Which Cab Should You Choose for Kochi?
Kochi trips work as a long one-way drive or a 2–3 day round trip, so choose an Innova Crysta or Tempo Traveller for extra comfort on the long haul.
Sedan
Best for: 1–4 passengers, couples, light luggage, budget-focused one-way or round trips.
Ertiga
Best for: 4–6 passengers, small families, moderate luggage.
Innova Crysta
Best for: families wanting extra cabin space, senior travellers, multi-day trips, more luggage.
Tempo Traveller / Urbania (9–17 seater)
Best for: larger groups, joint families, temple groups and corporate outings.
Mini Bus (20–35 seater)
Best for: large pilgrimage or tour groups travelling together on a fixed itinerary.
One-Way & Round Trip Options
Book a one-way cab from Bangalore to Kochi when you only need the drop. One-way bookings suit flyers connecting via Kochi airport or a single-direction move.
A round-trip cab keeps the same vehicle and driver for the return journey and any sightseeing in between. Round trips are ideal for a 2–3 day Fort Kochi and backwaters holiday.
Multi-day round trips are billed on total kilometres run plus driver bata per night halt (minimum daily km applies as per the vehicle chosen) — request a specific quotation for your dates.

Interstate Permit & Tax Note
Kerala is outside Karnataka, so the cab needs an interstate tourist permit and the applicable state entry tax/green tax to cross the border legally. BLR Cabs arranges these on your behalf — the cost is added to the final bill as an actual, over and above the estimated per-km fare.
Bangalore Airport to Kochi Cab
BLR Cabs can arrange a Bangalore Airport to Kochi cab directly from Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), useful if you're arriving by flight and continuing straight onward without entering the city. Share the following at the time of booking:
- Passenger name
- Flight number
- Arrival date & time
- Terminal
- Passenger count
- Luggage count
- Exact Kochi destination
