Taxi & Car Rental in Manipal, With Driver

Udupi district · Chauffeur-driven only · Doorstep pickup

Manipal runs on arrivals and departures — parents flying in for an admission, families down for a hospital appointment, batches leaving at the end of term. We are ten minutes away in Udupi and treat Manipal as the same pickup zone, so there is no extra charge for the leg across.

Most Manipal bookings are one of three things: the Mangaluru airport run, about 65 km and ninety minutes on a good day; a Kasturba Hospital or KMC appointment where the driver waits rather than being called back; or a weekend out to Malpe, Agumbe, Kollur or St. Mary's Island. We pick up at hostel blocks, department gates and hospital entrances, not just houses, and for a 4 AM departure you get the driver's name and number the evening before.

Where we pick up in Manipal

  • MAHE and MIT campus blocks
  • Kasturba Hospital and KMC entrances
  • Manipal hostels and PG accommodation
  • End Point and Tiger Circle
  • Udupi town, Ambalpady and the Krishna Matha
  • Manipal Lake and Eshwar Nagar

We booked an Innova for our family trip from Mookambika to Mangalore. The entire experience was smooth and hassle-free, from booking to payment. Our driver, Kiran, was very professional, friendly, and courteous throughout the journey. He drove safely and made the trip comfortable for our family. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend their service to others.
Dr Rahul · MangaloreMookambika to Mangalore via Udupi
Had a wonderful experience with this service for our round trip from Udupi to Sringeri on 5-Oct-2026. The pricing was very affordable, and our driver, Haris, was extremely friendly, professional, and courteous throughout the journey. The Etios was clean and in excellent condition. What impressed me the most was his safe and confident driving, especially during heavy rain and on the ghat roads. He also drove very carefully while returning at night. I travelled with my family and felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Overall, it was a very smooth and pleasant experience. I would definitely avail of this service again in the future and would highly recommend Haris and this service to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and affordable ride.
