Uber is available in major cities like Colombo, Kandy and Galle. These are highly recommended for tourists.
Tip: Tuk-Tuks (3-wheelers) are an essential part of the Sri Lankan experience for short journeys (under an hour) within towns and cities, and navigating heavy traffic or narrow roads. App based rides are generally cheaper than flagging down an unmetered local tuk-tuk as they avoid price haggling!

An official airport taxi to Colombo typically costs approximately £12 (LKR 4,500) and the journey takes around 40 minutes. Please note that there may be an additional highway toll fee, generally ranging between LKR 300–500, depending on the distance travelled along the expressway. While this toll is usually included in the taxi fare, it is advisable to confirm this in advance. Should you need to pay the toll separately, be sure to carry sufficient Sri Lankan Rupees, as debit and credit cards are not accepted at the toll booths.
