How your package works

Understanding your package.

Your quote will explain the total kilometres included for your complete journey and the chauffeur hours available each day. Our team can review your route before recommending an option.

Kilometres for your full booking

Your package includes a fixed total number of kilometres—not a daily limit. Use them flexibly across the days you book, subject to the daily driving hours and agreed arrangements.

Illustrative example — not a quoted package a 7-day package containing 950 km provides 950 km in total across all seven days — not 950 km each day. You can travel more on some days and less on others.

Up to 10 hours per day

Your private chauffeur service is available for up to 10 hours each day, giving you time for sightseeing, stops and transfers.

Daily service allowance

Not sure how many kilometres?

Tell us whether your route includes places like Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yala or the south coast. Hill-country roads and sightseeing stops affect the time needed, so our team will assess the route before quoting.

Good to know

Your personalised quote will set out the agreed kilometre allowance and any charges for additional distance or hours. No fixed price is shown here because it must match your selected service.

After you contact us

Before you travel

Good to know before you enquire.

Travelling around Sri Lanka is easier when you know what is covered and how flexible your days can be. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask us about your journey
Can I plan my own route?

Yes. You can share the hotels and places you would like to visit, or just an outline. We will review whether the journey fits your travel days, driving hours and included kilometres.

Is this a private chauffeur or a guided tour?

This service provides a private air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking chauffeur. Hotel bookings, entry tickets, specialist guides and activities are separate unless they are specifically included in your personalised arrangements.

Can I travel across Sri Lanka, including the hill country?

Yes, routes can include the cultural triangle, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, wildlife areas and the coast. Road conditions and sightseeing stops make some days slower than the map distance suggests, so we will advise on a comfortable route.

How do the included kilometres work?

The kilometre allowance belongs to your entire booking, not each individual day. Your quote will show the total allowance, while your day-to-day use can vary within the agreed daily hours and itinerary.

Can I change the route or add stops during my journey?

Short photo, meal and sightseeing stops are part of the flexibility of private travel. Larger changes may use extra kilometres or hours; discuss these with your chauffeur and our team so any difference can be agreed.

Does the chauffeur price include my hotels and activities?

No. Your accommodation, meals, attraction entry tickets, safaris and specialist guides are normally separate. Our team can discuss optional arrangements if you need help.

Are child seats or airport pickups possible?

Please mention children’s ages, child-seat needs, airport arrival details and your pickup location in your enquiry. We will check the appropriate arrangements for your journey.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Contact us with your new flight details as soon as you can. We will review the revised arrival and advise what pickup arrangements are possible.

Do I need to choose the vehicle before I enquire?

No. Tell us your number of travellers, luggage and planned route. We can recommend a suitable vehicle and explain the options in your quote.
