PRIVATE TRANSPORT · A ROUTE THAT FITS
Hire a private driver
in Sri Lanka.
Travelling with your own car and driver lets you connect the places on your list without arranging a new transfer every day. Start with your dates, group and preferred pace; we will check a suitable vehicle and driver before quoting.

are you planning?
A multi-day hire suits a journey with several overnight stops. A private day drive starts from your accommodation and returns to the agreed drop-off. If you only need to get from the airport to your hotel, ask for a point-to-point transfer quote instead of a daily hire.
Serendib Local is a new business focused on private transport and route planning. We confirm availability for your actual dates. The vehicle options describe the space you can request; they are not a claim that we own a fleet or have a particular model available at all times.
Choose seats and luggage space together
A sedan can be a practical starting point for a solo traveller or couple. Larger parties can request an SUV or minivan. Passenger numbers alone do not determine suitability: tell us the number and size of your bags, any child-seat request and any equipment you need to carry.
- Private sedan: up to 3 guests; usually 2 medium suitcases. Availability is checked before booking.
- Roomier SUV: up to 4 guests; space depends on the model. Availability is checked before booking.
- Private minivan: up to 6 guests; confirm space for your group's bags. Availability is checked before booking.
Understand what the driver hire covers
Our guide rates allow for a vehicle, driver and fuel on the agreed route. The planning allowance is 8 hours and an average of 150 km a day over a multi-day hire. We allow for the driver's meals and accommodation, ordinary tolls and parking in the proposed quote.
Your own hotels, meals, attraction tickets and activities are separate. A driver hire does not automatically include specialist attraction guiding. Extra hours, distance or a changed route must be agreed and priced before being added. Read the driver-cost guide for examples and exclusions.
Leave room between the highlights
Choose the places that matter most, then build sensible overnight stops around them. A map's shortest route is not always the day you want to spend on holiday. Add time for meals, breaks, check-in and the last drive to the airport. Our 5, 7 and 10 day itineraries give you a starting structure to adapt.
Before you accept a quote
- Agree the pickup, drop-off and overnight bases.
- Confirm the actual vehicle, luggage space and any special requirements.
- Check the daily allowance, included costs and any extras.
- Read the payment and cancellation conditions before committing.
We confirm the details in writing. Sending an enquiry does not reserve a car or require payment.
