Notes from the back seat

What guests write home about.

Very good service. Rashi picked us up on time and was very professional. He showed us the important places on the way while driving us to the hotel. I can recommend this taxi service. Reasonable prices compared to airport taxis.

My journey has been fantastic, even though my flight was postponed by seven hours. They showed great empathy towards my circumstances. The driver was right on time at our designated meeting spot. Throughout the entire process, the instructions and communication with him were always precise, as was our conversation before and during the ride. I definitely recommend this experience.

Ashoka Ranjani

Chanaka was waiting for me in Colombo Airport and was super easy to find him with his car. And also the comunication before meet him. I had a delay with my flight of 7 hours and he was super polite and very understanding with my situation. Definetly, the best experience you can find.

To begin with, I want to mention that Colombo Taxi Airport offers an outstanding taxi service. We hired a taxi from Weligama to Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport, and everything was arranged perfectly. The car was of high quality, spotless, and extremely comfortable, and the driver showed up on time.

Tharaka sewwandi

Excellent experience! Great driver who’s super nice. Picked us up on time, stopped for the bathroom and toured us around on the way to the hotel. Couldn’t have asked for a better driver 🫶

Jacqueline Babac

I highly recommend this taxi service. It’s a great owner and the transportation is very nice. The taxi arrived on time and the atmosphere in the car was quiet and relaxing. I really enjoyed it. The driver was friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you so much!!

Ella Renetzeder

Our driver Suvi was punctual, warm and very polite and our ride from the airport to Unawatuna was very comfortable. Communication with Chanaka was very clear, before arriving in Sri Lanka. Highly recommended taxi service.

Trim Baa

They decorated the white Mercedes exactly as I'd described to my fiancée's mother — orchids, white ribbon, photos of us on the dashboard. The driver wore a tie. Our photographer thanked them afterwards.

Marcus

Very good service, from guy Suvi, speaks English, smells good, and well dressed. We stop at the best spots on 17 hour trip with him. Car was clean, and we were able to listen our own music. Recomend.

Friendly driver, comfortable car and safe driving from Weligama to Colombo. We contacted them through WhatsApp number we found on the website and they were nice and friendly offering a competitive price.

I had an excellent experience using this Colombo Airport taxi service. The driver arrived right on time and was very professional from start to finish. The vehicle was clean, spacious, and comfortable, which made the journey very relaxing after a long flight. The driving was safe and smooth, and the driver was friendly and respectful.
