Our airport pick up went very smoothly. Our driver was waiting with a sign with our name as we left the customs hall. He was very friendly, he drove carefully!
Highly recommend this company!

Great transport was waiting for us with a name plaque and got us to Colombo no problem. The car was a newer model and very clean with good AC.
Hargett_D, Jul 2026
Everything went smoothly, they were waiting for us at the Paging area with a clear sign with our name on it. Loaded our bags up and a smooth ride to our destination! Easily recommend for airport transfer to your hotel!

Our driver Lakmal was brilliant. He sent a WhatsApp message before our arrival, tracking our flight, waiting with the sign with our names and advised where to get SIM card. He drove carefully, the car was clean, had working air conditioning and we had a nice chat along the way. This was more expensive than uber but it was worth it and will book them again in future.

When I travel solo it’s nice to splurge and have the private car pick up… plus for me it gives me piece of mind when solo. Great driver and prompt pick up. Booked again for the airport return

Our driver was amazing! Greeted us with a big smile and chatted to us along the way. I asked for recommendations on Food and he was more than happy to share suggestions. Such a friendly driver, im glad he was ours!
Ally_C, Mar 2026
Our driver was so kind and helpful offering lots of tips for our travels, and information about Sri Lanka.
Kristina_K, Mar 2026
Highly recommend! Our driver Jude messaged me his location (WhatsApp) and had a big sign with my name on it waiting at baggage when I arrived! He offered to wait for us to use the restroom or go to the ATM if needed which I thought was really considerate. We felt very safe and comfortable during our ride with the AC on, and even got some fun facts about sites from Jude as well. He even stopped for us to take a picture of the tower! 10/10!

Good Driver and great value for money. We would definitely use this company again. Great communication with driver prior to pick up.

Everything was what you want in a transfer service.
Good communication before day of arrival to coordinate where to meet.
The driver, Lackmal, was waiting for me when i arrived.
Lackmal gave me time to use ATM at airport.
Car was clean and in good condition.
We drove safely to hotel.
Highly recommend Lackmal.

This is my second time using this company for an airport pickup. Once again, I have no complaints: I didn't have to wait, they arrived on time, and they sent me a picture of where they were standing once I was outside, making it easy to spot among other drivers.
MiriamePierreLouis, Feb 2026
This company has been excellent at picking me up. They communicated very well, and I didn't have to wait l. Soon after I walked out, my driver, Michael, was already there.
Angela_C, Jan 2026
Wonderful experience. Highly recommend. Our driver lakmal was so friendly and his English was excellent. He was waiting with excellent greeting signage so we were able to see him quickly. He gave us great tips on the area. He is a credit to the organisation. It was reasonably priced. He also
Offered to show us how to get money and eSIM which we already had but great for others and carried our bags.
Bronwyn_J, Jan 2026
Great pickup service. When we arrived, the driver sent a message through WhatsApp and he was clearly visible when we got to the arrivals area. Very professional service. Recommend hughly!
N_S, Dec 2025
Mr. Lakmal was wonderful. Right on time at the airport holding a sign with my name, which made everything so easy. He’s a very kind and respectful person, and I felt completely comfortable with him as a solo female traveler. He shared insights about Sri Lanka during the drive and made the ride to my hotel smooth and pleasant. Highly recommend!
Joseph_P, Nov 2025
I was incredibly pleased and relieved to see my driver front and center holding my name on a board after clearing customs
Annabelle_W, Nov 2025
Really lovely driver, was waiting in arrivals for me when I got there. Given I was on my own it was really nice to have the peace of mind that my transfer late at night was sorted
Ken_K, Aug 2025
Not recommended
Driver was late, didn’t or couldn’t read paperwork
Was not as meeting point. We needed help from another taxi pick up service to call driver
We had to wait 1/2 hour or more
Find another service, almost took another taxi when driver finally showed up
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Mr.Ken,
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
We understand how important punctuality and clear communication are, especially after a long journey. We have reviewed your booking and spoken to the driver involved to identify what went wrong. It appears there was a misunderstanding about the meeting point, which unfortunately led to the delay. We take full responsibility for this and have already taken steps to ensure our drivers are better briefed and in position ahead of time, with clearer signage and better contact procedures.
Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, and we will use it to improve our operations so future guests receive the seamless service we are known for. We hope you might consider giving us another chance to serve you in the future, and we would be happy to offer you a special discount should you travel with us again.
Safe travels,
Chathuranga Withanaarachchi

Had a wonderful half-day exploring Colombo by tuk tuk. My guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made each stop interesting – from colourful temples to lively markets and scenic viewpoints. The ride was comfortable, well-organised, and a fun way to see the city in a short time. Highly recommended!
Marie_C, Jul 2025
Perfect & reliable. Just what you need after an 8hr plane journey. I was so pleased to see my name being held up in the crowd of people!
Dominique_S, May 2025
He is on time and very friendly, contact via WhatsApp to reach each other. Save drive from airport to Sigiriya
Adam_G, Mar 2025
Lakmal is the best and only driver you should hire in Colombo. He was waiting promptly upon my flight arrival and provided all of the pickup details in advance. Lakmal was incredibly friendly and professional. He answered all of my (many) questions about the area and provided great local recommendations. I specifically requested Lakmal as my return driver and would recommend the same to anyone else looking for a safe, trustworthy ride.
James_S, Mar 2025
We had an amazing experience. Lakmal met us at arrivals and helped us carry our bags to his car, he drove us straight to our hotel and offered great advice for our stay which helped us a lot. I would definitely recommend this company.
Subhi_M, Feb 2025
My driver, Jude, was outstanding! He was there ahead of time and visible with my name in the crowd. He was polite and punctual. Nothing like getting off in an unknown country and feeling confident about being met at the airport. I would highly recommend this service.
Andrea_T, Jan 2025
Very easy and excellent pick up service from the airport in Colombo to the hotel! Would highly recommend this safe transportation option with a very kind driver.
Cecilia_A, Jan 2025
Our driver was waiting for us with a sign bearing my name as soon as we exited customs in Colombo. Pleasant ride to the hotel. Very convenient and hassle free.
Jennifer_F, Jan 2025
We arrived at the airport at 10pm. The driver was waiting and we had a pleasant safe drive to the hotel. We would use again.
Simon_S, Jan 2025
Lakmal was waiting with a board at the airport. He was helpful, professional and drove us safely to our hotel. A great reassuring start to our vacation.
Nick_C, Jan 2025
Great service and a good price. Would highly recommend this company to anyone arriving in Sri Lanka.
