Kochi Airport Transfer

If you are a senior foreign visitor, there are plenty of traps to get caught at the Kochi international terminal. As soon as you get out of the taxi/uber and if you hesitate, a porter will come and load your luggage onto a trolly and prompt you to follow,and at the curb a smartly dressed lady will say gently That’s Rs 1000 for the escort up to the checkin counter. Unless you quickly respond that you have wheel.chair requested through the airline, the fee will quickly go up to few thousands more for a ride to either the lounge or to the gate through security and all. Granted it is only around $12 - 50, all will be charged to your credit card in a flash. I am not sure how many locals fall for this, a visitor surely falls for it. Always remember, there are free trollis at the curb. Every airline will provide wheel chair assistance through your booking free of charges to get through immigration and customs to and from the aircraft door if you need them. You are advised to take pre-paid taxi to your destination, and uber advance bookings to the airport. Everything else, you get trapped by various operatives, just like all tourist traps. Never buy anything at the airport even duty free shopping. Buy locally and you pay at least 50% less. Good travels.

Communication great, safe driver and really friendly and happy to talk also happy to stop on way to enable me to use an atm, would recommend.

Communicative, punctual and we arrived safely as arranged. Can’t ask for more than that from a transfer. Didn’t bat an eyelid when the boat we needed to use was closed, even though this made a 20km detour. Excellent.
