGR to the Brazilian side of the falls, I am curious about the best bet for ground transportation. How much, for example, might a taxi cost? Can I take a bus instead? Would I be better served by prearranging a driver?

Just to help anyone else with this.
We flew into the Argentina side airport and there was a remise and taxi desk in the baggage hall. They quoted us 220 pesos for a one way transfer to Das Cataratas, or 270 pesos for a one way transfer but with a stop at the Argentina side of the falls where the remise driver would wait for 4-5 hours for us storing our luggage in his car.
The remise driver we had was reliable, the car was new and clean and we were very happy not to have booked the over-priced Das Cataratas transfer.
