When it makes sense
Hiring a driver beats arranging transport when…
Sri Lanka’s distances look short on a map, but hill roads, coastal traffic and stops between towns add up. With a driver, the logistics disappear and the day stays yours to shape.
- A full day of sightseeing without parking or navigation stress
- A week-long circuit where the same vehicle stays with you
- Moving between hotels with luggage handled for you
- Early morning departures — safaris, flights, train stations
- A flexible backup while you travel with children or older relatives
- Business travel with a set schedule between meetings

FAQ
Questions before hiring
Do you provide airport transfers?
Yes. We meet you at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) with a name board, monitor your flight number and drive you to your hotel or next destination anywhere in Sri Lanka — including on departure day.
Can I book a private car for several days?
Yes. You can book a single transfer, a full-day hire, or keep the same vehicle and chauffeur for a multi-day tour. The car does not change between stops unless you ask for a different vehicle category.
Can I customize my itinerary?
That is most of what we do. Send us your dates, the places you want to see and how fast you like to travel, and we will suggest a practical route with realistic driving times.
Will I have the same driver throughout my tour?
On a multi-day tour, the same chauffeur stays with you from pick-up to drop-off. If anything changes during the trip, you are speaking to the same person rather than a new driver each morning.
Are the vehicles air-conditioned?
Yes. Every vehicle we arrange is air-conditioned, which matters more than it sounds on coastal roads and in the lowlands.
How many people can travel in each vehicle?
We work with sedans for up to three passengers, SUVs for up to four, and vans for up to seven or eight depending on the layout. We assign the vehicle to your group and luggage rather than the other way round.
