Does the fee for a car and driver in Sri Lanka include fuel?

Ravana Tour Specialist June 1, 2026

Yes, most standard car and driver bundles in Sri Lanka include fuel, plus tolls, parking fees, and even driver accommodation. When booking a private driver for a multi-day route, travel agencies usually quote an all-inclusive daily fee. That said, you should always double-check the agreement wording before you confirm anything, because some budget providers advertise a cheaper base rate but then charge additional fuel costs based on distance travelled. To avoid unexpected expenses, ask for a clear written contract that says petrol, insurance, and every driver-related cost are fully covered in the price they quote.
