Taxis in Goa

I am travelling to India in two weeks. Are there any taxis going from Goa to Belgaum and how much will it cost me

yeah, you'll be able to get a car to anywhere you want - I know a guy who got a car to take him from the hills to mumbai - cost him at least £300 but he had numerous offers.

no idea how much this ride would be, but put a tender out and see what offers you get...

Goa to Belgaun or Belgaun to Goa you will get number of taxis...Even the bus service is good..Its a nice route via Londa and the Anamod Ghats..

Hi Dabs..I used to travel on this route nearlly 7-8 years back..So no idea regarding the travel cost..It would take nearlly 4 hrs...
Belgaum to Londa is 50 or 60 kms...1 hr 30 mins
Londa to Panjim 2 hrs 30min ..
or Goa to Belgaum 4 hrs..

Gives some idea of the travel time

I'd say that a four hour taxi ride would cost somewhere in the region of 4-5000 INR, depending on how many travellers, luggage, and the vehicle. though like I said, put the tender out for a few days and see what comes back...

might be an idea not to use an official 'tourist vehicle'/taxi, but the friend of a friend, who would more than likely be a alot cheaper, and may well have a much nicer vehicle...

Hi RajaKonar,

Thanks for your help. How do I find a friend of a friend in Goa. I am in England and have been away from |India for 35 years. Any suggestion is welcome.

whilst you're in goa, you may find yourself frequenting the same bar/shop/restaurant. as you get friendly with the barman/owner/waiter, let them know that you're after a car.

alternatively, use the same taxi driver for rides around goa - he'll probably give you his phone number. this way local trips become cheaper, you can mostly book them for any time you want, and then they are less likely to over-quote you for your trip.

i's still put the tender out to a few different drivers though, and see what you're quoted...

good luck!
