Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Dabolim Airport (GOI) in Goa, India, to hotels, resorts and villas in Panaji, Margao, the South Goa beaches and Calangute, Baga and Anjuna, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Goa International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation from Dabolim takes you to Panaji and Old Goa, to Margao and the South Goa beaches at Colva, Benaulim, Agonda and Palolem, and north to the resorts and villas of Candolim, Calangute, Baga and Anjuna.
Dabolim airport transfers start outside the arrivals exit of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign once you have cleared baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for your vehicle is fixed when you book, before you fly. Choose a sedan for two or a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each Dabolim airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, resort, villa or vacation rental anywhere in North or South Goa. Heading on to Gokarna or elsewhere in Karnataka or Maharashtra? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.
Our Dabolim airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared bus or minibus that stops at other hotels along the coast. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases and strollers, and suits families and groups heading to beach resorts.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Dabolim Airport (GOI), officially Goa International Airport, is in South Goa near Vasco da Gama. The Airports Authority of India runs its passenger terminal inside INS Hansa, an Indian Navy air station, and naval flying on weekday mornings means most civilian flights arrive in the afternoon and evening. All domestic and international flights use one integrated terminal.
On an international flight you clear immigration first, with your passport, visa or e-Visa and your e-Arrival Card QR code, then collect your bags and pass through customs. Domestic passengers walk straight to baggage claim. Everyone leaves through the same arrivals exit, and because only passengers may be inside the terminal, people meeting you wait outside it.
India is on Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30) all year and uses the rupee; an ATM and currency exchange counters are in the terminal.
e-Visa and e-Arrival Card. Most visitors need an Indian visa or e-Visa, and Dabolim accepts e-Visa holders. Since 1 April 2026, foreign nationals and OCI cardholders must also file the e-Arrival Card online within 72 hours before landing and show its QR code at immigration.
Dabolim or Mopa. Goa has two airports. This page is for Dabolim (GOI) in South Goa; Manohar International Airport (GOX) at Mopa in North Goa is a separate airport, so check the code on your ticket.
Terminal entry. Only passengers with a ticket and ID may enter the terminal, so your driver waits outside the arrivals exit, and on departure you are dropped at the curb.
Afternoon peak. Naval flying on weekday mornings pushes most civilian flights into the afternoon and evening, so the arrivals hall and the roads out of Vasco can be busy at those times.
