Passenger Capacity Is Not the Same as Luggage Capacity

The maximum guest numbers shown on this website refer to the published passenger category.

They should not be used to assume how many suitcases or large bags will fit in a particular vehicle.

When requesting your quotation, tell us:

• Number of adults
• Number of children
• Number of large suitcases
• Hand luggage
• Any bulky items
• Child-seat requirements
• Whether a separate guide will travel with you

We can then consider the actual vehicle configuration required.

Family Vehicle Requests

If children are travelling with you, include their ages when sending your enquiry.

This helps us consider:

• Passenger configuration
• Luggage
• Child-seat requests
• Suitable vehicle category
• Overall group comfort

Child-seat availability and the exact arrangement should be confirmed before booking.

Do not select a smaller vehicle only according to the number of adults.

Private Car Or Suv?

Which Should You Choose?

Choose a Private Car if:

• You are travelling as a couple or smaller party
• You want a practical private vehicle
• Your luggage requirements suit the vehicle
• You prefer the lowest published vehicle category rate

Consider an SUV if:

• You prefer an SUV body style
• You have a particular model preference
• This category better suits your travel preference

An SUV should not automatically be assumed to have more luggage space, four-wheel drive or luxury specifications.

The actual vehicle should always be confirmed before booking.

Two Van Categories for Different Group Sizes

Family Van

Up to 5 guests

Published rates from:

USD 65/day

Small Group Van

Up to 9 guests

Published rates from:

USD 75/day

The best option depends on:

• Passenger numbers
• Children
• Luggage
• Tour duration
• Whether a guide travels separately
• Actual vehicle configuration

Private Sightseeing with Your Own Vehicle & Driver

All of our main vehicle categories can be considered for private day tours according to your group size and route.

Day tours can start from hotel areas such as:

• Ahungalla
• Balapitiya
• Bentota
• Hikkaduwa
• Galle
• Colombo
• Nearby agreed hotels

Choose a car, SUV, van or group vehicle according to your travelling party.

Keep the Right Vehicle for Your Journey

If you are travelling around Sri Lanka for several days, your vehicle becomes an important part of the journey.

Consider:

• Passenger numbers
• Luggage
• Number of travel days
• Daily driving
• Hotel changes
• Child requirements
• Guide requirements
• Preferred vehicle type

Our daily rates reduce for longer hire periods.

Private Transfer Vehicle Options

Cars, SUVs, vans, coaches and luxury vehicles can also be requested for point-to-point transfers.

Transfer vehicle selection should consider both:

Passengers + luggage

rather than passenger numbers alone.

Transfer prices are quoted separately from multi-day driver-hire rates.

Vehicles For Chauffeur-guided Tours

Driver or Chauffeur Guide?

The vehicle category and guiding service are two separate choices.

You may request:

Private vehicle + driver

or

Private vehicle + chauffeur guide

If a separate guide will travel with your group, this must also be considered when deciding the appropriate seating configuration.

Three Duration-Based Rate Bands

Our standard published vehicle-and-driver rates use three hire durations:

1 to 4 Days

Short-hire pricing.

5 to 11 Days

Reduced daily pricing.

12+ Days

Our lowest published daily rates.

A peak-season supplement applies during the applicable peak travel period.

Full mileage rules, multi-day package prices and other pricing information are available on the Rates & Packages page.

Peak-season Supplement

For travel during the applicable peak season:

+ USD 10 per vehicle per applicable day

Peak-season period:

20 December to 10 January

The supplement is per vehicle, not per passenger.

The applicable amount will be shown in your written quotation.

How Vehicle Requests Work

Where vehicle models or brands are displayed on this website, they indicate available preferences or categories for enquiry.

They should not be treated as a guarantee that:

• A specific model is always available
• Every vehicle has identical specifications
• Every model has the same luggage capacity
• Every vehicle has the same features
• A vehicle shown in a photograph will always be the exact vehicle supplied

Your quotation and booking arrangements should confirm the relevant vehicle category, requested preference and availability.
