Private transfers across Sri Lanka, arranged by a local team

Getting around Sri Lanka is the part most trips get wrong. Public buses are cheap but slow, and airport taxi touts quote one price at the kerb and another at the door. We run private Sri Lanka airport transfers and island-wide road transport the way we run our tours — one agreed price, a driver we know personally, and a vehicle that suits your group and your luggage.

Whether you need a single ride from Bandaranaike International Airport to your Negombo hotel, or a driver for a long hop from Colombo to Kandy or Ella to the south coast, tell us the route and we will come back with a fixed all-in price.

Airport Transfers

Bandaranaike International (CMB) to your hotel in Negombo, Colombo, Kandy or anywhere on the island — and back again for your departure. Send your flight number when you book so your driver can adjust if you land late.

City-to-City Rides

Colombo to Kandy, Kandy to Ella, Ella down to the south coast beaches. Travel on your own schedule, stop for photos or a roadside king coconut, and arrive without changing trains or buses.

Full-Day Chauffeur

Keep the vehicle and driver for the whole day and build your own route. Best for multi-stop sightseeing, day trips out of Colombo, or families who want a base to come back to between stops.

Six vehicle types — from tuk-tuk to luxury SUV

The right vehicle depends on your group, your luggage and how far you are going. A tuk-tuk is perfect for a short hop across Colombo and hopeless for four people with suitcases heading to Ella. We match the vehicle to the trip and tell you which one your quote is based on.

  • Tuk-tuk — short city hops and the most fun way to see Colombo.
  • Car — couples and solo travellers with normal luggage.
  • Van — families and small groups who want room to spread out.
  • Luxury SUV — long routes and hill-country roads in comfort.
  • Larger coaches — available on request for bigger groups.

Every vehicle is air-conditioned and driven by a licensed driver who works with us regularly — not a stranger assigned by an app.

Sri Lanka transfer questions, answered

How much does a Sri Lanka airport transfer cost?

It depends on the distance, the vehicle and the time of day, so we quote each route individually rather than publishing a rate that turns out to be wrong for your trip. Send us your pickup and drop-off points and we will reply with one fixed all-in price — that is the number you pay, with no per-kilometre extras added at the end.

Will my driver wait if my flight is delayed?

Give us your flight number when you book and we will follow the arrival time. Delays happen constantly on long-haul routes into Colombo, and we would rather plan for them than leave you stranded in the arrivals hall.

Can I be picked up from anywhere in Sri Lanka?

Yes. We cover the whole island — Colombo, Negombo, Kandy, Ella, Galle, Mirissa, Sigiriya, Trincomalee and everywhere between. Remote pickups are fine, they just need a little more notice.

Can I add stops along the way?

Of course. Most of our longer transfers include a stop or two — a viewpoint, a tea factory, lunch. Tell us what you would like to see and we will build it into the quote so there is no debate on the road.

How do I pay?

We confirm the price and payment options with you when you book. If anything is unclear, message us on WhatsApp and a real person will answer.

Do you also run tours?

Yes — transfers grew out of our tour business. If you would rather have a guide as well as a driver, see our Sri Lanka tours and holiday packages.
