Local knowledge

Why Book a Local Ooty Taxi

Driving in the Nilgiris is different from driving in the city. A local driver makes the hill roads relaxing rather than tiring.
  • Drivers who know the ghat roads

    The roads up to Ooty and on to Coonoor, Kotagiri and Mudumalai climb through tight hairpin bends. Our drivers take them every day, so you can sit back and enjoy the views.

  • Journeys planned around forest timings

    The Mysore and Bangalore route runs through the Mudumalai and Bandipur forests, which have night-time traffic restrictions. We plan your start time around them.

  • Realistic timings in mist and rain

    Mist and monsoon rain slow the hill roads. We plan pickup times with the conditions in mind, so you reach your train, flight or next stop without rushing.

  • Book early for busy dates

    Summer holidays, long weekends and festivals are Ooty's busiest days, and cabs fill up quickly. Share your dates early and we hold the right vehicle for you.
