• Vehicle on Rent

The most expensive part about Goa is the Taxi service. They say your flight ticket maybe cheaper than the drive to the hotel. The better options are to rent your own two wheeler or four wheeler depending on the number of people you’ll are. You can also try out the local bus services which is pretty reasonable. A unique feature of Goa’s transport is motorcycle taxis which ply customers at reasonable rates.

You will be surprised at the rates during off season in Goa. The off season is from May to September during the monsoons. Rates get slashed by almost half the usual charges during this time.

• Nightlife

When it comes to nightlife, watch out for those spots that have offers. Many popular venues have happy hours during a particular time, also ladies get drinks on the house on certain days. Also it is a good option to purchase your own alcohol from retail stores rather than drinking in restaurants. The cost of alcohol is much cheaper at stores.

• Shopping & Goan Delicacies

Try Goan local delicacies and eat the street food of Goa in the evenings which is a very reasonable option compared to restaurants.

Avoid shopping beach side as the vendors there are known to fleece tourists. Instead shop in the city or village local markets. These are the places that the local crowd shops at and rates here are reasonable.

Holidaying in Goa can be a pleasing experience, and doing it at the comfort of your budget is the best feeling ever. So head down to Goa and make the best of your trip. As the Goans say Viva..!
