One driver, your whole trip

Private driver in Sri Lanka.

Hiring a private driver is the easiest way to see Sri Lanka at your own pace. One driver and one car stay with you for the whole trip, on a flexible itinerary built around you, 24/7 and anywhere on the island.

A typical day starts with a pickup at your hotel. Your driver handles the roads between sights, suggests roadside stops along the way, and takes you on to your next hotel when you're ready. Waiting time is always included, so there's no clock running while you explore.

A private driver suits families, couples and groups who want to cover several regions, from the hill country to the south coast, without changing cars or booking separate transfers.

Choose the vehicle to fit your group: a sedan for 3–4 passengers, a Toyota Hi-Ace van for 7–9, a Mercedes or BMW luxury sedan, or a Coaster mini-bus or coach for 12–45. Every vehicle in our 38-vehicle fleet is under six years old, air-conditioned and government-licensed, with room for every bag from a solo traveller to a 45-seat group.

All our drivers speak English and know the roads across the island. On a multi-day trip the driver's accommodation and meals are part of the all-in arrangement, so there's nothing extra to sort out on the road.

Taxi service FAQ

Questions before you ride.

  • Booking is simple — call or WhatsApp us on +94 74 327 3766, email colombotaxiairports@gmail.com, or use the booking form on our website. Share your pickup location, destination, date, and group size. We confirm within minutes with a fixed all-in price, your driver's name, and his contact number.

  • Yes — we operate around the clock, every day of the year. Our dispatch office in Negombo is staffed 24 hours, so you can book a taxi at 3 a.m. or on a public holiday at the same fixed prices. Late-night pickups, early-morning airport drops, last-minute changes — all handled by a real human, not a chatbot.

  • Yes — 24/7 airport pickups from Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) and Mattala Rajapaksa International (HRI). Our driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign, helps with luggage, and takes you anywhere on the island. Live flight tracking is included so delays, diversions, and early arrivals are never a problem.

  • Absolutely — our chauffeur-on-retainer service is quoted as one fixed all-in price confirmed on booking, including the vehicle, fuel and the driver's accommodation and meals while on tour. One driver, one car, your entire Sri Lanka trip. He learns your preferences, suggests roadside stops, and quietly disappears when you want to be left alone.

  • Cars (sedans for 3–4 passengers), vans (Toyota Hi-Ace for 7–9), luxury sedans (Mercedes, BMW for VIP travel), and mini-buses (Coaster, coach for 12–45 passengers). All vehicles are under six years old, air-conditioned, washed the morning of pickup, and government-licensed.

  • Always fixed. The quote on your booking email is exactly what you pay. Taxes, tolls, fuel, parking, waiting time — all included. No surge pricing during weekends or peak season, no hidden fees, no last-minute upcharges. If traffic turns a three-hour drive into five, that's our problem, not yours.
