Transportation to Airport from Kochi City Center
Cochin Intl. Airport
Kochi is located in the state of Kerala, India and lies approximately 37 kilometers away from Cochin International Airport. You can take taxis, buses and rent a car or get on a train and then switch to another vehicle in order to go to the airport from the city center.
Taxi
If you are going to take a taxi for your transfer to the airport from the city center of Kochi, it is possible for you to call a taxi online. The fares requested per kilometer can differ according to the model, brand and the comfort status of the cars. You can also request UBER and OLA if you wish. It is possible to determine the total fee of the transfer by entering the points the car is going to travel between in the online application.
Bus
You can make choices for alternative trips for the buses leaving from the city center of Kochi. The bus services provided by the Kerala State Road Transport are categorized as Super-Fast, Express and Premium. The super-fast buses are green-red, the fast-express buses are white-blue, and the premium buses are orange and comfortable with air conditioners. The orange buses leave every half an hour and the other buses every 10-20 minutes, which is same for those leaving from the airport. Quickness, comfort and price are the criteria to consider while selecting the vehicle. You can learn the departure times from the bus terminal in the city center and complete an economical transfer. You pay minimum 1.5 USD for your journeys by the buses.
Train
Kochi is a station where long-distance trains stop. The trains are significantly crowded; however, they are among the most economical transfer alternatives. Because the train station between the city and the airport is under construction, you can travel by changing your vehicles. Firstly, you go to Aluva (10 kilometers south) or Angamally (6 kilometers north) stations from Kochi by train, and then to the airport from here; then you reach the airport cargo terminal area with the three-wheel local cars.
Car Rental
If you would like to rent a car to go to the city center from Cochin Airport, you can obtain such a service from the taxi fleet companies. Or you can rent a car from corporate companies with service understanding like AVIS and Zoom. You must have an international driver’s license in order to drive a car. NH 544 & NH 66 is the one with the shortest length among the roads of Kochi heading towards the airport. You can reach the airport on NH 47, NH 17 and NH 49 in half an hour.
Hotel Transfer
You can ask while making your reservation whether the hotel you are going to stay at in Kochi provides airport transfer or not. Not every hotel provides transfer, but they can find solutions upon your request.
