Transfer between airports (EZE-AEP)

Changing airports in Buenos Aires can eat up a morning. Polo Elite’s private transfer gives you a driver at arrivals, a clean air-conditioned car, and a direct ride between EZE and AEP without the usual taxi hunt. I especially like the included one-hour waiting period and the driver’s willingness to help with luggage. The main catch is traffic: the advertised 45 minutes can stretch beyond an hour at rush time.

The service costs $85 per group of up to two people, not per passenger. That makes it a sensible choice for couples or anyone carrying bags between airports. I also like the WhatsApp communication and the personal touch from drivers such as Nani, Frank, and Fernando. Still, the strict non-refundable policy means you should book only when your flight plans are firm.

Key points before you book

• Airport pickup at arrivals: Your driver meets you inside or near the arrivals area with clear instructions and, in one case, a sign showing the passenger’s name.
• One hour of waiting time: The price includes up to 60 minutes of waiting, useful if immigration, baggage claim, or a delayed flight slows you down.
• Private ride for up to two people: You do not share the vehicle with another group, and the $85 rate covers the group rather than each passenger.
• Traffic controls the schedule: The normal ride takes about 45 minutes, but rush-hour traffic can push it past an hour.
• Clean, comfortable vehicles: Cars range from plain sedans to larger vehicles suitable for groups, with air conditioning and private transport.
• Helpful local drivers: Nani, Frank, and Fernando are praised for punctuality, safe driving, city advice, and help with bags.

Why this airport transfer matters in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires uses two major airports for different kinds of flights. Ezeiza International Airport, usually called EZE, handles many international departures and arrivals. Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, known as AEP, serves many domestic and regional flights from a location closer to central Buenos Aires.

That arrangement can create an awkward airport change. You may land at one airport and need to reach the other for your next flight, with luggage in tow and no time to spare. A private car removes one chore from the process: finding a taxi, explaining the destination, checking the fare, and hoping the driver understands which terminal you need.

I see the real value here in simplicity under pressure. This is not a sightseeing tour with planned stops. It is a point-to-point ride designed to get you and your bags from one airport to another.

The normal journey takes about 45 minutes. That estimate is useful, but you should treat it as a best-case figure. Buenos Aires traffic can be heavy during rush hour, and one passenger reported a trip of a little more than an hour while crossing the city. Build in extra time if you have a flight to catch.

Meeting your driver at arrivals

The pickup arrangement is straightforward. The driver meets you at arrivals, and the service includes one hour of waiting time. That hour begins to matter if your flight lands late, passport control moves slowly, or your checked bag takes its own leisurely tour of the airport.

A driver named Nani contacted one passenger through WhatsApp soon after the reservation. That proved useful for confirming the driver’s name and location, especially after landing. International phone service can be unpredictable, so having a familiar messaging app available may make the handoff easier.

Another passenger found Nani waiting outside the airport at the agreed time with a sign. That is the sort of small detail that saves effort after a long flight. You should still read the final pickup instructions carefully, since airports can have several arrivals exits and vehicle meeting areas.

The included wait time is generous compared with a rushed curbside pickup. It does not mean the car will wait without limit, though. After 60 minutes, an extra charge applies. If your flight is delayed by two hours, contact the company as soon as you can and keep your phone available.

The ride from EZE to AEP

Once you meet the driver, the transfer is direct private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle. Parking fees are included, so you are not left sorting out a surprise airport parking charge at the end.

The route connects Ezeiza with Aeroparque through Buenos Aires. The exact road and travel time depend on traffic, but the important point is that the driver handles the city driving while you focus on your onward flight.

The car is not always the Mercedes shown in promotional images. One solo passenger received a basic sedan instead. It was described as clean and comfortable, and it was a good fit for one person with luggage. That is a useful expectation to set: you are paying for a practical airport transfer, not a guaranteed luxury vehicle.

For two people, the $85 group price can work well. Split between two passengers, it comes to $42.50 each. The calculation changes if you are alone, but convenience may still matter more than finding the absolute cheapest ride after landing.

The vehicle size can vary. One driver arrived with a clean car that comfortably held six people, while another passenger had a plain sedan. If you have a larger party, a child, bulky luggage, or special equipment, confirm the vehicle before you travel.

Traffic, timing, and your connecting flight

The most important planning issue is not the car. It is the clock.

The stated duration is 45 minutes to one hour, but rush-hour traffic can make the trip longer. One passenger crossed the city in just over an hour during a busy period. That is not a failure of the service, but it shows why you should avoid scheduling a tight connection between airports.

I would allow extra time for four separate steps:

• Getting off your first flight
• Passport control and baggage collection
• Finding the driver at arrivals
• Driving across Buenos Aires and checking in for the next flight

The driver cannot control delays in the air, at immigration, or on the road. The one-hour waiting period gives you some protection from a late arrival, but it is not a guarantee that you will reach the second airport on time.

If your flight is delayed, use WhatsApp or the company’s provided contact method. Nani’s communication was especially helpful for one passenger who needed to coordinate after landing. Clear contact can make a difficult airport change much less stressful.

The drivers and the personal service

The strongest part of this transfer is the human service. Nani receives repeated praise for being kind, flexible, and attentive. He helped one passenger with luggage during a rushed airport connection and gave useful suggestions for restaurants and things to do in Buenos Aires.

Frank handled a busy drive through the city and delivered a passenger to the correct international terminal at EZE. That last detail matters. Ezeiza is a large airport, and being dropped at the right terminal saves you from starting your departure with an unnecessary walk or search.

Fernando is described as punctual, professional, and friendly, with good English and a strong knowledge of Buenos Aires and Argentina. He also works with polo-related trips and can handle both personal rides and larger groups. One passenger even received an invitation to join him for a beer after the workday, which suggests a warm local connection, though that is clearly an extra personal gesture rather than part of the transfer.

You should not book this service expecting a tour guide during the airport ride. Still, the drivers may offer useful local suggestions if you ask. One passenger used Nani for extra stops during a wider visit, but those requests should be discussed in advance rather than assumed to be included in this airport service.

Vehicle comfort and luggage

The included vehicle is air-conditioned, an important feature during a long airport crossing. Private transport also means you do not need to share space with strangers or make repeated stops to collect other passengers.

The cars used by the company have varied. Some passengers describe clean and comfortable vehicles, including a sedan for one person and a larger car for six. The service does not promise a specific make or model.

If you are traveling as a couple with ordinary suitcases, the listed arrangement should be simple. If you have several large bags, sports gear, a stroller, or a bigger family group, tell the company before booking. Child seats are available for an additional charge, so request one ahead of time rather than hoping it will appear with the car.

Service animals are allowed. Most people can take part in the ride, and the service operates near public transportation, though the main benefit is that you are collected directly at arrivals.

What the $85 price really buys you

At $85 per group of up to two, this is not the cheapest possible way to cross Buenos Aires. You are paying for a prearranged private car, airport pickup, parking fees, air conditioning, and up to one hour of waiting.

That package has real value when you arrive tired, have checked luggage, or need to reach a second airport on a fixed schedule. It also reduces the risk of standing outside an unfamiliar airport trying to negotiate transport.

For two people, the price is easier to justify because the fare is shared. For one person, you need to decide how much you value a driver waiting for you and taking you straight to the terminal. If your connection is tight or your Spanish is limited, the added certainty may be worth more than a lower street fare.

The service has earned a five-star rating from six submitted ratings, and the praise centers on punctuality, kindness, clean cars, safe driving, and flexible help. I would not treat that as a promise that every ride will use a luxury vehicle or avoid traffic. I would treat it as a strong sign that the company’s personal service is its main strength.

Booking details and important limits

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. If you need a transfer tied to a flight soon after booking, allow time for that confirmation and keep your flight details handy.

The experience is private, so only your group participates. The price covers up to two people, while larger vehicle capacity may be possible based on the car assigned. Ask about the group size, luggage, and child-seat needs before finalizing the reservation.

The cancellation rule is strict. The experience is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. If you cancel or request an amendment, the money paid is not returned. I would wait until your flight schedule is settled before booking, especially if your airline has a record of frequent changes.

Who should book this transfer?

I think this is best for a couple changing airports, a solo passenger with luggage, or anyone who wants a known driver waiting at arrivals. It also suits passengers who value direct help more than finding the lowest possible fare.

Families can use it, but confirm the vehicle size and arrange child seats for the extra fee. Larger groups should also check the available vehicle before paying. The company has handled cars for up to six people in at least one case, but the listed price is specifically for a group of up to two.

This is less suitable if your schedule is highly uncertain or you may need to cancel. The non-refundable policy leaves little room for changes. It is also a poor fit for a very tight airport connection, since traffic between EZE and AEP can exceed the one-hour estimate.

Should you book Polo Elite?

I would book this transfer if you want a prearranged airport handoff and can accept the fixed cancellation terms. The best reasons are the one-hour waiting period, direct private transport, WhatsApp contact, clean vehicles, and drivers who appear willing to help beyond the bare minimum.

I would not book it solely because of the vehicle shown in an advertisement. The actual car may be a plain sedan rather than a Mercedes, though the available cars are described as clean and comfortable. I would also leave a generous buffer for traffic and confirm any child seat, large luggage, or group-size request in advance.

For a firm itinerary between Buenos Aires airports, the $85 group fare offers useful peace of mind. Just remember that the car can manage the road, not the clock. Give yourself room, keep your phone on after landing, and treat the driver’s local advice as a welcome bonus rather than part of the formal transfer.
