Does a Sri Lankan private driver sleep in the car?

No, a professional Sri Lankan private driver does not usually sleep in the car. Most tourist-friendly hotels and guesthouses around the island give their drivers proper driver’s quarters and meals, free of charge. When you book a multi-day tour, the driver’s accommodation is built into the overall service. In a few situations, a boutique hotel or distant eco lodge may not have driver facilities; in that case, your agency or the driver will arrange a separate place to stay nearby. You are not expected to cover their room or meals from your pocket, unless your contract clearly says so.
