Goa is generally a safe place for tourists, and self-drive cars offer the flexibility to explore at your own pace. However, you need to take certain precautions to ensure a safe experience:

• Choose a reputable rental company: Opt for well-established and reputable car rental providers with positive customer reviews and a track record of providing safe and reliable services.
• Check the condition of the vehicle: Before renting, inspect the car for any visible damages or issues and ensure it meets all safety requirements.
• Follow traffic rules: Familiarize yourself with local traffic laws and regulations, and drive responsibly to avoid any mishaps.
• Avoid driving during late hours: It's advisable to avoid driving in unfamiliar areas during late hours to minimize any potential risks.

By being cautious and choosing a trusted car rental provider, hiring a car can be safe in Goa.

The cost-effectiveness of a taxi cab versus a self-drive car depends on various factors, including the distance traveled, the duration of usage, and individual preferences. Generally, taxi cabs might appear cheaper for short, one-time trips or when traveling in a group where the fare can be split. However, for more extended periods and multiple destinations, a self-drive car rental can often prove to be more economical.

Taxi fares can quickly add up, especially if you need to make multiple stops or travel long distances. In such cases, renting a self-drive car allows you to pay a fixed daily rate, irrespective of the distance covered, making it a more cost-efficient option.

Moreover, self-drive cars provide the freedom to explore at your own pace without worrying about the meter running or additional waiting charges. Additionally, self-drive car rentals offer transparent pricing and there’s no surge pricing during peak hours, ensuring you know what you'll pay upfront.

Overall, for more extended or flexible journeys, a self-drive car rental can be the cheaper option, providing convenience, freedom, and potentially significant savings compared to taxi cabs.
