Best time to visit
November to February is the most comfortable stretch — cooler and drier. October to December is Tamil Nadu's main north-east monsoon season on the coast, so it's worth checking the weather before you travel then.
Safety on the road
Every Cabmart trip is tracked live from pickup to drop, and every driver is verified before their first ride. In an emergency, the in-app SOS button alerts your emergency contacts and dials 112 with your live location.
