Hotel to Colombo airport drop-offs
Flying home? We pick you up from your hotel anywhere in Sri Lanka and drive you to the airport for the same fixed price as a pickup. We plan the pickup time around your flight, so you reach the airport about 3 hours before departure.
Night flights
Landing late at night?
Many flights reach Colombo between midnight and dawn. Our drivers meet flights at any hour, and your driver waits even if you're delayed. If you land after midnight, a first night in Negombo, 20 minutes away, lets you start the longer drives fresh.

Airport pickup questions
How do I find my driver at Colombo airport?
After customs, walk out into the arrivals hall. Your driver will be waiting with a name board showing your name. We send you your driver's name and WhatsApp number before you fly.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight, so your driver is there when you land. Delays cost you nothing.
My flight lands in the middle of the night. Is that OK?
Yes. Many flights land late at night or before dawn, and our drivers meet flights at any hour. If you land after midnight, a first night in Negombo, 20 minutes away, lets you start the longer drives fresh.
Is the price per person?
No. Prices are per vehicle, one way: a car for up to 3 guests or a van for up to 9.
How do I pay?
No payment is needed to book. You pay your driver on the day, in cash (US dollars, euros or Sri Lankan rupees).
Is Katunayake airport the same as Colombo airport?
Yes. Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) is in Katunayake, about 30 km north of Colombo. It's Sri Lanka's main international airport, and most people simply call it Colombo airport.
How early should we leave for the airport when flying home?
Plan to reach the airport about 3 hours before an international flight. We work out your pickup time from the distance and the traffic, so you don't have to.
Can you take us back to the airport?
Yes. We drive the same routes to the airport for the same price. Tell us your flight time and we'll plan your pickup with plenty of time to spare.
