Overview
- The latest tallies put a one-way car trip from CABA to Mar del Plata near ARS 100,000, with a round trip around ARS 200,000.
- Tolls total roughly ARS 18,000 with TelePASE and exceed ARS 22,000 without it or when adding AUSA urban highways, with Samborombón and Maipú at ARS 6,500 each and Dock Sud plus Hudson at ARS 5,000 combined.
- UADE estimates average fuel outlay at about ARS 58,149 for CABA–Coast travel based on Dec. 14 prices, noting this precedes YPF’s subsequent 2% cut.
- Fuel is costlier outside the capital, averaging about 4.2% higher at coastal towns and 8.9% higher along the route, with Necochea an outlier below CABA prices.
- Experts advise starting with a full tank in CABA, avoiding refueling on the highway, and using TelePASE to save over ARS 4,000 per trip, while buses from ~ARS 48,000 and trains from ~ARS 38,000 offer cheaper alternatives.
