One trusted driver,
your whole trip
Private Driver Tours Sri Lanka is a marketplace connecting travellers with professional, government-licensed private drivers. Browse real driver profiles, compare itineraries and prices, then book directly — one trusted person from airport pickup to farewell wave.
We're not a taxi app or a faceless agency. Every driver is personally vetted, background-checked and fluent in English, with years of experience showing guests the island's temples, tea country, beaches and wildlife. One honest all-inclusive price, no commissions, no hidden extras — just the kind of local knowledge no guidebook prints.
The house rules
No commissions, ever
Our drivers never steer you to shops or restaurants for kickbacks. If a driver breaks this rule once, he's out. It's rule one for a reason.
The price is the price
The quote you accept is what you pay. Fuel spikes, route changes, 3am pickups — our problem, not yours.
Drivers are family
Fair pay, proper rest days, and their own rooms on tour. Happy drivers make happy trips — it's not complicated.
What makes you different from a tour operator or travel agency?
We're a marketplace, not a middleman. You browse real driver profiles, read actual guest reviews, and book the driver you want directly. One dedicated driver for your whole trip, one all-inclusive price — no agency markup, no bait-and-switch.
Is it safe to drive around Sri Lanka?
With a professional it's the best way to see the island. Our drivers average 12 years' experience, vehicles carry full tourist-transport insurance, and our office tracks every trip.
How far in advance should we book?
For December–March (peak season), 2–3 months ahead gets you first pick of drivers. Off-season, even a week's notice usually works.
Do you arrange hotels too?
We recommend and can book on your behalf at no markup — or you book your own and we simply drive. Most guests do a mix.
What about tipping?
Never expected, always appreciated. Guests who are delighted typically tip $5–10 per day at the end of the trip — entirely your call.
Can we contact past guests?
Yes — beyond our public reviews, we can connect you with recent guests from your country who've agreed to be references. Just ask.
