Can I hire a driver directly from Colombo Airport?

Yes, you can hire a driver straight from the official taxi and transport counters placed in the arrivals hall of Colombo Airport.

The airport runs several registered transport desks that offer fixed-price cabs and private drivers, for quick transfers and also multi-day trips. However, when you book on arrival, it reduces your ability to check the exact driver beforehand, and it may lead to a slightly higher fare than what you would see if you pre-book online.
