Get your luggage, exit Kochi Airport (KCZ-Ryoma), and pick up your rental car. Which one you climb into depends on what your travel itinerary looks like. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Kochi, around 9 miles from the terminal, choose something zippy and small. A compact car that’s easy to operate will suit those busy city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the gorgeous bays of the surrounding region, there’s a good chance you’ll rack up those miles. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
