Will my private driver wait while I visit attractions in Sri Lanka?

Yes, your private driver will be there in the car, or nearby at a marked parking spot, while you wander around attractions, eat, or pick up things to take home. Waiting time is a normal practice, and it is already worked into your daily hiring rate.

Drivers are used to waiting for quite a few hours at big places like Sigiriya Rock or Yala National Park. Just make sure your items stay safe, keep them secured in the locked vehicle, and before you step out, confirm a precise meeting spot plus an estimated return time with your driver.
