A destination-first cab platform built exclusively for Andaman — making local travel simple, transparent, and agent-free. App Launching 2026.
For now you can book the cab from Loco Cabs using the Webapp
Today if a traveler wants to book the cab in Andaman islands, the challenge for most travelers face is not the lack of cabs or drivers. Local drivers are available, and many are genuinely helpful. The real issue is the absence of a structured, traveler-facing system.
You land at Port Blair Airport with luggage, maybe a ferry to catch in a few hours, and suddenly you realize there is no Ola and no Uber in Andaman. Getting a cab usually means calling someone, then calling someone else, coordinating through agents or hotels, and hoping everything works on time. For many travelers, this becomes the most confusing part of an otherwise beautiful trip.
What travelers actually need is not more contacts, but one reliable platform that understands how island travel works.
Loco Cabs fixes this by offering:
- Minimal steps to book a cab
- Clear fare structure
- Instant driver availability
- No hidden charges
- Straightforward confirmations
Introducing Loco Cabs (Dedicated App Launching 2026)
Loco Cabs is a dedicated cab booking platform launched on 31 December 2025 as a web-app for now, built exclusively for the Andaman Islands.
It brings the convenience people associate with platforms like Ola and Uber — but adapts it to how travel actually works in Andaman. Instead of copying mainland city models, Loco Cabs is designed around island realities, where timing, coordination, and local knowledge matter far more than instant ride matching.
Through a simple app (launching in 2026) and web platform which is currently live, travelers can book cabs directly, without calling agents, without negotiating fares, and without depending on hotel coordination.
In short, Loco Cabs is built to give travelers clarity and control over local transportation in Andaman.
Key Features of Loco Cabs & How it Works
At its core, Loco Cabs is designed to work like any familiar cab app, but adapted for how travel actually happens in the Andaman Islands.
The platform allows travelers to search, plan, and book cabs easily, without calling agents or coordinating over multiple messages.
Easy Search & Booking
Travelers can simply:
- Enter their pickup location
- Select their drop location
- Choose the type of car
- Confirm the ride
The process feels familiar to anyone who has used a cab app before, while being optimised for Andaman’s routes, distances, and travel patterns.
Two Simple Booking Options
Loco Cabs offers two booking modes, depending on how and when travelers need a cab.
1️⃣ Book Now
The Book Now option is designed for travelers who are already in the Andaman Islands and need a cab immediately.
This option is ideal when:
You’ve just landed at Port Blair Airport
You need a quick transfer between locations
Plans change and you need a cab at short notice
Travelers can book a cab instantly based on availability, just like a regular city cab app — but with drivers who understand local routes and timing realities.
2️⃣ Schedule (Pre-Book)
The Schedule option is for travelers who prefer to plan their transportation in advance.
With scheduled bookings:
- You can pre-book a cab for a future date and time
- All trip details are confirmed beforehand
- Booking information and confirmations are shared over WhatsApp
- You can travel freely without worrying about last-minute coordination
This option works especially well for:
- Airport pickups
- Early-morning jetty drops
- Sightseeing days
- Multi-day itineraries
By pre-booking, travelers can lock in their transportation early and focus on enjoying the trip instead of coordinating logistics on arrival.
What You Can Book on Loco Cabs
Loco Cabs is not limited to short point-to-point rides. It is built for the kind of travel most people actually do in Andaman.
Travelers can use Loco Cabs for:
- Airport pickups and drops at Port Blair Airport
- Jetty transfers in Port Blair, Havelock and Neil
- Full-day sightseeing in and around Port Blair
- Multi-day, itinerary-based travel, where the same vehicle supports multiple days of movement
Instead of arranging different cabs for different needs, travelers can manage their entire local commute from a single platform.
Where Can You Use Loco Cabs?
At launch, Loco Cabs will be accessible through the Dekho Andaman platform as a web-app
Loco Cabs has partnered with the Dekho Andaman team, allowing travelers to book cabs while planning their Andaman trip through the same platform.
A dedicated Loco Cabs website and mobile app are currently under development and will be launched as a standalone platform in a later phase.
Until then, travelers can use Loco Cabs through this integration to book cabs and manage local transportation in Andaman.
Pricing That Makes Sense for Andaman
Pricing confusion is one of the most common stress points for travelers in Andaman.
Loco Cabs introduces transparent, route-based pricing, designed around:
- Actual travel routes
- Typical sightseeing durations
- Local fuel and vehicle maintenance realities
Andaman travel involves variables like weather and ferry delays and we think, pricing should not be one of them. With Loco Cabs, travelers see pricing before booking and know what to expect.
Who the Drivers Are and Why That Matters
Loco Cabs works with local Andaman drivers who are carefully onboarded to follow a clear set of standards. These drivers:
- Understand island routes and realistic timing buffers
- Are familiar with ferry schedules and jetty coordination
- Follow clear expectations around punctuality, behaviour, and service
Drivers are onboarded through identity verification, basic vehicle condition checks, and orientation on how Loco Cabs works. Because they operate under the Loco Cabs brand, reliability and professionalism matter. Drivers who consistently provide smooth, punctual service receive more bookings over time, creating a system where honesty and helpfulness are naturally rewarded.
For travelers, this means fewer surprises, clearer communication, and a more relaxed experience. For drivers, it means dignity, consistency, and the support of a platform that values long-term trust over short-term gains.
How Loco Cabs Compares to Agent or Hotel-Based Booking
In Andaman, hotel-arranged cabs and local agents have long been the default option — and in many cases, they do work. But they often come with limited visibility for travelers.
Typically, travelers:
- Don’t see pricing until the last moment
- Don’t know who the driver is in advance
- Have to coordinate changes through calls or messages
- Rely entirely on intermediaries for updates
Loco Cabs doesn’t aim to replace these systems aggressively. Instead, it offers an alternative that puts clarity in the traveler’s hands.
With Loco Cabs, travelers can:
- See pricing before booking
- Know their pickup and drop clearly
- Manage all local transfers from one platform
- Reduce dependency on agents and follow-ups
It’s a shift from arranged travel to managed travel.
How Loco Cabs Improves the Overall Andaman Travel Experience
When local transportation works smoothly, everything else falls into place.
With Loco Cabs:
- Airport arrivals feel calmer and more organised
- Jetty transfers align better with ferry schedules
- Sightseeing days run with less stress and fewer interruptions
Travelers don’t have to spend energy coordinating logistics or worrying about timing. Instead, transportation quietly supports the journey — exactly how it should.
Supporting Local Drivers and the Andaman Economy
Loco Cabs is designed to strengthen the local ecosystem, not disrupt it.
For local drivers, the platform provides:
- Direct access to travelers
- Reduced dependence on agents and middlemen
- More consistent and predictable booking opportunities
For travelers, this translates into better service, clearer communication, and a more dependable experience overall. A healthier system benefits
Launching in 2026: What to Expect
Loco Cabs is scheduled to launch in 2026, with a clear focus on getting one destination right.
The goal is not rapid expansion, but:
- Building reliability first
- Understanding local travel patterns deeply
- Creating a platform that travelers and drivers can trust
As Andaman travel continues to grow, Loco Cabs aims to become a steady, dependable part of the journey.
What Loco Cabs Is Not
To set the right expectations, it’s equally important to understand what Loco Cabs is not.
Loco Cabs is:
- Not a discount-driven cab app
- Not built on surge pricing or dynamic fare spikes
- Not designed for random, instant ride matching like city apps
It is built for destinations where planning matters more than speed, and where reliability matters more than discounts.
