If you are a single traveler than try the two wheeler taxis which is even more reasonable. The other option is to hire a two wheeler and explore the inner roads.
Goa is absolutely safe to drive and explore all the time.The long stretch of beaches from Fort Aguada till Baga and the little shacks. Dont miss "goan fish curry and rice" in Suza Lobo's restaurant in Callangute - there is no substitute.
