    We recently visited Sri Lanka and spent 8 days there. Ranjith was our driver the whole time we were there and we had a great experience traveling with him around this beautiful country! He was always on time, an excellent driver (and photographer), and took us to see many hidden places we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Ranjith was very accommodating, very respectful, his car was very clean, in great condition and he made us feel very safe. He knows his country very well and was always eager to share with us fun facts. I found this company in Google and contacted them via email. Communication was great and they made it very easy to plan our trip.

    Had a great tour of SriLanka thanks to the cab arranged for us by Mr Mahesh Ranasinghe. The driver Rohan was also friendly. All rates and inclusions were as promised as in the initial quotation shared. And we did not have to pay any money upfront as well. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend. Just a couple of small suggestions to improve the service further: 1. It would be great to have confirmed driver details at least 3-4 days ahead of trip for international passengers. Otherwise there is always a persistent anxiety as the entire trip depends on traveling via cab in srilanka. 2. For international passengers, it would be really nice to have drivers who can understand English to some extent. Otherwise it gets very hard to communicate during the trip.

    We found Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent through trip advisor. They had great reviews, thus we decided to go with them. From planning to execution everything went absolutely great. Everything turned out to be as promised. We were welcome at Colombo airport and spent 9 days with our perfect driver Mr. Nihal. He is not only a humble person but also very mature and easy going. He was always kind and accomodated all our needs. We were two and thus a Nissan sedan car was allocted to us. The car was clean and in very good condition. Since our hotels did not provide accomodation for our driver we paid an additional 8$ per day for this. Overall, this company is a great one to get your trip organized in Sri Lanka. Do not hesitate to hire their services.

    We have just returned from an amazing trip around Sri Lanka. I was already interested in the offer from the Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent company while planning the trip. The meeting with the coordinator Mr. Nihal Vijayananda was very friendly. He arranged Safari trips and train rides for us. The driver, Mr. Jayantha, was waiting for us at the airport, who was an excellent companion throughout the journey and took very good care of us. He also provided us with trips that we did not have in the itinerary. With this, I would like to highly recommend the company, the coordinator and the driver, and thanks to them we will have good memories of wonderful Sri Lanka

    A wonderful experience We went to Sri Lanka in March 2022 for a 12 days trip. For us, it was the first time we discovered a country with a driver…and what an amazing experience! The communication with the company was very smooth before and during the journey. They provided use a lot of advices and we adapted our trip accordingly. The best part we owe it to our driver, Nihal. During all the journey, we had the opportunity to encounter the culture of this great country, discover unexpected places. We stopped in some very nice and local restaurants, and his behaviour was a real pleasure. We discussed a lot about traditions, religions and many other stuffs. He always adapted to our needs of silence or sharing. The agency organized for us the 2 safaris, in Udawalawe and in Bundala. The selected drivers were very professional and highly skilled. It was relaxing, comfortable and we have seen a lot of wildlife, elephants, crocodiles, birds (eagles, herons, kingfishers etc…), monkeys, ground monitor, turtles (on the beach of course) and can you imagine that our guy in Udawalawe, found a small chameleon in the middle of this huge national parc (32 000 ha). Thanks a lot, Nihal, for this amazing experience. You made our trip different and much more enjoyable.

    Amazing experience with Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent. Nice spacious Toyota van of international standards and clean condition. Mr. Ananda, the manager was very professional and super responsive to all our queries and requests. Super happy with our driver Mr. Ranjith who is a star. Ranjith is an extremely professional and safe driver. Always punctual, accommodating and follows the road rules strictly. Our family felt very safe traveling with him for 10 days all over Sri Lanka. Highly recommended

    I traveled across Srilanka with SLDCR in September 2022 last week for one week, I must say this has been an amazing experience for me. I discussed everything on mail with Mr ananda and they provided all the required services promised over emails. The car was waiting for me at airport and dropped me back at perfect time. Mr Ranjith Who was our guide and driver throughout the trip was very warm and welcoming in nature. He showed us best of srilanka and took us to some hidden gem places to see. He was very knowledgeable and kind in nature, we could trust him anything. he was always punctual and very safe driver. I surely recommend this company for your trip in srilanka.

    Family of 4 from the UK. We booked our tour of Srilanka with SL driver car rent. Just found them on the Internet. They gave us an amazing tour. They said all we had to do was leave everything to them and just concentrate on enjoying our tour. Very pleased to say that is exactly what they did. Their driver Mr Jayantha was an excellent driver/guide. Stopped in all the right places. Made sure the children enjoyed and we had comfort stops when required. They are a true professional company who I would not hesitate to recommend to anybody travelling to srilanka.

    We experienced Sri Lanka with THE BEST travel partner I had planned Sri Lanka trip with my wife for our first anniversary celebration. While doing bookings i was looking out for many trustworthy car rentals companies online who will help us to explore Sri Lanka. After doing a lot of research and talking with many options we booked Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent since their review we good and while everyone was asking for 80% advanced they said that you come to Sri Lanka, explore our country and pay in between and on the last day of our trip. This gained our trust in the company even more that they think about their guest and not just about doing business. Our tour guide, Nihal Sir, was one of the most generous person. He made us a feel like a family and not just tourists. He is a very jolly person and we had great conversations during our trip. He even made sure that the car is sanitized and clean during coronavirus situation. He even took us to the best restaurants and markets which were less crowded and made sure to guide us well. Now that our trip is over we think that no one else would have shown us beautiful Sri Lanka besides Nihal Sir. We strongly recommend Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent for a hassle free and amazing experience to explore Sri Lanka. Hats off to Nihal Sir and the team. Love from India. Prasad Gudhate.

    We did our trip for 14 days with Mr Nihal as our driver and we could not be more satisfied, a super polite and respectful person, who speaks at the right moments without being boring. A careful driver and we always felt safe with him. The car was always immaculately clean. All his suggestions (restaurants and places to visit) were a pleasant surprise, he was also very flexible to our wishes. We really have nothing negative to say.

    Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent was one of the most significant highlight of our Sri Lanka Trip. We were visiting during the new year when the tourist season was at its peak and most of the car operators were either fully booked or quoting exorbitant prices. In this scenario, not only did the tour company arranged a wonderful bus but also provided reasonable rates. The communication and support from the company is really impressive. When we reached Colombo, our vehicle was well on time with a super friendly driver and our partner for the tour--Mr Buddhika. Both of them were really cheerful, helpful and professional. They were happy to accommodate all our requests--whether to stop for a sip of coconut water or to take detailed pics of an elephant spotted in a jungle. We had the best 10 days with them. The vehicle was immaculately cleaned everyday. Overall, great service. I would highly recommend to anyone planning to visit Sri Lanka.

    We had really great trip around Sri Lanka with our driver Ranjith, who has always been very kind and super helpful to us in every situation. Ranjith has top driving skills so we have always felt absolutely safe with him. He also recommended a lot of great things to see in Sri Lanka on our tour that we would otherwise miss without his guidance. The tour with him was a great experience we will not forget. Also communication with the Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent company was super easy, fast and straightforward. We definitely do recommend this company if you are looking for your private driver on your tour across Sri Lanka. :-)

    A very pleasant experience round through the trip. Our tourist driver was Nihal. He was very prompt and very friendly in whether it be suggesting any places, helping us with required services for PCR test and showing up to pick us up at all points. The company also was very proactive in email communications to find out our itinerary and providing elaborate suggestions what we could do for the planned days. Overall I would suggest this company to anyone travelling to srilanka.

  • 5/5 Anjit B. 4 years ago on Google
    The service provided was impeccable. Great communication, very nice vehicle and an outstanding driver. Ranjith was always available, courteous and smiling. He went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable and happy. He was a very safe driver and our safety was his primary concern. Will use the same service for our next visit too.

    We spent only 5 days in Sri Lanka, but with Nihal as our driver we were able to experience the best parts of this beautiful country. From the moment we were met by Nihal at the airport until he brought us back we felt so very comfortable and safe with him. He is an excellent driver and he made sure that we could get the maximum out of 5 days. His English is perfect and he gave us very interesting insight into the culture of Sri Lanka. We drove many hours every day in order to reach all the wonderful places and he looked after us so well with many interesting stops in between. We have learned so much from him firsthand, he was the perfect tour guide! We will recommend Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent to our friends and make sure they get Nihal as a driver! Best experience of our holiday!

  • 5/5 HW M. 5 years ago on Google
    I am totally grateful that even I wanted to visit many popular tourist spots and experience the country in merely 7 days, my driver Nihal not only made it possible, but also suggested additional places to visit and with good timing. For example, we visited the Tooth Relic Temple in Kandy around 6PM, as there was a ceremony and some part of the temple was open for visitors only in the evening. Nihal knew I was interested in Buddhism, so even we had to catch the flight on the last day of our trip, he still brought me to Mihintale on our way to Anuradhapura, because of its historical importance on the introduction of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. I should mention that he had to drive many hours each day to accommodate my tight schedule, and often he might not even have enough rest at night, and had to sacrifice his time with family during new year, however he was still gentle and spirited every minute. We talked a lot in the car, and I learned so much from him about the history, culture and society in Sri Lanka, so indeed I also had an exceptional travel companion for the whole trip!

    Highly recommend this travel company if you want to discover Sri Lanka. Everything was perfectly organized . I received an email with links to videos as inspiration of what to go and see. I could then choose the activities/sightseeing locations according to my preferences and they would together a tailor-made iterinary just for me. Visited Sri Lanka for 6 days and I was able to see so many things: Sigiriya Rock, Horton Plains, Yala Nationalpark, Little Adams Peak, Nine Arches Bridge, Ramboda Falls etc. I went hiking, snorkling with sea turtles, diving, and elephant riding. Visited a wood carving factory, the stilt fishing, and a sea turtle hatchery. Tipp: don't do the train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella unless you want to stand almost 3 hours squished. The train is full of tourists... :-(. My driver Nihal was very friendly and helpful. He was also flexibel whenever I wanted to go and see something which was not in the initial travel plans. He organized many activities spontaneously by calling them the day before. Even as a solo traveler I always felt safe. Thanks to Nihal and Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent I was able to spend unforgettable and fantastic vacations in Sri Lanka. Thank you!

    Creditable Car Renting Service at Sri Lanka Our family have the most pleasant 5 days trip at Sri Lanka end of last December. We came across Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent through Tripadvisor. The prompt response from the Travel Coordinator Mr. Ananda with full package details was impressive. After scrutinizing the package with all the details given, I found the quotation was totally reasonable and I was pleased to accept the offer without hesitation. We had an utmost enjoyable and hassle free 5 days trip as Sri Lanka Driver Car Rent had delivered their promise accordingly. A very clean and comfortable van in superb condition, a very professional english speaking driver cum tour guide (no restriction on driving time and hours), totally no hidden charges, no argument, we could just totally sit back and relax, enjoying our entire trip. We would also like to express our gratitude to our driver cum tour guide Mr. Dileepa (Dilip) for his responsible and professional service.
