Transfers from Bandaranaike International Airport
Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) at Katunayake, north of Colombo, is where most visitors to Sri Lanka land. From arrivals it is around an hour to Colombo, two and a half hours to Galle, three and a half to Kandy, and three and a half to four to Hambantota and the south — by private car, with the expressways doing much of the work.
Flights land at every hour of the day and night, so we track yours rather than rely on the booking. Your driver waits in arrivals with a sign bearing your name, helps with your luggage and walks you to the car — and if you land late, they wait.
- We track your flight
Send us the flight number when you book. If you land late, the driver is still there — the wait costs you nothing extra.
- Meet & greet in arrivals
Your driver is waiting with your name on a sign, helps with the luggage and walks you to the car.
- One price for the whole vehicle
Agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, with fuel, the driver, tolls and parking in it. Four of you pay what one of you would.

Drive times are door-to-door estimates on real Sri Lankan roads, and vary with traffic and stops. Every quote is for the whole vehicle.
Arriving at Bandaranaike
Once you are through immigration, baggage claim and customs, your driver is waiting in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign. When you book, we send you the driver's name and phone number, so if you can't spot each other you can call or message straight away.
The long drives from the airport use the expressways — the Colombo–Katunayake Expressway past Colombo, then the Southern Expressway towards Galle, Matara and Hambantota — and the tolls are included in the price we quote.
Flying Home from Bandaranaike
We drive the other way too. We work the pick-up time back from your departure, with margin for traffic and check-in — for an early-morning flight from the south that usually means leaving during the night, which is routine for us.
