How to Rent a Self Drive Car at Dabolim Airport
Step-by-step: documents, meet-and-greet at GOI arrivals, and how long pickup takes for car rental in Dabolim.
Landing at Goa International Airport (GOI) and wanting your own keys is the most common reason people search for car rental in Dabolim. This is a self drive handover, not a taxi booth.
Before you fly
- Submit an enquiry with dates, flight number, and car type (hatchback, SUV, Innova Crysta).
- Wait for WhatsApp confirmation of availability — usually within 15 minutes.
- Pack a valid driving licence (1+ year), Aadhaar or passport, and a card for the refundable deposit.
Foreign visitors should carry a home-country licence and, where required, an International Driving Permit.
At Dabolim Airport arrivals
After baggage claim, look for the GetGo Rentals name board. We track delays when you share the flight number. Typical handover is under 15 minutes: inspect the car, sign, collect keys.
Airport pickup is complimentary. There is no GOI “convenience fee” on our self drive bookings.
After you leave the terminal
South Goa beaches (Colva, Benaulim) are about 25–35 minutes. Panjim is about 40 minutes. Margao is about 25 minutes. Drop the car back at GOI on departure, or ask about one-way to Mopa Airport.
