What's included in the EUR 105 transfer price?

The price covers a private, air-conditioned vehicle and professional driver for the entire 4-hour journey from Colombo to your Sigiriya hotel. Fuel, tolls, and parking are included. Meals, attractions, and gratuities are not.

Can the driver pick me up from Bandaranaike International Airport?

Yes. Airport pickup is standard. Provide your flight number and arrival time when booking, and the driver will meet you at your terminal with a nameplate.

How many passengers can travel in one vehicle?

The private vehicle accommodates up to 4 passengers comfortably. Larger groups require multiple vehicle bookings.

Is the route scenic, or mostly highway driving?

The route transitions from coastal plains around Colombo into Sri Lanka's central highlands, offering views of tea plantations and hill country. Most of the journey is on main highways; it's functional rather than a sightseeing tour.

What if my flight is delayed or I arrive very late at night?

Confirm your actual arrival time as soon as possible. The driver monitors flight status; late-night arrivals (after 23:00) may incur additional charges depending on the supplier's policy. Discuss with customer support when you book.

Can the driver take me to attractions on the way to Sigiriya?

The base transfer covers direct hotel drop-off only. Stops at tea plantations, waterfalls, or other sites can be arranged directly with your driver, usually for an additional hourly fee.
