About Renting a Car at Manohar International Airport (GOX)

Manohar International Airport (GOX) in Mopa is Goa's new airport, opened in 2022 and located approximately 40 km north of Panaji near Pernem. One rental company operates on-site, so plan your car needs in advance. The airport is in northern Goa, close to beaches such as Arambol (15 km) and Morjim (20 km).

Panaji city center is about 50 km away, approximately 60-70 minutes' drive south along NH66. Since there is only one rental company at GOX, you should book well in advance - alternatively, arrange a transfer to Panaji and rent a car there. Northern Goa has narrower roads leading to the beaches, so a compact car is recommended.

Check if the rental company offers drop-off at Dabolim for more flexible travel. How do I get from Manohar Airport to Calangute? With a rental car approximately 35 km south, roughly 45-55 minutes via NH66.

Why is there only one rental company at GOX? Manohar is a relatively new airport and the rental sector is still developing. More operators are expected to establish themselves in the coming years.

Can I return the rental car at Dabolim instead of GOX? It depends on the rental company's policy. Ask specifically about one-way rental between Goa's two airports when booking.

We compare prices from all major providers at Manohar International Airport (GOX) so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
