6 Reasons on Why I will choose Taxi Services in Kerala for Every Visit

To all those who are getting ready for a trip to Kerala, this is a note for you. I have travelled to Kerala for quite a few times with my family and also for business trips. The most important thing that I felt was it was easy to pick out the destinations in Kerala, but when it comes to the navigation on roads, it gets a bit out of hand at the difficult roads in Kerala. So, after some of the trips that I tried to take control of with my own car or by choosing public transport facilities, I found out that I should have hired a taxi beforehand itself. One of the best taxi rentals and hiring services are provided by Dreams Cabs with their office at Cochin. By providing taxi services to all the places in Kerala, services like these are becoming the major mode of transport in 2019 by providing door-to-door services. The reasons for my decision that I would be hiring a taxi for all my trips to Kerala from now are listed below in case you find out a solution to the reasons that have kept you off from visiting the Kerala roads until now.

A wide range of cars to choose from:

kerala taxi packages

Even if you have a car at your home or not, you can always rent a car or hire for a taxi service at Kerala. There are different car packages from luxury to economy where there are cars ranging from Mercedes Benz, BMW, Mini Cooper, etc to Sedan, Innova and so on. For our family trip with 12 members, we hired for a Tempo Traveller which made our trip from Cochin to Alappuzha a convenient one.

Privacy and convenience:

If you are choosing to travel on a bus with all your heavy baggage, you are sure to face troubles. The journey will tire you as you will have to hop from one bus to another or get into an auto where there are narrow roads or at places where there is no bus service. Even if you use public transport you will have to adjust with other passengers. You can rent a car if you know the road to your destination or else you can hire for a taxi service with chauffeur facilities. These services provide cars which are well-serviced and are in good condition. Cutting out a lot on your pricey expenses that will go on servicing your cars for a long journey are the benefits that you will avail on choosing this facility.

They value your time:

If there is something that is never irreplaceable when you think about taxi services, then it would be a perfect time management system according to which they are working. I have done bookings before a week when a trip with my family to Kerala was planned. We reached Cochin International Airport at 9 am and had to reach our hotel at the earliest for refreshments. So, there was our driver waiting for us at the airport even before our flights reached. He took us to the hotel which was about 36 Kilometers away in just an hour. So, for all my trips after this one with my family, I have opted for the taxi packages from Dreams Cabs and they have always taken me to my intended destination at the right time. I have never missed a meeting in Kerala after I started hiring taxis.

They know the roads the best:

So far, I have travelled to Kerala for six times and for almost all the trips that I took my own car for the trip, there popped up certain problems. The Google Maps facility on which I usually depended upon took me to a dead-end and I had to travel back to the spot from where I started with the help of some locals in the area. There were other times when there was nobody to ask for when we got stuck on roads and the internet connectivity was not working properly too. We were doomed and reached our destinations by taking the longest routes or the ones with never-ending traffic. These problems were solved with the choosing of taxis as they are a great help in this technology-driven era when we get too much dependant on the internet. The local drivers provided by taxi service operators in Kerala know how to make better use of technology and their local knowledge about roads. As a result, you will have a travel guide too.

You can calculate your travel budget before booking:

You would have availed a tour package by checking the prices and just like that you can book for a taxi prior to your landing at Kerala. The total amount that you will have to pay for your fare will depend on the base fares of the travel companies. The taxi operators will levy only a small amount per 100 Kilometers for a package taxi. By providing the details about your journey from the pick-up and drop off destinations and all the places you are intending to visit, the exact amount you will have to spend on roads can be calculated. The tensions about petrol or diesel refilling, insurance and fussing about parking space and cost can be avoided. This is not possible when you are taking your car. For travelling a bit more far from what you have paid for, the prices will be charged as per the base fare only.

No hassles of surge pricing:

There are last-minute resorts like Uber at cheaper rates, this was my belief until when I had to get a taxi at night. It was late at night and Uber had increased their charges all of a sudden and I had to get the service by paying more than the basic usual fare. Surge pricing happens when there are more people looking for Uber services and there is a lack of drivers, so the ones paying the more gets the deal. Reasons like these are what makes booking a taxi at Kerala more reliable as they won’t dodge away from standard rates causing confusion and uncertainty among the customers. There were simply no hidden costs apart from the token advance we had to pay based on the standard price and they send a proper mail with the receipt and invoice.

If you ask me how I found out about the best taxi services in Kerala, the internet has not let me down. Confirming about the services provided by taxi hiring and rental service operators has been quite easy with the reviews they got. There were testimonials which helped me to find out more about how flexible and qualified the drivers are. The prompt services provided by taxi drivers is definitely what keeps the brand name among the top list. With drivers who are professionally trained and can handle many languages from the local language Malayalam to the global language English, a taxi ride will never disappoint you. These travel decisions were made by a lot of research and I have availed all the positive benefits of a taxi hiring system.

The Perks of Hiring a Taxi for Your Road Trip

I just came back after a fabulous road trip from Fort Kochi. This road trip wasn’t my first time but it was definitely my first relaxed road trip. We are hard-core travel enthusiasts who pre-plan our trips month before we embark on one. We just don’t want to take chances when it comes to travelling. Days before the trip we clean our cars and see to it that it is in perfect condition. We usually drive to our destination. But unlike the previous times, this time we hired a cab from Dreamscabs a popular taxi service render in Kochi. And I have come to realize that hiring a cab for your trip is much better than self-drives. Come to think of it, you just sit back and relax while you give your own vehicle some rest! That’s not all there are some perks when you hire a cab.

You Can Dodge the Fuss of Car Servicing

I and my backpacker friends used to get in touch with the car service centre every time before we took our road trip. We would personally take our car to the service centre though we were asked not to take the trouble (the staff would offer to come and drive our car to the centre). This is because we wanted to give the service providers a detailed description of the route we were to take. We would ask them to take special care of our car and of course, provide some tips to keep our car in perfect condition even during the trips. We would double-check and strike off the checkboxes (which involved air pressure, tyre’s conditions, etc.) one by one after the car is brought back from servicing. It wasn’t as easy as it sounds. It demanded a good portion of our precious time. Hiring a cab not only saved us the trouble of servicing our car but also from the tedious double-checking procedures as well!

Save Your Vehicle from Wearing Away

Your car will succumb to wear and tear during the trip and you simply can’t stop that from happening. So, however, your trip might be, your vehicle may have to go through some hard times. The ‘wear and tear’ that takes place then can lead to some serious deterioration later. Your vehicle not only loses the sheen of its outer body but also its ability and you might not get a satisfactory resale value too. I know this as we have had the same experience. In fact, that is one of the main reasons why we decided to add this ‘twist’ of hiring a taxi to Kochi.  Kochi’s roads did have a lot of potholes and were in bad conditions due to the constant downpours. This was indeed one of our best decisions as we did not have to worry about our car hitting potholes, or even about an engine-breakdown. We just sat back and listened to the melodious Malayalam music while we gazed at the impeccable beauty of Kerala.

Time Complies with Your Ways

Driving seems to be simple but one needs to be super careful agile doing the same. You need to make sure that you are fresh. You can’t nod off even for a second while driving. It can lead to accidents. So, you need to have adequate sleep before you set out for a long drive. This eats up your time. You will have to adjust your work time or do various other adjustments for this. But you don’t have to worry about any of the aforesaid if you have hired a cab for the trip. In our case, we got some extra hours to enjoy our trip. We set out for the tour right after work and slept in the cab while our efficient driver drove us to our destination. This way we saved us some time. Hiring a cab makes your trip much flexible. You can decide when and where to start your trip. You have the upper hand here.

Select Your Favourite Car

Now, this is the most tempting part. We own a hatchback and love taking it for trips. Since we had hired a cab this time we were doubtful of travelling in one. But fortunately, our cab service provider sent us a long list of cars and promised to provide any of the given cars for the trip. We selected a Celerio from the wide range of options that included SUVs, Sedans and Hatchbacks. Later, I came to know that almost every cab service provides this provision to its customers. I did not know that before! This is indeed a wonderful perk that cab services offer to their customers. This way we can travel to our favourite destination in our favourite vehicle. How cool is that!

A Driver cum Guide for Your Trip

Did I say that being able to select your favourite car was the most tempting part? Well, then, I will have to make a slight change. It is one of the best parts. The service of an efficient driver is another great advantage of hiring a cab. Ours was not only an excellent driver but a fabulous guide too. He knew every nook and corner of Kochi. He knew the routes very well which is why we literally had no interruptions during our ride. And we did get a bonus point too! Our driver took us to some offbeat tourist spots on the way to our destination. He also knew of the local shops where we could get quality stuff at cheap rates. Thanks to him we bought quite a few souvenirs at unbelievable prices! This road trip was simply the best!
