Frequently Asked Questions

Security drivers in Buenos Aires apply counter-kidnapping protocols specific to the Argentine threat environment: inside-terminal collection at EZE (not curbside), continuous operations controller GPS and telephonic check-in tracking, route variation on the Ricchieri and General Paz Ezeiza corridors, avoidance of prolonged stops at ATM locations and known vulnerable venue departure points, and practised responses to vehicle interception scenarios. These protocols address the express kidnapping threat documented in US OSAC Buenos Aires Crime and Safety Report (2024).

Security driver day rates in Buenos Aires for a vetted, licensed driver with anti-kidnapping training typically range from USD 200 to USD 400 per day plus vehicle costs, as at June 2026. Rates are quoted in USD due to Argentine currency volatility. Single Ezeiza airport transfer engagements are available on a fixed-fee basis. Multi-day corporate engagements are structured on a retainer basis. Armoured vehicle options add approximately USD 100 to USD 200 per day to the base rate for principals requiring enhanced vehicle protection.

Yes. The Autopista Ricchieri and General Paz approach from EZE is specifically documented in US OSAC reporting (2024) as an active risk zone for arriving foreign nationals, owing to the predictability of arrival times, the identifiability of foreign travellers, and the limited route alternatives on a fixed motorway approach. City movements allow greater route variation. Security driver management of the Ezeiza arrival, including inside-terminal collection, removes the curbside exposure and introduces route variation across the Ricchieri corridor.
