    Tripping Car Alquiler de Autos experiences?

    Hey all, Have any of you had experience with this car rental company? https://maps.app.goo.gl/QQckWyU5g1AgaADYA They have very good reviews on Google maps, but I listen to the opinions here more than those. Any other recommendations would also be appreciated otherwise. Thanks for your help!

    AFIP will control your expenses in May: from what amounts should your bank report

    I always wonder what crosses a lawmakers mind when they put all their effort into these rules and then walk past three cuevas/cambios on their way home.

    Lactaid or something like it?

    The red La Serenisima is the closest I've found to tasting drinkable milk here. But note that this would be for with cereal, for example. I wouldn't ever drink a glass of it.

    Old Dollars

    Hi guys, An elderly family friend has old dollars from 1993, and they've run into some issues trying to convert them to pesos at the blue rate due to the age of them. I think a bank would let them deposit them since they're dollars after all, but they were hoping to get a better rate and stay...

    Today's translator app of choice ?

    I just tried the Pi app and found the pronunciation underwhelming. Eg. it pronounced "llama" with an L sound instead of a "sh" sound, and pronounced "me" in the English way rather than as the correct "may". I would not recommend using this app to learn pronunciation, but it may be helpful for...

    Learning Spanish

    I have found Dreaming Spanish (a website) very good, and affordable. You can filter for what variant of Spanish you want to watch videos in, and they have quite a few from an Argentinian. I also listen to the Mexican and Columbian videos. Edit: it's based on a method called Comprehensive Input...

    Seat Belts

    Hi guys, Can anyone help me to understand the lack of seat belts here, both in private vehicles and many taxis? Is there a cultural reason for this, or regulatory loophole maybe? Haven't been able to get comfortable with it yet and would love to understand why its like this.

    Rental Law Will be Repealed Tomorrow, by Decree

    Can the rental contracts be in any currency now? If so, they will likely (almost all) be in dollars for the most part?

    Should I bring EUR or USD?

    Agreed on all the above, but I will say that if you want to just make a decision and move on with the rest of your planning, then convert EUR to USD in Europe and come here purely with USD.

    Should I bring EUR or USD?

    USD is the gold standard in Argentina. Big preference for "crisp" 100 USD notes which have no damage and have never been folded etc. Keep them as pristine as you can.

    Blue Dollar with AirBnb Host

    I think you would need to find a way to contact the Airbnb host and get them agree to rent it to you outside of the platform for cash? This would obviously mean you don't have the (limited) protection that Airbnb offers guests of course
