A Spectacular Solo Trip to Beautiful Kerala

I have always been fascinated by the amazing beauty of Kerala. It’s not only me I think but the rest of the Indians, as well as foreigners, are lured by the scenic delight of the state. Being born and brought up in Bangalore, more popularly known as the ‘Silicon Valley of India’, I have always been attracted by the calm ambiance of the Malayalam state. The pristine lakes, royal houseboats, exotic species of flora and fauna, hills and valleys covered with green meadows, tropical climate, etc captivate tourists to ‘God’s own country’. One could enjoy the harmonious chirps of birds and wild thunders of animals from thickly populated forest areas.

As I used to spend my summer holidays in Kerala every year, I have experienced the terrible and burning hot. However, I never experienced the cold monsoon days. After long years my dream was fulfilled I got the opportunity to be part of a lovely monsoon and play like a small child in rain. It happened so; I was working in a reputed MNC as a team leads. And one my relative invited for her sons’ baptism (naming ceremony) in Kochi, Kerala. It was in the month of August and it was peak time in my office but somehow I got the leave for 2 days. Every time I used to visit the state with my family but this time my parents and other family members didn’t get leave so they asked me to go alone and attend the function. I boarded a flight from Kempegowda International Airport, Bangalore to Cochin International Airport, Kerala. As planned, my cousin promised me to pick me from the airport but due to some issues he couldn’t make it So, I was forced to depend on taxis in Cochin. To be very frank at first I was reluctant to seek their services because I had read many terrifying incidents in the newspapers. As there was no other option, I decided to go with them. I searched for many cab services on the internet and chose Dreams Cabs as they assured good facilities. To my surprise within 10 minutes after booking, the car arrived. The cab was beyond my expectations. I was astonished by seeing its interior, it was very clean and neat, the seat cover and cushions were well maintained. The AC vents were cleaned and there was good air circulation inside the cab. It is always important to maintain the vibes when we go somewhere especially if it is a long drive. And if the car smells bad and doesn’t have an odor absorber, it will make travelers tiresome. The cab which I hired had the best air freshener and made me energetic in the entire journey. The carpets and interior designs gave the cab a classy look. How could I wind up the beauty of the cab without mentioning the chauffeur? The driver was really a very good person. He shared much information related to the present conditions of roads, political issues, etc. I really had a comfy drive with him. Not like other drivers, he never overtook any vehicles nor drove at high speed. To spice up the journey the driver didn’t forget to play the stereo and he asked my taste in music and played songs accordingly. Traveling in the car I was able to enjoy the beauty of nature drenched in heavy downpours. I asked the driver to reduce the volume of the stereo so that I could listen to the rain patters. Suddenly I got a call from my office to complete an assignment and it was urgent. I asked the driver to halt the cab for a few hours so that I could complete the assigned work in any of the internet cafes. But again to my surprise, he told me that the cab had an excellent WI-FI facility and I was really thrilled. Because I was not willing to wet my favorite dress and it was raining like cats and dogs outside. Before I reached my cousin’s house I was able to finish my work before the deadline. The cab also had a few good books by famous authors. As reading is my passion I grabbed the books the moment I saw it. Thanks to the driver I was able to reach the ceremony spot nearly 2 hours early. I thanked him personally. My cousins and whole family remained amazed by how I could reach before time whereas they found it difficult to reach the spot on time. I described my whole journey to them.

By 10 pm, my grandfather suddenly falls sick and there was no one in the house who knew driving so that we could take him to the hospital. Again I called Dream cabs. We were in doubt whether they will be working overnight. As I wished, the same driver with the cab reached my cousin’s house. We reached the hospital at the time and were able to save grandpa’s life. For the next day, I booked the cab to the airport and on the way, I wanted to purchase a few things for dear friends and family. The cab took me to the best and cheapest place where I could buy things of good quality and in good quantity. Despite the roads being in worse conditions, the cab driver was very careful and drove the cab slowly as I had informed him that I got a sprain on my back during the ceremony. After the shopping, I reached the airport on time and boarded a flight to Bangalore from Kochi. I was really pleased with the taxi packages of Kerala and decided to recommend to my friends and relatives who are planning to visit the state. I also gave good ratings to their site with outstanding feedback.

Dream cabs also provide the facility to do online bookings for long journeys. They assign drivers who are very fluent in English, Hindi as well as in Malayalam. The drivers are very well efficient and have good knowledge of all the short cuts so that travellers could reach on time. The cab fares are very affordable and they are ready to customize their rates according to customer’s needs. The company also provides options to select the best cars from the given list. Unfortunately, if the vehicle meets any accident the company will take all the responsibility of both the cab and passengers. Above all, it is one of the best cab service companies in Kerala which is safe for women who are planning for a solo trip. To have a lovely Kerala trip, it is always recommended to hire private cabs than wait for public transports for long hours.

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:

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.
