Can I charge my phone inside a private taxi in Sri Lanka?

A lot of modern private taxis and dedicated tourist cars in Sri Lanka come with USB charging ports, or they have 12V adapters, so you can keep your phone charged while you’re on the move.

Even though charging options are fairly standard in tourist vans and newer sedans, it’s best to bring your own USB cable and also a portable power bank, just in case. That way, your devices remain powered during longer cross-country trips through less developed rural areas where you might want to stop for photos or rely on GPS guidance.
