Airport Pickup & Drop

Mangalore International Airport sits at Bajpe, about 15 km out of the city, and most flights in and out of it are either very early or very late. We run this route around the clock. Send your flight number when you book and we keep an eye on it, so a delayed landing does not mean a lost driver or a higher bill.

  • Driver waits at arrivals with your name, no hunting through the car park
  • Fixed fare agreed before the trip, the same at 2 pm or 2 am
  • Boot space checked against your luggage before we send the car
  • Drops to Udupi, Manipal, Karkala and Kasaragod from the airport too

Railway Station Transfer

Our office is in Trinity Building on Attavar Road, right beside Mangalore Central. That means a car can reach the station in minutes rather than crawling across town to get to you. We also cover Mangalore Junction at Kankanady, which catches most of the long distance trains.

  • Pickups from Mangalore Central and Mangalore Junction
  • Send the train number and we track the running status
  • Help with luggage from the platform exit to the car
  • Onward drops to hotels, hospitals, Udupi and the airport

Mangalore City Taxi

A car for getting around town. Some people want a single drop to Hampankatta or a hospital in Kankanady. Others want the car parked outside for four hours while they finish a set of errands. Both work, and the rate is different for each, so tell us which one you need.

  • Point to point drops anywhere inside the city
  • Hourly packages when you have several stops to make
  • Full day city hire for hospital visits and property viewings
  • Regular monthly arrangements for offices and staff transport

Local Sightseeing

A full day around Mangalore, planned so you are not doubling back across town. The usual route takes in Mangaladevi Temple, Kadri Manjunath, Kudroli Gokarnanatha, St Aloysius Chapel with its painted ceiling, Panambur beach and Sultan Battery at the river mouth. Tell us what interests you and we will build the day around it.

  • Route planned around darshan timings, not just distance
  • Driver knows where to park at each stop, which saves real time
  • Add Pilikula, Kateel or Polali if you want a longer day
  • Half day options for cruise passengers on a short stop

  • One way drops, return day trips and multi day packages
  • Temple circuits covering Dharmasthala, Horanadu, Sringeri and Kollur
  • Kerala and Goa routes with the permits sorted in advance

Family & Group Travel

When there are more than seven of you, splitting into separate cabs stops making sense. Somebody always gets lost, and the bill works out higher. We run Tempo Travellers in three sizes and buses up to thirty seats, which covers most weddings, pilgrimage groups, college trips and company outings.

  • Tempo Traveller in 12, 17 and 20 seat layouts with pushback seats
  • 20 seater and 30 seater buses for larger groups
  • Wedding transport across multiple pickup points in one plan
  • All vehicles on valid commercial permits with tourist registration
