Taxi Service in Vasco da Gama

Booking a cab in Vasco da Gama

Vasco da Gama, usually just called Vasco, is the port city of Goa, on the Mormugao peninsula. Mormugao Port, shipping businesses and the naval base at Dabolim shape much of the town's working life. It is also a common stopover for visitors arriving by air or rail, as both the airport and the railway station are close by.

Airport transfers from Vasco

Dabolim Airport (GOI) is only about 3 km from Vasco, roughly 10 minutes by cab. If your flight uses Manohar International Airport at Mopa (GOX), it is a much longer trip of about 58 km, taking around 1 hour 30 minutes. Always check the code on your ticket, since a mix-up here could cost you the flight.

Vasco railway station

Vasco da Gama station is a terminus for trains on this line, so give your train number and arrival time when you book. For journeys to beach hotels in the north or south, it is usually easiest to book the whole trip in advance and share your hotel address.

What to see from Vasco

The Naval Aviation Museum near Bogmalo displays historic aircraft from the Indian Navy and is a good stop with children. Bogmalo Beach is a compact bay close to the airport, and the small Japanese Garden and Grand Island boat trips also draw visitors. Check museum and boat timings before you go.

An hourly cab can link these up in a morning. You can also continue north to Panaji or south towards Colva and Margao.

Outstation cabs

From Vasco you can reach the highway for Karnataka and Maharashtra. Compare Goa to Gokarna, Goa to Bangalore and Goa to Mumbai. If a group is landing at Dabolim together, a tempo traveller in Goa is a simple option.

Stopping over near Dabolim

Vasco is a practical choice for a short stay before an early flight from Dabolim Airport. If you are flying from Mopa instead, staying here means a long morning drive, so check your ticket before you choose your hotel.

When to book ahead

For flights and trains in the December holiday period, book as soon as your tickets are confirmed. In the monsoon, from around June to September, rain can slow the roads, so leave a little extra time even for short transfers.

How booking works

Search with your pickup, drop, date and time, then compare the vehicles and fares on screen. Pick a car, add your name, mobile number and exact pickup address, and pay the 20% advance. The rest goes to the driver. Please read our cancellation and refund policy before you confirm, and contact us if your plans change.

Tips for Vasco

Security rules at Dabolim and around the naval and port areas can restrict where a vehicle may stop. Follow the driver's advice on pickup points, and share your terminal details and flight number. Tolls, permits and parking are charged as actuals where they apply.
