Prearranged private car, sold by the airport, sits just past customs
Remis Official Car Service is the airport’s own private car option at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), with desks reported “right after exiting customs” in arrivals. You walk out of the secure area, spot the official remis counter, pay there, and then meet your assigned driver just outside on the arrivals curb.
This is a private car, not a taxi meter: you agree a fixed fare at the official desk before you get in, which many flyers prefer over haggling with curbside drivers in pesos. At AEP that usually means quoting a flat rate for central Buenos Aires or specific neighborhoods like Palermo or Recoleta, then handing the printed slip to the driver so there’s no argument at drop-off.
Service typically runs in sync with flight schedules from early morning to late evening, covering the period when domestic Aerolíneas Argentinas waves land and the last departures leave around 10–11 p.m. If you’re on a midnight-adjacent arrival or major holiday, assume thinner staffing and walk straight to the desk after customs instead of stopping at ATMs or kiosks first.
Rates sit above a street taxi and can be similar to or slightly higher than app rides like Uber or Cabify at off-peak hours, but you pay at the counter in Argentine pesos and lock in the number before stepping into the car. For a quick reference, many visitors benchmark prices from AEP to central BA against the 8–12 km distance, then decide if the premium over a standard taxi feels worth it.
Regulars who want the airport in the loop on any dispute go straight to the official remis desk instead of dealing with freelance drivers holding paper signs in arrivals. The Reddit thread that calls out AEP specifically notes that “official remis cars are located right after exiting customs,” which is the sign you look for if you don’t want to negotiate in the public hall.
Tip: Have your destination address written down with barrio (for example “Palermo, Honduras 5600”) ready at the desk so the agent can quote you fast and print a clear slip for the driver.
