Tourist vehicle-rental questions
Who can use this vehicle-rental service?
This page is designed for international tourists visiting Sri Lanka who want a private air-conditioned vehicle with a professional chauffeur.
What rental types are available?
The service offers city-to-city travel and fixed 4-hour or 8-hour tourist rental packages. Other transport services are not booked from this page.
Does the displayed price include a driver?
Yes. The standard rate structure includes the vehicle, professional chauffeur and fuel within the listed included distance. The written quote confirms every inclusion.
How is a city-to-city price calculated?
Each category has a minimum fare covering the listed kilometres. Distance beyond that allowance is charged using the published additional-kilometre rate.
How do hourly packages work?
Choose the 4-hour or 8-hour package for your vehicle category. The page lists the included kilometres plus the rate for any additional hour or kilometre.
Are highway tolls and parking included?
They are excluded from the standard rates unless the written quote explicitly says otherwise. The team identifies expected extras before you confirm.
Can I request a child seat or extra luggage space?
Yes. Add the request before booking so the team can confirm availability and recommend a vehicle with enough usable space.
When is the booking confirmed?
A request is not a confirmed booking. Confirmation happens only after Recharge Travels verifies availability and you accept the written price and booking terms.
Need help choosing the category?
Send the traveller and luggage details first
Recharge Travels can recommend the smallest practical vehicle and explain the complete price before you commit.
