Taxi Service in Kollam – Local Drivers, 24x7 Availability
Kollam — historically known as Quilon — is one of the oldest port cities on the Malabar Coast and today serves as the southern gateway to Kerala's backwater network. The city sits on the shores of Ashtamudi Lake, one of the largest and most beautiful backwater lakes in Kerala, and is the starting point of the legendary 8-hour Kollam to Alleppey backwater cruise.
For tourists, Kollam offers a more authentic and less commercialised backwater experience compared to Alleppey. The Munroe Island canoe rides through narrow canals lined with coconut palms and Chinese fishing nets are a highlight that most visitors describe as the real Kerala. Our drivers know every jetty, boat operator and hidden backwater spot in the Kollam area.
Kollam is strategically located on NH 66 between Trivandrum (1.5 hrs) and Alleppey (2.5 hrs), making it a natural stopover on the southern Kerala tourist circuit. Many travellers heading from Trivandrum Airport to the backwaters stop in Kollam for a canoe ride before continuing to Alleppey for a houseboat stay.
The city also has a growing industrial and commercial base, with the Kollam port, cashew processing industry and several IT parks driving business travel demand. Kollam Beach, Thangassery Lighthouse, Palaruvi Waterfalls (90 km away) and the Thevally Palace are popular local attractions.
From Kollam, popular outstation routes include Trivandrum (1.5 hrs), Alleppey (2.5 hrs), Kochi (3.5 hrs), Thekkady (4.5 hrs) and Varkala (45 min). We also serve travellers heading to Kanyakumari (3 hrs) and other destinations in southern Tamil Nadu.
Our Kollam fleet covers the entire district — from the city centre and Ashtamudi lakefront to the railway station, bus stand and surrounding towns like Karunagappally, Punalur and Paravur. Every vehicle is AC, GPS-tracked and sanitized. Booking takes seconds via WhatsApp — no app, no surge, no hidden charges.
