Are there distance caps per day when travelling with a private chauffeur?

Most travel agencies end up imposing a typical daily mileage cap of 100 to 150 kilometres within the standard tour packages. If you go beyond the cumulative mileage threshold for the whole trip, the additional per-kilometre surcharge normally kicks in.

Because the driving conditions in Sri Lanka can feel unusually slow, with single-lane stretches and steep mountain terrain, mileage limits are kept strict to prevent fatigue and to safeguard passenger welfare too. If your plan includes lots of movement, like going directly from Jaffna to Galle, agencies will map the entire route and set the trip price in advance, so there aren’t any sneaky extra charges later.
