Be surprised to find out how hiring for a taxi service will create an impact on your journey on roads.

Are you a tourist or are you going to be one?

You know you are that confused tourist waiting at the Cochin airport or at any of the railway stations at Kerala. The next thing that you will do is take your bags and head out if you have no cabs arranged to pick you up. You may find a bus or get an auto – the bus will take you to your location at a fixed price but only after a jam-packed ride with the other travellers. Next one is the auto ride and you can keep your bags at the back, sit and chitchat with the driver and at the end of the ride, you will have to pay a higher amount of cash.

• Keep your doubts aside and search for Dreams Cabs and call right away if you are already at the airport or railway station.
• If you are about to embark on a trip to Kerala, book for a taxi service in advance. As a major amount of tours at Kerala starts from Cochin, there is no dearth of taxi services at this city.
• A lot of travellers from Kerala travel to airports and railway stations too and sometimes they are forced to leave their cars at the parking lot paying a lot of money. Getting a taxi means no issues when it comes to parking and no tensions of leaving your cars at unfamiliar places.

Are you a professional?

You must be a fresher working with a basic salary or the one with a high salary. Keeping that aside, everybody wants to travel at cheaper rates but needs great services. If you are an employer at a company where it takes more than an hour to reach your office, you will have to rush to catch that only bus which will miss if you sleep for just a minute more than the usual. If you are a commuter who travels by bus, why not shift to a taxi as they provide door-to-door service and will pick you up from home and drop at your office without you having to worry about reaching late.
