Häufige Fragen

Ist Ihre Frage nicht dabei? Fragen Sie einfach — wir antworten innerhalb eines Tages per E-Mail und WhatsApp.

Is the airport-to-Kandy road difficult at night?

It's a well-travelled route with several late flight arrivals, and our drivers do it regularly after dark.

Is this a taxi or a private transfer?

It's a private, chauffeur-driven car or van booked in advance at a fixed price — not a metered taxi hailed on the street.

Is the price really fixed?

Yes — the price shown is the total for the vehicle, agreed before you travel. There's no meter and no surge pricing.

What's included in the price?

The driver, the vehicle, air conditioning, bottled water and Wi-Fi — the same as our day-hire cars and vans.

What if our flight is delayed?

Let us know your updated arrival time as soon as you have it and we'll adjust the pickup — there's no extra charge for a late landing.
