  • 4/5 Rob Glanville (Dancing P. 2 years ago on Google
    We would have rated this place a 5, but had a bad interaction at the end. Overall easy process and paperwork- they made the drivers license for us- through the proper channels of course. Good price. The car worked well- it was quite a bit beaten up visually, but that didn't bother us. We paid the $150 USD deposit on our credit card but at the end got the money back in rupies. During that month the worth of the rupie dropped considerably and they would not put the money back on the credit card siting that it was against the law. So they gave us back the right amount of rupies in cash but we were leaving and exchanging them lost half of the money. Recommendation is still to rent through these folks but give them USD deposit and put it in writing that they will return to you the USD cash upon return of car. Hope this helps.

    We rented a car with this company and the truth is that we had a very good experience. We have met other tourists with worse cars who have paid much more than us. They have always been available via WhatsApp if we had any questions. In addition, they processed our license to be able to drive in Sri Lanka, so they saved us a lot of paperwork and long hours in line. The service has been fast in the delivery of the vehicle and in the collection. If you are looking for quality/price, don't think about it!

    Car was new and in very good condition. We were delighted as Ameri Rent A car was very much within our budgets. It was an automatic car hence it was easy to drive. Best part was that we got the car at the airport at 4 AM in the morning with all paperwork and license. The process of pick up and drop was smooth and hassle free. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and roads are in very good condition. Driving around and stopping where ever we wished made our trip more memorable. We were able to cover 7 different locations in 10 days, all because of having a personal vehicle. I strongly recommend everyone to go for self drive car while exploring Sri Lanka; and Ameri Rent A car is the best in service and support. Wish you all the best guys. Keep doing the good work. Cheers !!

  • 5/5 Sarbadipta D. 6 years ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Had a very good experience renting car from this agency. The road trip around Sri Lanka was the highlight of our week long holiday and made possible by Ameri. Communication was through emails with prompt responses to all queries regarding rates, availability and even the model year of the car in question (Toyota Rav4). Quite flexible in terms of drop off and pick up times (Their representatives were available at the Airport at 6:00 am and 9:00 pm resp for pick up and drop off). Special thanks to Ms Devika who kept in touch through whatsapp and accommodated late requests. This is very important as road trips tend to not follow pre-planned itineraries :-) One area which they can look into is providing unlimited mileage package . It will help those who want to tour this beautiful island nation without any constraints. Highly recommended and keep up the good service.

  • 5/5 AnnAndrei L. 5 years ago on Google
    The best service and definitely the most reliable company to rent a vehicle in Sri Lanka. I am so happy I have decided to drive myself through this beautiful country as I had the time and the comfort to stop whenever and wherever I wanted and all these thanks to Ameri rent a car. I have used the vehicle for 2 weeks with no issues whatsoever at a more than affordable cost. I will definitely recommend this company to absolutely everyone!!

    Hired a car from Ameri for a whole month. Drove over 2000kms around Sri Lanka and didn't have any problems. The car had about 75K on the odometer and apart from some very minor cosmetic scratches, everything was in good condition. Picking up and drop-off of the car also went smoothly. I'm happy with their service and will use them again.

  • 5/5 Mayooran T. 6 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    I habe rented an SUV for 8 days, everything went very well. I got help on getting the local license and all permits. Car was picked up at the end as well! Very good service, would recommend it. Only small negative point is, that the deposit need to be paid in real, and not just blocking the credit card, which means I had at the last day around 150thousand LKR in cash.

    Excellent car rent. Honest and reliable. Unbeatable price. Car was circa 15 years old but was driving fine. No problems at the steep roads in the up country. Hassel-free return.

  • 5/5 Sathyawadi R. 8 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    I hired a Perodua Bezza from Ameri rent a car for 40 days. Since this was my 1st time dealing with them, I had some reservations but from the intial contact to the final hand over after the rental it was very professionally handled by Rinzie. I am really happy with my experience in using their service and intended to use them on my next visit to Srilanka.

    We rented a car for 10 days and have to say these guys were great. They managed to source us a fabulous SUV at the last minute and did so far two thirds of the price of the only other company who could supply a car. (it was a last minute booking) they were super friendly and helpful and I would definitely use them to again.

  • 5/5 Shazia F. 10 years ago on Google
    My family and I travel to Sri Lanka frequently and Ameri Rent a Car is our service provider of choice because they are professional, efficient and most importantly always reliable. We have found that while several other companies that we have used before have failed to meet our expectations, Ameri Rent a Car has never failed to deliver. We are extremely pleased that all the cars we have rented have suited our budget, been in good condition and the convenient location is an added bonus. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone and can guarantee a positive experience:).

    I found this company helpful and easy to work with when initially booking the car. Everything was explained in detail and they took care of getting our license endorsements sorted. The car was delivered to us at the Airport without too much of a problem. Very Friendly staff, I would definitely recommend them! They made my trip to Sri Lanka go very smoothly.

    Initially, we hired a car for a week and we mentioned that we would be travelling to Jaffna, all the way to the north. They provided us with a Peroda Bezza 2019 model, a week later we decided to renew the car for a month and they were able to switch things up to accommodate us. We are really grateful for your services and will definitely hire from you guys again. Special thanks to Rinzie and Nishanth for a 5 star service. I have hired cars from many companies in Sri Lanka over the years and highly recommend Ameri over all the other rentals for their immaculate cars and friendly service.

  • 5/5 Aleksandra A. 4 years ago on Google
    I rented a car for a period of almost two weeks and would recommend the company 100%! The vehicle itself was new and in perfect condition. All my questions were quickly answered by e-mail and the staff of Ameri arranged my tourist driving licence before the arrival, so we were ready to go shortly after having collected the car. Also, they offer a competitive price.

  • 1/5 Dayal G. 9 months ago on Google
    I had an unsatisfactory experience with the Kia Sorento SUV (Red) that I rented from Ameri Rent A Car (May~June 2023 - Close to one month). Although the overall condition of the vehicle was not bad, I felt that it did not live up to the price I paid for it. Here are the reasons for my dissatisfaction: 1. Deal was email me for a Kia Sorrento 2018/19 model, but received a 2012 model instead. 2. One of the tires was worn out, and I had to argue with the company manager to get it replaced. This ordeal took up half of my day, which was quite inconvenient. 3. The air conditioning was in poor condition, requiring me to set it at 18°C just to achieve a minimal level of comfort. When I requested for it to be fixed, the company asked me to visit their air conditioning repair station. Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule, I couldn't spare the time to go there, resulting in further inconvenience. 4. During our trip to Trincomalee - Thiriyai Temple, the vehicle's battery died. Although we managed to overcome this situation, upon inspecting the battery, we discovered that it was weak and needed replacement. In light of these issues, I strongly feel that Ameri Rent A Car should assume greater responsibility when providing vehicle rentals to their customers. It would have been more fitting for them to thoroughly inspect and ensure the proper working condition of the vehicle before handing it over to renters. By doing so, they could have avoided the inconveniences and frustrations that arise from encountering problems during the rental period. I kindly advise all individuals to exercise extra caution when considering Ameri Rent A Car for their vehicle rental needs. It is essential to be aware of the potential issues that may arise based on my experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Scammers!!! I’ve got the estimate price for rental, when I asked for upfront payment link nobody responded. After two days I’ve asked again and they sad that car is not available any more… then I’ve got another email saying that car is available but over 100usd more than before. I’ve called them and lady told me that they changed the rates but they’re website has the same rates up to date (happened two days ago) lady said she’ll call me back with same kind of deal I guess but never called again and don’t answer my calls (we are without the car for our stay because of them) SCUMMERS!!!
