Are airport transfer services available at night in Sri Lanka?

Yes, airport transfer services run 24 hours a day at Colombo Airport, and that matches the pattern of late-night and early-morning flights. The official airport taxi counters in the arrival hall stay open the whole time, even when it is quite late.

If you are going long distance (for instance, to Galle or Kandy) in the middle of the night, arranging a private transfer ahead of time is the safer choice, and it also feels more dependable than trying to spot a car on the spot. Ride-hailing apps like Uber and PickMe work 24/7 as well, but driver availability can be a bit thinner between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM.
