Choosing between a transfer and a rental
A transfer is the easier choice after a long flight or when you arrive at night. If you want to drive yourself, see how to rent a car at Colombo airport. For a full guide to routes and times see airport transfers from Colombo airport.
What to send us
For an arrival send the flight number, the date, the number of passengers and bags, the hotel name and address, and a phone or WhatsApp number that will work on arrival. For a departure send the flight time and the pickup address, and we confirm the pickup time. Airport service is available 24 hours.
