Safe & Reliable service
Kavishka was very helpful in getting me Eranga and a good car for my entire 6 days trip in Sri Lanka. Eranga was the driver cum guide taking us from one city to another. Colombo-Kandy-Nuwara Eliya-Weerawila-Hikkaduwa-Colombo. My wife & I had an amazing experience in Sri Lanka. Kavisha even helped arrange the Yala National Park safari. I would totally recommend anyone visiting Sri Lanka to use Saylanka Tours. They are safe, reliable and give a good price compared to other operators.

Highly recommend for a seamless experience in Sri Lanka
I visited Sri Lanka for 6 days and connected with Say Lanka tours to rent a car with chauffeur to go across the country. From the start, Mr Kavishka was very helpful in providing us a good quote, suggestion on places, hotels and restaurants. He even offered to help us book local train tickets and visits. He was very communicative and patient in answering all my questions. We had a seamless and worry free experience. Tte vehicle was new and in good condition. Our chauffeur Mr Sampath was very friendly, ounctual and knowledgeable he shared a lot of local knowledge and took us to good restaurants. He was well experienced in driving through mountain roads, especially in rainy season. Highly recommend Say Lanka tours for a good experience in Sri Lanka.

Worry free and affordable
We engaged this company for a driver from Kandy to Ella to Undawalawe to Galle and finally to Negombo. The communication with Kavishka was prompt and clear. He assigned Eranga for our whirlwind tour driver. What a pleasant experience. He had good info along the way, great ideas for lunch stops and lots of local knowledge. Mist importantly for us he wasn't super chatty, very unobtrusive. A gem. Highly recommend this group

Reliable service
We hired a driver for 7 days with SayLanka and everything went well. Kavishka helped us a lot with the organization and he made himself available via WhatsApp for our many questions. Our driver Rusiru was very nice and kind to us and also very reliable. During the whole trip we didn’t have any issue and overall it was a great experience! The only downside is that the driver didn’t have a good English, he only knew some basic words, which made it hard to communicate sometimes.

Best Travel we Ever Had!Thanks to Saylanka Tours
We visited Sri Lanka after the bombing when tourism was down and we were just one of the few dare devils who did not cancel our trip to this amazing country. To make our travel run as smoothly as possible we decided to hire a chauffeur for 9 days thru SayLanka Tours. What drawn us into chosing Saylanka was the fact that they did not require us a partial payment prior to our arrival. Apart from this Kavishka was also hands on in helping us build our iterinary to the point that he even bought train and safari tickets on our behalf even if we havent even made any payment to him yet. He assigned Eranga as our driver who took us to many places even those that were not included in our iterinary. He was always very punctual in picking us up in our hotel and he made it sure too that we maximize our time travelling in between each tourist spots that we would like to see. What touched us the most was when Eranga,arranged a surprise party for my son with the help of the owner of the guest house we were staying in Habarana.His kind and thoughtful gestures were worth more than just a 5 star review. We also dropped by to see his relatives on our way to Sigiriya which gave us the first hand experience of what an authentic Sri Lankan hospitality really feels like. And lastly, he knew exaclty where to take us for cheap local cuisines and he helped us to say no on our behalf when local vendors became too pushy selling their stuffs to us . I would definitely recommend SayLanka Tours to everyone because they had gone above and beyond in giving their services to us and I would like to help their business as well to thrive during this trying times in Sri Lanka .

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rent a private Car / Van with a Chauffeur in Sri Lanka: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colombo.
How much does Rent a private Car / Van with a Chauffeur in Sri Lanka cost?
+
Prices start at $934 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Colombo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rent a private Car / Van with a Chauffeur in Sri Lanka take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Colombo is not rushed.
Is Rent a private Car / Van with a Chauffeur in Sri Lanka worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Colombo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rent a private Car / Van with a Chauffeur in Sri Lanka?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rent a private Car / Van with a Chauffeur in Sri Lanka suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rent a private Car / Van with a Chauffeur in Sri Lanka?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Colombo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Colombo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rent a private Car / Van with a Chauffeur in Sri Lanka start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Colombo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Colombo?
+
On Outty we rank every Colombo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flexi dates on all 5 to 7 days packages for car and English speaking driver, Sri Lanka Personal Tour Driver in private vehicle, 08 Nights in Magical Sri Lanka. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Colombo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Colombo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
