taxi prices

we have heard that the taxi prices have gone up quite a bit ths year can anyone confirm this as in the past we have payed around fifteen to twenty pounds for the day

I was in Candolim in Feb this year and paid 700 rupees for a full day out visiting the northern beaches (Mandrem, Morjim etc.). Less than £10. Taxis do tend to be cheekily asking more but decent deals are still there to be had with some haggling.

In february we travelled from Calangute to Ponda in the south visiting the spice plantation and the elephant rides, the taxi for the day cost us 700 rupees.

Taxi prices were a little higher in November. At Christmas they raised slightly and were more expensive really late at night but not that much difference. £20.00 seems a little steep for a whole day and i dont expect you would pay that anyway i WOULD SAY 1100.00 rups for the day. Bargain with them.

I noticed an increase in taxi prices and I was there in last month. The time before that was Feb. 2006 and I could see an increase. However, I think you just still need to barter with the drivers.

Hi

Some taxi drivers have adopted an idear from a foreign land of doubling fares after midnight (because its what you people have to pay at home)

Many, infact the vast majority refuse to follow the fare prices per km which are government regulated and virtually double it.Rickshaws are also starting to try to charge taxi prices.Why??? because the tourist not being aware of what the true pices should be pays up and then tips on top.

800 rps for a full day is more than an adequate price to pay.

Out of season they will not get any thing like that,locals would rather walk or catch the bus than pay over the oficial prices.

Absolutely agree Bruahy. We were in Mumbai for the day last Thursday and paid 40 rps for a tuk tuk trip that would cost around 150 or more in Goa.

The tuk tuks have meters too.
