The cost of a taxi in Goa

It is not necessary to guess how much a taxi in Goa - read the current tariffs:

per unit of luggage will have to pay 10 rupees, but the expectation is usually bypassed completely free;
night rate (his action starts at 23:00 and ends at 05:00) above 35% on the day.

To check prices on the "prepaid" taxi at the airport (go to the front "Prepaid Taxi", to call a taxi and pay the fare immediately, at the bar) and at bus Goa - there on the yellow boards, information posted to tariffs (including you'll learn about the cost of the trip, calculated to a certain point).

Often, private taxi drivers cheat tourists, posing as officials - they have a shuttle service at exorbitant rates (25-30 rupees / 1km). Distinguish whether the official before you Cabby (prepaid taxi) can be the method of payment - in this case, you pay the fare through the cashier, and the driver upon arrival will receive a check.

If you use the services of public taxi, for example, from Dabolim Airport to Dona Paula beach you pay 670 rupees if you sit in a car without air conditioning, and 779 rupees if you sit in air-conditioned cars, and from Dabolim to Cavelossim - 800-920 rupees (price depends on whether there is air conditioning in the car or not).

In any case, the fare should be clarified in advance and do not pay for travel before the end of the trip. Important: local taxi can only pay in cash and it is desirable to have small bills, as to give a deposit may be difficult.

Taxis in India

Calling a taxi in India a lot. The simplest of them - by phone from the hotel. You can also catch the car on the street, ordered in one of the points of payment, take the car parked near crowded areas. Outside the city to find a taxi can be difficult.

The solution is to use one of the hotel's taxi firm: +91 22 2685 2829 (Prepaid Taxi), +91 22 2822 7006 (Group Mobile Cool Cab).

Along with the traditional passenger taxi services are offered and jeeps are ideal for transportation of a large company. Machine state taxi service - Ambassador of white or black and green, marked the inscription "Taxi". Private traders use jeeps or small cars «Tata» without plates.
Fare

Travel by car taxi will cost, on average, 8-12 rupees per kilometer. A trip by jeep will cost 1.5-2 times more expensive. A transfer from the airport to the city, as a rule, is fixed at 150 rupees to 200 rupees and Delhi to Calcutta.

Taxi drivers in big cities and in popular tourist spots may charge up directions several times. The increased rate of waiting passengers at night - in 2-3 times more expensive than in the afternoon.

The maximum safe and profitable will be a trip by taxi equipped with meter. The interior of the car to hang the table on which you can calculate the exact fare. Fixed price appointed and prepayments on items, using which the driver will only have to present the check. Private traders can not always boast of the counter, but its presence does not mean that the taxi driver to turn it on. If, however, there is a need to go with the driver, it is better to negotiate the price in advance and do not neglect trading. As a result of such a dialogue is possible to reduce the initial rate by 50%.
Interesting fact

In some parts of India, are regularly held so-called "days of the taxi driver." On this day, the municipal taxi drivers concede the right to transport passengers to private taxi drivers. The rule does not apply to buses plying from the hotel to the airport.
