Pro-Tips for a Smooth Journey
- Confirm the Fare: Always agree on the total fare before starting your journey, especially if you’re not using an app. Ask if it includes tolls.
- Choose the Expressway: Politely insist on taking the E03 Expressway to save time.
- Have Cash Ready: While apps and some services accept cards, it’s always wise to have sufficient Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) in cash for the fare and tolls.
- Peak Hour Travel: If you must travel during peak hours, factor in at least 2 hours of travel time to be safe for any appointments or flight check-ins.
- Meet & Greet: If you are booking from the airport, most pre-booked services offer a “Meet & Greet” service where the driver waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign.
