Frequently asked questions

Can I book a one‑way transfer instead of a multi‑day tour?

Yes—one‑way transfers are available (typical 50 km options) and longer multi‑day mileage packages can be purchased for extended itineraries.

Are fuel, parking and tolls included?

Fuel, parking, tolls and taxes are included in the stated package; entrance fees, meals and hotel costs are not included unless specified.

Do drivers wait for delayed flights?

Yes—the service monitors flight arrivals and drivers wait for delayed flights with no extra charge within the agreed pickup terms; confirm specifics on long delays.

Is pickup available from northern Sri Lanka?

No—this operator currently does not provide pickups from locations in the northern areas, so plan pickups from Colombo or other supported regions.
