Mendoza Airport Transfer (MDZ) — Fixed Price

Mendoza El Plumerillo Airport is 8 kilometres north of Mendoza city centre — a 15–25 minute drive. Mendoza is Argentina's wine capital and the gateway to the Andes, with wine routes through the Luján de Cuyo and Maipú valleys and the road to Aconcagua base camp and ski resort Las Leñas. Remis (registered private hire taxis) and metered taxis operate from the airport rank. Uber has a limited but growing presence in Mendoza. With LocalsRide, the USD price is confirmed at booking and a driver meets you at the arrivals exit — useful for wine tourists heading directly to a bodega hotel in Luján de Cuyo or Chacras de Coria rather than the city centre.
