Taxis in Goa

Goa has a unionized taxi system with fixed rates from point A to B. This is the best way to get around in Goa if money isn't a constraint. You don't really need to contact a tour operator, as there will always be a taxi stand outside your hotel. If not, the hotel will call one for you from the nearest stand. Fares are not negotiable (in theory) and drivers charge a fixed rate displayed on a board at every taxi stand. If you are visiting a number of places and covering a lot of ground, it makes more sense to hire a taxi for a 4- or 8-hour stretch (Rs. 1,500) and pay an additional rate for every kilometer above 80 km.

Taxis levy a surcharge when they operate at night.
