Reliable rides across Unawatuna & the Galle coast

Taxi & Airport Transfers

Where Can We Take You?

From our base in Unawatuna we run private taxis and airport transfers across the Galle coast and beyond — all at fixed, all-inclusive fares with trusted local drivers.

The single most-requested journey is the run to and from Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) near Colombo — around two and a half hours each way on the Southern Expressway, with flight tracking and a meet-and-greet included. But we're just as happy with the short hops: a five-minute run into Galle Fort, a beach day or surf lesson in Weligama, an early start for whale watching in Mirissa, or a town run to Matara for shopping and transport connections.

Every fare is agreed up front and covers the vehicle, fuel, and driver — there's no meter, no haggling, and expressway tolls are included on airport runs. Choose a one-way transfer, a return, or a wait-and-return so your driver stays with you for the day. Our clean, air-conditioned cars, SUVs, and vans suit everything from a solo traveller to a family with surfboards, and we run around the clock for pre-dawn safaris and late-night flights. Don't see your route below? It's not a problem — we travel island-wide, so just ask and we'll quote a fixed price.

Beyond point-to-point transfers, many guests use us for longer journeys: the scenic run up to Ella and the tea country, a transfer to Kandy or the cultural triangle around Sigiriya, or a full multi-day loop of the island with the same driver throughout. Because you have a private car and driver, you set the pace — stop for photos, a roadside king coconut, or a temple that catches your eye. We'll advise on realistic drive times, the best stops to break up a long route, and whether an overnight makes more sense than a single long day, so your time in Sri Lanka is spent enjoying the journey rather than enduring it.
