Re: Prices
I have sent you a private message which should more than equip you to start your process re Technica. I wish you the very best - and have continued to offer futher help should you need it - despite your very spiteful comment which would be far more suited to pm than open site !
Dread - very un - petty !

Re: Prices
It is understandable as a lot of us are involved but sooner or later just about every long running thread on the forum gets around to our property ownership problems. Can we get back to prices? I would be interested to know if the taxis have put up their prices again. Last season drivers wanted to charge 200 one way from Arpora to Calangute which I would not pay so they would take me for 100 which is still over the government rate
I found last year and the one before that most wanted 100 rupees before they would even start the engine, even for a short journey. It seemed also that the ones who are pitched up outside the hotels and resorts tended to charge the higher prices.
I did find some who would do local rates for me once I rang them a few times - well worth finding a couple of nice ones and getting their numbers then using them all the time.
Slightly askew from prices but inextricably linked - is the exchange rate still creeping up at the moment?

Re: Prices
Sorry Dave you have not had any replies regarding "Technica UK" I for one have never heard of them. If it is a property company, try again on Buyer Beware or start a new thread.

I think taxis are a bit of a law unto themselves over there - like Msj5 says - too many with not enough customers !

Re: Prices
