Sedan cab available for daily hire in Mangalore 01

Everyday Travel

Cab Services in Mangalore

Our core service: a clean, air-conditioned cab with a driver, for as long as you need it. Book point-to-point within the city, take an hourly package for a morning of errands, or keep the cab for a full eight-hour day. The meter is never a surprise — you agree the fare before the car moves.

  • Point-to-point, hourly and full-day packages
  • Sedan, Ertiga or Innova depending on group size
  • Available 24 hours including early-morning starts

Airport Transfers

Airport Taxi to Mangalore International Airport

Bajpe is a half-hour from the city on a good day and considerably longer in monsoon traffic, so we build the buffer in for you. Share your flight number when booking and we track the actual arrival time — if the flight is delayed by three hours, the driver is still there, at no extra charge.

  • 24×7 pickups and drops at Mangalore Airport (IXE)
  • Flight tracking with free waiting on delayed arrivals
  • Meet-and-greet at arrivals with a name board on request
  • Transfers to Kannur and Calicut airports also arranged
Wedding car decorated with flowers in Mangalore 03

Weddings & Events

Wedding Cars & Guest Fleet

A wedding is a logistics exercise as much as a celebration. We decorate the bridal car to match your colour scheme and put a coordinated fleet behind it — sedans for close family, an Ertiga or Innova for elders, and a mini bus or 33-seater for guests moving between the ceremony and the reception hall.

  • Floral decoration in your chosen colour scheme
  • Matched guest fleet — sedans, SUVs, mini bus, 33-seater
  • Single point of contact coordinating every vehicle
  • Airport and railway pickups for out-of-town guests

Sedan Cabs — Including Sunroof Top Models

Our sedan fleet is built around Dzire, Etios and Amaze class cars: four seats, two suitcases, easy on fuel and easy through the narrow lanes around Car Street and Hampankatta. We also keep all top-model Dzire vehicles fitted with a sunroof — the one to ask for when you want the ghat scenery overhead or a smarter car for a client pickup.

  • 4 seater with room for 2 large bags
  • All top-model sunroof Dzire available on request
  • The economical choice for city runs and airport drops
  • Also available for outstation one-way and round trips
Ertiga cab for family travel in Mangalore 05

Most Booked

Ertiga Cabs for Family Travel

The Ertiga sits exactly where most families need it — six passengers plus the driver, genuine boot space behind the third row, and running costs close to a sedan. It is our single most requested vehicle for Dharmasthala day trips, Udupi temple runs and airport pickups where the whole family comes along.

  • 6+1 seater with usable third-row space
  • Room for around 3 large bags with all seats in use
  • Comfortable on both city roads and highway stretches
Innova Crysta cab for outstation trips from Mangalore 06

Most Booked

Innova & Innova Crysta Cabs

When the road turns uphill, the Innova is what our drivers ask for. Seven adults with luggage, high ground clearance for ghat sections and a ride that stays composed on the hairpins to Madikeri and Chikmagalur. The Crysta adds captain seats, extra legroom and a quieter cabin — worth booking for anything over four hours.

  • 7 seater with space for around 4 large bags
  • Built for Western Ghat routes and long highway runs
  • Crysta option with captain seats and extra legroom
  • Popular for Coorg, Chikmagalur, Wayanad and Bengaluru

Group Travel

Tempo Traveller Hire — 12, 17 & 20 Seater

The tempo traveller is the backbone of group travel on this coast. Push-back seats, an aisle you can actually walk down, overhead racks for bags and strong air conditioning for the long climb inland. We run 12, 17 and 20 seater variants, so a group of fourteen does not end up paying for a twenty-seat coach.

  • 12, 17 and 20 seater options
  • Push-back seats, overhead luggage racks, music system
  • Driver stays with the group for the whole trip
  • Ideal for pilgrimages, school trips and office outings
33-seater bus for large group travel from Mangalore 08

Group Travel

Mini Bus & 33-Seater Bus Hire

For anything above twenty passengers we move to a mini bus (22 to 25 seats) or our 33-seater bus. These are the vehicles that move wedding parties, temple yatra groups, college excursions and factory shifts. Larger coaches beyond 33 seats can be arranged on request when we have enough notice.

  • Mini bus: 22 to 25 seats with a large boot
  • Bus: 33 seats with recliners and a music system
  • Bigger coaches arranged on request with advance notice
  • Multiple vehicles coordinated as one convoy

Pilgrimage

Temple Tour Taxi from Mangalore

Temple trips live or die on timing, and our drivers plan around darshan hours rather than the map. A single day covers Dharmasthala and Kukke; three days stretches to Kollur Mookambika, Horanadu and Sringeri. We start before dawn when that is what the queue demands, and we wait as long as the darshan takes.

  • Dharmasthala, Kukke Subramanya, Udupi Krishna Temple
  • Kollur Mookambika, Horanadu and Sringeri circuits
  • Single-day and multi-day itineraries around darshan timings
  • Sedan to 33-seater bus, depending on the group

Outstation

Coorg Taxi — One-Way Drops & Packages

Madikeri is about 135 km through the Sampaje ghat, and how enjoyable that drive is depends entirely on who is driving. Book a straight one-way drop, a same-day return, or a two to three day package where the vehicle and driver stay with you for Abbey Falls, Raja's Seat, Dubare and the coffee estates.

  • One-way drop, day trip or multi-day package
  • Flexible stops at viewpoints and waterfalls
  • Innova and Crysta recommended for the ghat section

Outstation

Bekal Taxi — Fort, Beaches & Backwaters

Bekal Fort is only about 65 km down the coast, which makes it the easiest day trip out of Mangaluru. We run it as a relaxed loop — the fort at Pallikere, the beach at Kappil, the backwaters at Nileshwar and a seafood lunch somewhere along the way, with stops added wherever you want them.

  • Bekal Fort, Kappil beach and Nileshwar backwaters
  • Comfortable as a day trip in a sedan, Ertiga or Innova
  • Extendable to Kasaragod, Kanhangad and Ranipuram

Group Vehicles

Tempo Travellers, Mini Buses & 33-Seater Buses

From twelve passengers to thirty-three, with a driver who stays with your group for the whole trip.

Good to Know

Service & Booking FAQs

What is the seating capacity of your tempo travellers?

We operate 12, 17 and 20 seater tempo travellers. All of them have push-back seats, air conditioning and overhead luggage racks, and the 20-seater is the usual pick when a group also has heavy baggage.

Can I book an Innova Crysta for a Coorg trip from Mangalore?

Yes. The Innova Crysta is one of our most requested vehicles for Coorg. It is available as a one-way drop to Madikeri, as a day trip, or as a two or three day package with the driver staying with you throughout.

Do you offer decorated wedding cars in Mangalore?

Yes. We arrange floral decoration on the bridal car in your chosen colour scheme, and can supply a matched fleet of sedans, Ertiga, Innova or a mini bus to move guests between the ceremony and reception venues.

Which sedan models do you provide, and do any have a sunroof?

Our sedan fleet is built around Dzire, Etios and Amaze class cars. We also keep all top-model Dzire vehicles fitted with a sunroof, which are popular for wedding pickups, corporate guests and scenic ghat routes.

How far in advance should I book a mini bus or 33-seater bus?

For weddings and festival dates we recommend booking two to three weeks ahead, since large vehicles are in heavy demand. On ordinary dates a mini bus or 33-seater bus can usually be arranged with a day or two of notice.

Do you cover temple tours like Dharmasthala and Kukke Subramanya?

Yes. Our temple tour taxi service covers Dharmasthala, Kukke Subramanya, Udupi Krishna Temple, Kollur Mookambika, Horanadu and Sringeri, either as single-day trips or as a combined multi-day circuit planned around darshan timings.
