Taxi in Visakhapatnam
GetTransfer in Visakhapatnam operates across the coastal city, offering tourists and locals a way to secure rides without last-minute stress. The platform connects passengers with licensed drivers and vetted cars, so travelers can select a vehicle type and know the fare before departure.

Getting around Visakhapatnam
Visitors can move around Visakhapatnam using several transport modes, yet each has drawbacks compared with booking through GetTransfer.com.
Public Transport in Visakhapatnam
Local buses and suburban trains cover many routes, with a standard fare often ranging from INR 10 to INR 50 depending on distance; a typical 15–20 km trip costs about INR 25 and takes 40–60 minutes. Public transport is cheap but runs on fixed schedules and can be crowded during peak hours, which makes carrying luggage or following tight itineraries difficult. For a tourist balancing time and comfort, a pre-booked car offers predictability that buses and trains rarely provide.
Car Rentals in Visakhapatnam
Self-drive rentals and agency hires let you explore at your own pace; daily rates commonly start at around INR 1,200 for an economy hatch and climb for larger cars, plus fuel and insurance. Renting gives freedom but adds responsibilities: navigation, parking, and local driving rules can be stressful for visitors. Compared to a chauffeured transfer, renting is usually more expensive once you factor in fuel and extra fees, and it removes the convenience of a local driver who knows the best routes.
Taxi in Visakhapatnam
Metered city taxis and app-based cabs operate throughout Visakhapatnam, with short trips inside the city costing roughly INR 80–200 depending on distance and time of day. GetTransfer essentially provides taxi services in Visakhapatnam, yet it improves on traditional options by letting you book in advance, choose vehicle class and driver, and lock in an exact price to avoid surge pricing. The platform lists private cars, seater options, and even limousine services, with transparent fares that include driver fees and any waiting time you select. Drivers on GetTransfer display licenses and company affiliations on their profiles, so you can compare offers and pick a driver whose reviews and experience suit your needs. For airport pickups and coordinated itineraries, GetTransfer combines the convenience of a regular cab with pre-booking and verified service perks.
Transfers from Visakhapatnam
Traditional taxis might hesitate to accept trips beyond the city limits, but GetTransfer connects you to carriers willing to drive farther and stay on schedule. The network includes drivers who specialize in both short regional trips and long intercity transfers.
Rides from Visakhapatnam
Short regional rides cover nearby beaches, hill stations and local attractions; fares for one-way rides of 30–80 km typically range from INR 900 to INR 2,500 depending on vehicle class and travel time.

Transfers from Visakhapatnam
Longer intercity transfers to destinations such as major towns or neighboring regions often involve fixed prices to account for distance, tolls and driver hours; an intercity transfer of 200–500 km can range from INR 4,500 to INR 12,000 depending on car type. GetTransfer’s database makes it straightforward to find drivers willing to undertake multi-hour journeys, and the service supports scheduling one-way or return trips with clear fare breakdowns.
We have a large database of professional drivers whose accounts are verified, ensuring that long rides and cross-region transfers run smoothly.
Scenic Views Along Routes
Routes leaving Visakhapatnam reward passengers with coastal panoramas, verdant hills and glimpses of local life. Driving north along the shore offers views of tranquil fishing villages and patches of sandy coastline, while inland roads climb along green ridges with occasional viewpoints over valleys. Along many routes you will pass groves of cashew and coconut trees, small temples tucked into hillsides, and stretches where the sea appears through gaps in the roadside foliage. Riding with a local driver often reveals tucked-away photo stops and quieter roads where the journey becomes part of the destination rather than mere transit.
