How to get from MOPA Airport to Candolim?
By taxi. You can also go by bus, but it's not worth the saved money. At the arrival airport, standing in line at passport control, don’t hesitate to shout out the direction you need to go. People will respond. Not only Candolim will suit you, but also Calangute, as well as Baga. All of this is nearby.
Hello)) At the airport exit, there is prepaid taxi service. Yellow signs. Exit the airport to the left, pass these prepaid taxi booths, and a little further is the bus stop.. The best option is definitely a taxi, they take dollars, no rupees.. I don't know how to get there by bus.. I wouldn't risk it.. From Dabolim to Candolim it was 1600-1700 rupees. I haven't traveled from Mopa yet, it's about the same distance in kilometers.. Well, maybe 2000.
At the airport exit, you can arrange for a taxi, and payment is made there as well. They give you a receipt, which you need to hand over to the driver. I would recommend entering the route into Google Maps and watching where they are taking you. And immediately agree that you won’t be paying anything extra, for example, for air conditioning.
It's definitely true that you need to keep an eye on the map to see where you're going. In the airport, they just write the district where the hotel is located, not the name of the hotel))) and that's where the taxi drivers then take you around, supposedly because the client doesn't know where to go)) that's how they make money... they have no concept of conscience. Once, we were heading to a hotel in the city, I noticed on the route that we were going the wrong way, I showed him the route and only then did he actually follow it and bring us to the hotel. I wonder how it could be without a route; I think he would have taken us to several places and then asked for extra payment. And if the hotel is opposite AeroCity, then Booking doesn't show it, I don't know why, and first they took me to one with a different name, then after a call to the hotel, he took me, seemingly understanding where we needed to go, but he was unhappy, supposedly saying we need to turn around and kept asking for an extra 200. I paid 400 right away at the airport at the counter))) in general, they really took advantage of us.
@Dzen: In general, it's quite like our taxi drivers at the station, if you show them any uncertainty...
