Estimate a Palermo to San Telmo taxi fare using the published Buenos Aires flagfall, charge per 200 metres, stopped waiting-time rate and the day or night tariff. This independent informational tool does not operate taxis, accept bookings or payments, or guarantee the final meter fare.
Palermo and San Telmo cover more than one pickup or drop-off street. The calculator uses representative neighbourhood points, so the road distance and final meter fare can change for your exact addresses.
There is no single fixed taxi price for this journey. Taxis operating within the City of Buenos Aires normally calculate the fare using:
As a simple example, a 9.4 km journey with no additional stopped waiting time would produce the following meter calculation:
| Travel period | Example calculation | Approximate meter amount |
|---|---|---|
| Day tariff | ARS 1,920 + 47 distance units | ARS 10,944 |
| Night tariff | ARS 2,300 + 47 distance units | ARS 13,110 |
| Fare component | Day tariff | Night tariff |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable hours | 6:00 a.m. to 9:59 p.m. | 10:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. |
| Starting meter fare | ARS 1,920 | ARS 2,300 |
| Every 200 metres | ARS 192 | ARS 230 |
| Each stopped waiting minute | ARS 192 | ARS 230 |
The night tariff applies to journeys beginning between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The calculator checks the selected Buenos Aires travel time and applies the relevant tariff automatically.
The calculator uses this basic meter formula:
Estimated fare = starting meter fare + distance units + stopped waiting units
First, the calculator obtains a representative road route between Palermo and San Telmo. It then divides the route distance into 200-metre fare units.
If you enter additional stopped waiting time, one fare unit is added for each stopped minute. Do not enter the complete journey duration in this field. Add only the time during which you expect the taxi to remain stationary.
The result is displayed as a range because a route estimate cannot predict every traffic light, delay or street used by the driver.
The road journey between representative points in Palermo and San Telmo is commonly around 9 to 10 kilometres. The exact distance depends on where the trip begins and ends.
Palermo covers a large part of northern Buenos Aires. A pickup near Palermo Soho, Palermo Hollywood or Las Cañitas will not produce the same route. The destination can also change depending on whether you are travelling to Plaza Dorrego, Mercado de San Telmo, Parque Lezama or another San Telmo address.
A route planner may show a journey time of around 11 minutes in favourable conditions. Actual travel time can be longer during busy periods, roadworks, events or heavy traffic. The live result from the calculator should be used as a planning guide rather than a guaranteed arrival time.
Travel time has a direct effect on the Palermo to San Telmo Taxi Fare.
The day tariff applies from 6:00 a.m. until 9:59 p.m. It begins at ARS 1,920 and adds ARS 192 for every 200 metres or stopped minute.
The night tariff applies from 10:00 p.m. until 5:59 a.m. It begins at ARS 2,300 and adds ARS 230 for every 200 metres or stopped minute.
A journey beginning shortly before 10:00 p.m. may therefore have a different meter calculation from the same journey beginning after 10:00 p.m. Select the planned departure time carefully before requesting an estimate.
The calculated result is intended to help with trip planning. The final taximeter fare may change because of:
Hand luggage and one suitcase or package within the measurements permitted by CABA rules are carried without an additional charge. Extra baggage may result in an authorised charge.
This is an inside-CABA route. The calculator does not add an airport charge, outside-CABA return surcharge, booking fee or toll to the standard estimate.
Follow these steps to calculate the route estimate:
The calculation shows how the estimated fare is divided between the starting meter amount, distance and stopped waiting time.
This page is designed specifically for travel between Palermo and San Telmo. If your pickup or destination is different, use the Buenos Aires Taxi Fare Calculator to enter complete CABA addresses and calculate another route.
Select each address from the available suggestions. A complete street address provides a more useful result than using only a neighbourhood name.
No. A standard street taxi normally uses the CABA taximeter for this route. The meter combines the starting fare, distance travelled and time when the vehicle is stopped. A separate price quoted by a booked provider may work differently.
A representative road journey is approximately 9 to 10 kilometres. The distance can be shorter or longer depending on the exact pickup and destination streets.
Route planning may show around 11 minutes in favourable traffic. The journey can take longer when central Buenos Aires roads are busy. Use the calculator’s route duration as an estimate.
Yes. The CABA night tariff applies between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. It uses a higher starting fare and a higher rate for every 200 metres or stopped minute.
You can add expected stopped minutes before calculating. The field should contain only additional stationary time, not the complete journey duration. Unplanned traffic delays may still increase the final meter amount.
The same CABA meter rates apply, but the result may not be identical. One-way streets, the selected route, traffic and exact addresses can change the distance and stopped time.
