Bandaranaike International Airport, Katunayake
Colombo Airport (CMB) transfers
Fixed prices per car from CMB to every popular destination. The driver meets you outside arrivals with a name sign, tracks your flight and waits 60 minutes after landing at no charge — day or night.
Every trip is driven by a vetted local partner in Sri Lanka. Your confirmation names the driver, the car and its plate; on chauffeur-guide bookings also the SLTDA licence number.

How the pickup works
Send your flight number when you book. After immigration, baggage and customs, walk out of the arrivals hall: the driver stands at the exit with your name. If the flight is delayed, we see it — waiting starts from the actual landing.
Money exchange, ATMs and SIM card counters are in the arrivals area before the exit; the driver waits while you sort them out.
Which expressways and how long
The airport is on the Colombo–Katunayake Expressway (E03). Southbound trips (Bentota, Hikkaduwa, Galle, Mirissa) use the Outer Circular Highway (E02) and the Southern Expressway (E01); Sigiriya trips use the open Mirigama–Kurunegala section of the Central Expressway (E04); Kandy is usually reached on the A1 via Kegalle. All tolls are included in our prices — for a car about Rs 300 airport–Colombo on the E03 and Rs 475 Kottawa–Galle on the E01 (Rs 700 to Matara), per published 2026 rates.
Questions
Is there a night surcharge?
No. Many flights to Colombo land between midnight and 6 am; the price is the same.
What if I have a lot of luggage or surfboards?
A sedan fits 3 people with 3 large suitcases. For surfboards, golf bags or more luggage choose the KDH minivan (roof rack on request).
Can I pay in euros or by card?
Drivers take rupees or US dollars in cash. If you need to pay by card, ask for a payment link when you book.
