Ushuaia's taxi drivers must be the nation's friendliest, and they're fonts of information concerning the region. The multitude of excursion options obviates the need for a car, though if you are staying at a hotel outside downtown, a car will certainly free you up for dining and exploring options.
Uber is a legal grey area but not illegal. However, cases of Uber drivers getting attacked by licensed taxi drivers have occurred. So don't be surprised if your Uber driver tells you to get in the front seat. Cabify is an alternative to licensed taxis and Uber and is also operated by an app.

Ushuaia is a compact, walkable city, though plenty of taxis are available. Several car hire outlets have offices at the airport; they don't allow you to take vehicles out of Argentina. The Tren del Fin del Mundo (End of World Train) is a fun experience, but not practical for getting from A to B.

This means that the taxi driver asks a fixed price and is mostly too high. In the city, it all depends on the demand of the moment. But in general, an Uber or Cabify are some pesos cheaper. Above all, Uber of Cabify is handier if you want to pay with your credit card and when the demand is low.
Uber can be paid with (non-Argentine) credit card, users know the approximate cost of the trip beforehand and the app provides information about the driver, such as their name and customer rating.
Planning Your Visit. Aim to spend a minimum of three days in Ushuaia: this allows you a day in the national park, a half-day cruise on the Beagle Channel and a day looking around the city's various museums. If you want to do some winter sports or explore further afield, a 6-day stay is preferable.
