I would be travelling to the city of Coimbatore in South India and I would like to know if there will be taxi facilities from the Airport to the Hotel. I checked up in Google Maps and I see that the airport is quite a bit away from the city center. So, does anybody know if they have this option of "pre-paid taxis" which is common in some other Indian airports which I have already visited. I would be arriving at around 07:30.

And how expensive would these taxi services be? If they are too expensive, are there any alternate options?

Summoning an Uber is out of question because I do not have an Indian sim card and I cannot use my German number in India as well.

According to Rome 2 Rio, the taxi would only cost you few $ (less than 10) to get from the airport to the city center.

Then if you google "Coimbatore airport taxi", you'll find a lot of companies where you can book a taxi in advance :)

Adding some links (I haven't tested any of these companies) : http://www.savaari.com/coimbatore/airport-taxi

Answering from Coimbatore, hope this answer is helpful for others who travel to Coimbatore Airport.

The airport is 16Km from the City Center, Pre-paid taxis are available as in other Indian airports. You can reach any point of the city from the airport well under USD 7.5 (INR 500).

Apart from the airport taxi, you can also make use of private taxis that ply over the city. The maximum cost for a Km is USD 0.3.

Some of the private taxi networks in Coimbatore are:

Apart from these, app based taxis are also available

  • Uber
  • Ola

As an alternate, public transport buses are available very frequently. But you are required to walk for around 500 metres for the nearest bus stop. For details on bus routes, you can check the site way2cbe (Stopname: SITRA/Airport)
