Taxi Service
Private taxis and driver hire across Sri Lanka — English-speaking, fixed prices, air-conditioned, and the same friendly face for a single ride or your whole trip.
Taxi & private driver
Public buses are cheap and the trains are beautiful, but neither waits while you photograph a paddy field or decides to stop for king coconut. A private taxi with one of our drivers is the way most visitors actually see Sri Lanka — door to door, on your clock, with someone local up front who speaks English and has driven these roads for years.
It isn't just an airport-to-hotel service either. Keep the same driver for a day, a week or your whole trip, and the car becomes your base — bags stay put, the AC's always cold, and you get an unofficial guide thrown in. Ask where the good rice and curry is and you'll eat better than any guidebook would send you.
Pickups and drop-offs island-wide — these are the ones we run daily.

We match the car to the trip — no squeezing four people and a fortnight's luggage into a sedan to save a few rupees. Tell us your numbers and we'll send the right size.
A comfortable air-conditioned sedan — the easy choice for couples and solo travellers. Nimble on narrow roads, easy on fuel, cold AC.
The workhorse of Sri Lankan touring — a high-roof van with real luggage space and room to stretch on the longer hill-country runs.
For families and groups travelling together, with space for everyone and their cases without anyone riding with a bag on their lap.
A metered taxi or app is fine for a short hop across town. For touring, though, you want a driver who'll wait at viewpoints, knows the good lunch stops, and doesn't restart the meter every time you pause. Our taxis are private hires with a fixed price agreed upfront, the same friendly driver all day, and no clock ticking while you enjoy yourself. It's a different job entirely.
Tell us your dates and what you'd love to see. We'll send a friendly, no-obligation itinerary and quote within 24 hours.
