Answers, without the hedging.

If you hold a Sri Lankan licence, yes. A foreign licence has to be recognised locally before you drive, which is a short administrative process rather than a test. Tell us which country issued your licence when you send a request and we will confirm exactly what is needed, what it costs and how long it takes. We can start it for you.

Twenty-one, with at least a year of driving behind you. For the four-wheel drives and the van we ask for a little more experience, and we will say so when you enquire.

Yes, as long as we know who and they meet the same requirements. Add them when you send the request. An unnamed driver is not covered by the insurance, which is the whole reason we ask.

The expressways are straightforward. Everywhere else expects you to give way constantly, to buses above all. If it is your first time driving in Sri Lanka, a driver for the first day or two is usually money well spent.

Self-drive starts at LKR 6,500 a day for the Suzuki Alto. Every rate for every car is on the rates page, and it falls the longer you keep the car.

LKR 25,000, held against damage and traffic fines. It is a hold, not a charge, and it is returned when the car comes back in the condition it left in.

You collect the car full and return it full. We do not mark fuel up and we do not add a refuelling fee if you bring it back as you found it.

Each car includes a daily allowance, shown on its own page, and the cost of an extra kilometre is shown next to it. Neither figure is hidden and neither changes after you book.

Cash, bank transfer or card. We confirm the amount in writing before you collect the car, and nothing is taken from this website.

No. There is no login on this site. You send a request, we reply, and that is the whole system.

Tell us as early as you can and we will do what we can. The exact notice period and any charge are set out in the terms of hire, and we will restate them in the reply that confirms your booking.

In December, January and over the April new year, as early as you can. The rest of the year a few days is usually enough, and we can often do same-day.

Yes. Give us the flight number and we will be there when you land, including outside office hours. The delivery charge is quoted with your rate.

Usually, for a one-way charge that depends on where. Ask when you send the request and we will price it.

Call us. Roadside cover runs for the whole hire and is already in the rate. If the car cannot be fixed where it stands, we get you another one.

Yes. Say the age of the child in the request so we fit the right one.
