Simple breakdown of how a CABA metered taxi fare is built.
The trip begins with the official starting fare when the meter is activated.
The meter adds one ficha for every 200 metres travelled under the active tariff.
When the taxi is stationary or moving slowly, one ficha per minute is charged instead of distance.
Additional baggage or other lawful extras may be added where the official rules allow them.

CABA taxi rules clearly include baggage treatment in the tariff decree. Buenos Aires airport taxi and remis pricing can vary by airport, provider, route and booking method. For that reason, this page does not show one universal fixed airport surcharge unless it is clearly confirmed by an official source.
| Extra / rule | Amount | When it applies | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Included baggage | Free | Hand luggage + 1 suitcase or small package | Official size reference: under 0.90 m x 0.40 m x 0.30 m |
| Additional baggage | ARS 960 | For each extra piece beyond the included allowance | Equal to 5 fichas based on the tariff values shown on this page |
| Airport taxi availability | Varies | Ezeiza and Aeroparque arrivals | Airport operator pages list taxis and remises, but route and provider pricing can vary |
| Payment via BA Taxi | Varies by method | When booking and paying through supported channels | BA Taxi is the official city app reference |
Useful customer-facing notes for Buenos Aires taxi fare pages.
Taxis and remises are available at both Ezeiza (EZE) and Aeroparque (AEP). Airport operator pages publish taxi/remis options, but these do not work like one universal fixed airport surcharge line for every route or provider.
In the city, licensed taxis run on meters in Argentine pesos. BA Taxi is the official Buenos Aires City taxi app reference and supports safer identification and booking options.
Buenos Aires City has a specific Taxi Accesible framework for passengers with mobility needs, with priority for wheelchair users in adapted vehicles.
Priority for wheelchair users Official city rules state that people who use wheelchairs for mobility have absolute priority in the use of Taxi Accesible vehicles.
In non-adapted taxis, passengers may travel only in the regular passenger seats. Transporting a person while remaining on their wheelchair is only permitted in authorised Taxi Accesible vehicles with the proper securing equipment.
