Is Uber Available in Argentina?

Yes, Uber is available!

Uber operates across a broad current list of Argentine cities. Coverage, vehicle categories and payment choices vary by location, so confirm the pickup point, plate, driver and final payment method in the app.

Uber has the broadest current documented ride-app footprint in Argentina and is the easiest first choice for travelers who already have an international account.

Cabify is the best established comparison app, with current fares published for Bariloche, Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Corrientes, Mar del Plata, Mendoza, Neuquén, Rosario and Tucumán. Some recent visitors report that Cabify account activation can fail with a foreign number, so register and add a card before a late arrival. DiDi is active in Buenos Aires and many provincial capitals and can be cheaper, but price and driver availability vary. In Buenos Aires, BA Taxi dispatches licensed black-and-yellow taxis and supports cash, card and QR according to the city.

It is useful as a regulated fallback, although its store ratings, Spanish-only friction and occasional login problems make it a secondary install. Buenos Aires announced a new platform framework in May 2026, while rules still vary by jurisdiction. For every app, match the plate, driver and vehicle, share the trip, use the app's pickup point and never accept an off-app replacement. At Ezeiza, weak pickup coordination or a failed card can make an official airport taxi, remis desk or Tienda León shuttle the easier fallback.

Ignore unsolicited terminal drivers and confirm the fare or meter before leaving.

Ride Hailing Apps in Argentina

The easiest first ride app for travelers, with the broadest current documented city coverage in Argentina.

Pro tip: Keep payment in the app when possible, verify the plate and driver, and use the designated pickup point. Keep an official taxi or shuttle fallback for airports.

Cabify app icon

CabifyEssential

A strong alternative with published service in nine Argentine cities and upfront trip estimates.

Pro tip: Register before arrival because some foreign numbers have trouble receiving verification. Compare the final price with Uber and keep another option ready.

DiDi app icon

DiDi

A useful price and availability comparison in Buenos Aires and many Argentine provincial capitals.

Pro tip: Confirm the service type, plate and payment method before boarding. The cheapest quote is not always the fastest or best-rated pickup.

BA Taxi app icon

BA Taxi

Buenos Aires City's app for licensed black-and-yellow taxis, with fare estimates and driver details.

Pro tip: Use it as a licensed CABA fallback, not a national app. Its ratings are weak, so test login early and keep cash or another ride app available.

These apps need data

Guac eSIM covers Argentina with plans from $0.58 per GB. Install it before you land and activate instantly.

A data eSIM gives you internet, not a local phone number, so it cannot receive SMS verification codes.
