The Cochin Airport to Trivandrum via NH66 route follows the coast through Cherthala, Alleppey, Kayamkulam and Kollam. A CIAL to Trivandrum taxi usually stops for a meal around Alleppey or Kollam. The Cochin Airport to Trivandrum via MC Road route runs inland through Muvattupuzha, Kottayam, Adoor and Kilimanoor. Drivers pick it when the coast has heavy roadworks or traffic. It is a little longer but passes through green rubber country and small church towns. On the coastal route, a Cochin Airport to Attingal taxi reaches the last big town before the capital. The road then enters the city at Kazhakoottam, near the IT corridor and the start of the bypass. From there, drivers choose the quickest way through traffic to your address.
