Railway Station Taxi in Goa: Thivim, Madgaon, Karmali and Vasco
Arriving in Goa by train? Pre-book a private taxi from Thivim, Madgaon (Margao), Karmali or Vasco da Gama station and your driver will be arranged before you pull in. Send your train number, coach and destination on WhatsApp or call 088848 50171.
Which Goa Station Should You Use?
Goa has several main railway stations. The right one depends on where you are staying:
| Station (code) | Location | Usually convenient for |
|---|---|---|
| Thivim (THVM) | North Goa, near Mapusa | Candolim, Calangute, Baga, Anjuna, Morjim |
| Karmali (KRMI) | Near Old Goa | Panjim, Old Goa, Ponda |
| Madgaon / Margao (MAO) | South Goa | Colva, Benaulim, Cavelossim, Palolem |
| Vasco da Gama (VSG) | Port town near Dabolim | Vasco, Bogmalo, Dabolim area |
Madgaon is the largest station in Goa and many long-distance trains stop there; some also stop at Thivim and Karmali. Check your ticket — getting off at the station nearest your hotel can save a long drive.
How Station Pickups Work
- Send your train number, coach number, arrival date and destination.
- We confirm your vehicle, quotation and driver details on WhatsApp.
- Trains can run late — we keep in touch with you on the day.
- On arrival, call your driver; he will meet you at the station exit and help you to the car.
Avoid the uncertainty of looking for a taxi at the station after a long journey, especially with family and luggage or late at night.
Station Drops
Leaving Goa by train? We pick you up from your hotel and drop you at the station with time to spare. Tell us your train time and station — and be sure which station your train departs from, as North Goa hotels are a long way from Madgaon.
Vehicles for Station Transfers
Choose a sedan for up to 4 passengers, an Ertiga/XL6 for up to 6, an Innova Crysta for up to 7, or a Tempo Traveller for groups. Tell us the number of bags — train travellers often carry more luggage than air travellers.
Tips for Train Travellers Arriving in Goa
- Check the monsoon timetable. Trains on the Konkan Railway route run to a separate monsoon schedule for part of the year, so confirm your arrival time close to travel.
- Send your coach number. It helps the driver estimate which exit you will use on long platforms.
- Share live updates. A quick WhatsApp from the previous station lets us time the pickup precisely.
- Late-night arrivals: many long-distance trains reach Goa late at night or early in the morning. Pre-booking means a car is ready when you arrive.
- Large groups: wedding and college groups often arrive by train together. A Tempo Traveller collects everyone in one trip.
Choosing the Right Vehicle for Train Arrivals
Train travellers often carry full-size suitcases, food boxes and gifts for family. As a guide, a sedan suits two or three passengers with large bags, an Ertiga/XL6 suits a family of four or five, and an Innova Crysta gives the most room for up to seven. Tell us the bag count with your train details and we will match the vehicle.
From the Station to Your Holiday
Many guests combine their station pickup with their first outing — for example, dropping bags at a Candolim hotel and heading straight to the beach, or stopping at Old Goa on the way from Karmali. Ask when you book and we will plan the route. For the return journey, see our one-way drop options.
How to Book a Railway Station Taxi

- Add date, time, passengers and luggage — plus flight or train number for transfers.
- Receive a vehicle recommendation and written quotation on call or WhatsApp. Check what is included (tolls, parking, waiting time) before confirming.
- Confirm — we share the driver's name and number before your trip.
