What’s included when hiring a private driver in Sri Lanka?

Ravana Tour Specialist July 28, 2026

A standard private driver package includes the vehicle, fuel, the driver’s services, vehicle insurance, and all government taxes that apply.

While the core bits are fairly standard, there can be differences when it comes to extra expenses. More comprehensive plans may also fold in the driver’s meals and lodging, the highway tolls, and the cost of parking fees. Always ask for a full itemised breakdown before you book, just to make sure there aren’t any unexpected charges during the journey.
