Why a private transfer

Skip the guesswork of getting around Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's roads are beautiful but unpredictable. Hill country bends, unmarked turns, and taxi fares that shift depending on who you ask can turn a simple trip into a hassle. With a private transfer, you agree on the price before you travel, and a vetted driver takes care of the rest.

Whether you're flying into Bandaranaike International Airport, moving between hill country towns, or heading to a beach resort on the south coast, we'll match you with a car and driver suited to your trip. No generic taxi queue, no guessing what you'll pay.

Built-in child seats

What we offer

One service, built around how people actually travel

From a quick airport pickup to a two-week itinerary with the same driver throughout, here's how a private transfer adapts to your trip.

Airport Transfers

Meet and greet at Colombo (CMB), Mattala, or Ratmalana. Your driver tracks your flight, so they're waiting even if you land late. No queues, no app-hailing in an unfamiliar arrivals hall.

Intercity Routes

Direct transfers between major hubs like Colombo, Kandy, Ella, Galle, and Nuwara Eliya. Add a scenic stop along the way without any extra booking hassle.

Hourly & Full-Day Hire

Keep one driver and car on standby for a day of sightseeing, temple visits, or city meetings. Pay by the hour or the day while the car waits for you.

Safari & Tour Transfers

Transport to Yala, Udawalawe, or Minneriya, timed around park entry windows so you're not stuck arriving after the gates open.

Family & Group Transport

Vans for up to 10 passengers, child seats on request, and enough luggage space for surfboards, strollers, or extra suitcases.

Business & Corporate

Punctual, professional pickups with invoicing for expense reports. Corporate accounts are available for teams who book regularly.

Common questions

Before you book

The answers to what most travelers ask before reserving a private transfer in Sri Lanka.

Pricing depends on distance, vehicle type, and whether you need a one-way or return trip. A sedan from Colombo Airport to Kandy starts around $45, while longer hill-country routes like Colombo to Ella run closer to $95. Every quote includes the driver, fuel, and highway tolls, so the price you're shown is the price you pay.

Yes, provided you book through a service that vets its drivers. Every driver in our network holds a valid commercial license and passes a background check before approval. We also share your driver's details and a live trip link before pickup, so you always know who's collecting you and where they are.

Yes. The fixed price you're quoted includes fuel and any expressway tolls for the route booked. The only added costs are optional extras you choose yourself, such as a scenic detour, an extra stop, or a vehicle upgrade.

Yes to both. Child seats can be added free of charge when you book. Just tell us your child's age so we bring the right size. Female drivers are available on request, subject to availability on your route and travel date, so let us know early to confirm.

We track your flight number automatically, so if you land late, your driver will still be waiting at no extra charge for reasonable delays. If your flight is cancelled or rescheduled to a different day, contact us as soon as you know so we can move your pickup time.

Same-day and overnight bookings are both possible, subject to driver availability in your area. For urgent or late-night pickups, booking as early as you can improves your chances, and our support line is open 24/7 for last-minute requests.

You can pay online by card when you book, or in cash directly to the driver in USD or Sri Lankan Rupees. Online bookings may require a small deposit to confirm the reservation, with the balance settled at the end of your trip.

Cancellations made more than 24 hours before pickup are fully refundable. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge, since a driver has already been assigned to your trip. Full terms are confirmed at the time of booking.
