Cab Service in Neil Island
Jetty Transfers & Beach Sightseeing

Self-drive car rental is legally NOT permitted in Andaman & Nicobar Islands, including Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep). This is a government regulation that applies to all visitors, tourists cannot rent a car and drive themselves.

When people search for "car rental in Neil Island", what they actually need, and what is available, is a chauffeur-driven cab with a local licensed driver. Teravista Getways provides exactly this: safe, reliable, fully chauffeured cab hire across all of Neil Island.

No. App-based cab services do not operate in the Andaman Islands. The islands are remote and app-based ride-hailing is entirely absent here.

This, combined with the fact that you could be stuck at the jetty with nowhere to go. We strongly advise booking with Teravista Getways before you board your ferry.

Walk-in cabs at the Neil Island Jetty are available but very limited, especially during peak season. Pre-booking is the safest option.

The safest approach is to pre-book your jetty transfer with us before departing from Port Blair or Havelock. Your driver will be there with your name on a board when you walk off the ferry ramp.

Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) is a small, compact island. All major attractions are within easy cab distance:

• Laxmanpur Beach 1, the iconic sunset point, most popular beach on the island
• Laxmanpur Beach 2 & Natural Bridge, the famous coral rock arch formation, best at low tide
• Bharatpur Beach, closest beach to the jetty, great for water sports and snorkelling
• Sitapur Beach, the pristine, rarely-crowded sunrise point at the far end of the island

Our drivers know the best times to visit each beach and can help plan your island day for maximum enjoyment.

Yes, absolutely! Sitapur Beach is one of the most breathtaking sunrise spots in the Andaman Islands, and it's best experienced well before 6 AM when the beach is completely deserted.

We offer early morning cabs starting from 5 AM. Pre-book the night before (or better yet, before you arrive on the island) and your driver will pick you up at your hotel at the agreed time. Sunrise at Sitapur Beach, we'll get you there at the right time.

Yes, they are the same island. The Government of India officially renamed Neil Island to Shaheed Dweep in 2018. However, "Neil Island" remains the name most tourists and travel platforms use, and both names are understood and accepted across Andaman.

When booking your cab with us, ferry tickets or hotel reservations, you can use either name, locals know both. The jetty is now officially referred to as Shaheed Dweep Jetty, though it is still commonly called the Neil Island Jetty.
