Kandy Budget Taxi & Rent a Car Service

We were a group of 6 people and we went in November 2023
They are very professional, friendly and helpful
Without a doubt if you go to Sri Lanka it is the best option to get around and at a really good price. If you can choose a driver, I recommend Sampath, a great professional and a better person. He took us to places we hadn't planned and always looked for the best for us.
100% recommended

Visited Sri Lanka In 2023 for a holiday and stayed for two months, with SAMPTATH as my Driver throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend both the driver and vehicle, and I plan to avail of their services again in the future. Exceptional service all around.

My friend Eva and I have been in Sri Lanka for 14 days and after considering going by bus/train or tuktuk we believed that the best option to get around this country without wasting a lot of time traveling is with a driver and we couldn't be more delighted.
He has followed the route that we wanted to take and has recommended accommodations (since the first day we already had an altercation) and restaurants (a delicious Kotthu near Sigiriya, we repeated and everything).
Thank you very much and do not hesitate to hire it, it will make your stay in Sri Lanka easier if you have little time!

Hello, we are Laura and Eva! We have been in Sri Lanka for 14 days, 6 of them with a private driver and the truth is that we are super happy to have organized our trip with Chami (our driver). We started the route from the Colombo airport, where he picked us up, and we took a route through Anuadhapura, Sigiriya, Kandy and Nuwara Elilla. It has been a great experience! He has taken us to all the places we have asked, recommending accommodations, places to eat and even optional plans to add to our route! Highly recommended if you have little time to see the country. I leave you his contact in case it can be of use to you: Chami: +94 71 210 8210

Our trip to Sri Lanka was amazing thanks to Chami! In addition to being our taxi driver, he served as a guide (since he helped us prepare our itinerary around the island from the very beginning), he was our private Sinhalese teacher during the trips (stutiyi) as well as a good student of Spanish and above all He was characterized by being a beautiful person whom we consider as a friend.
It is worth noting the cleanliness of the vehicle, the professionalism behind the wheel in a country where circulation is a bit chaotic and above all, how attentive and detailed he was with us (he advises you at all times where you can eat well and what activities you can do to take advantage of the maximum trip).
100% recommended if you want to take advantage of your trip to Sri Lanka.

Our driver was Nuwan, professional service, always available and attentive to everything we needed. The days we were with him were very easy, he helped us with everything.

The car was fine, spacious and very clean.

Chami is a charming person, he treated us great at all times and he is a very professional taxi driver: he knows the country thoroughly, he recommended very interesting places and activities, he took us shopping in good stores, he took us to good restaurants, etc. Unbeatable experience, to repeat without a doubt!

Excellent transportation company in Sri Lanka. Knowledgeable, friendly drivers ensure your safe arrival to any destination.

I strongly recommend this company to visit Sri Lanka. We hired the services for 11 days for a round trip and we had an amazing experience. Chami that is the owner help us from the first instance with an itinerary proposal, help to book the train tickets. Nuwan that was our driver and he was lovely, thanks to him we visited a lot of places as he was proposing new places, restaurants, companies to contract additional activities (Minneriya Safari, Yala Safari, Bentota River Safari, Ayurveda.)
Chami and Nuwan are really nice, kind, effective and resolutness.
Strongly recommended

"I recently took a 14-day vacation around Sri Lanka and had the pleasure of using the car hire service of Kandy Budget Taxi managed by Mr. Chami. From the moment we stepped off the plane, Mr. Chami was there to greet us and personally drive us from the airport to Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Kandy, and Nanu Oya station.
The level of service and attention to detail provided by Mr. Chami was nothing short of exceptional. He was incredibly reliable, flexible and went above and beyond to make sure our trips were enjoyable and stress-free. The cars he arranged for us were spotlessly clean and in excellent condition, making our travels comfortable and efficient.
Mr. Chami also arranged for other drivers to take us from Ella to Mirrissa, Galle, and Colombo, and I was impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of these drivers as well.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend Mr. Chami and his car hire service enough. It truly made our vacation around Sri Lanka an unforgettable experience, and we are so grateful to have had him as our driver. Thank you, Mr. Chami, for providing such a stunning and memorable service! "

Super service! Great experience! Chami was our driver for eight days around the island. He was friendly, very professional and always ready and willing to help us with everything. Suggesting ideas but also with great flexibility to adapt the tour to our plans or change of plans. Totally recommendable.

Me and four friends travelled around Sri Lanka rapidly and comfortably thanks to this company. They offered us a van driven by a local person and also helped us to decide the route day by day very kindly. We will always be thankful for our beautiful and well organized trip.

Great service!

We made a day trip from Kandy to sigiriya. Our diver Nuwan made good suggestions for other interesting locations to stop by on the way. He was very patient and polite. We enjoyed the ride.

Chami hat uns am Bahnhof in Kandy angesprochen und uns schnell und sicher nach Sigiriya gefahren. Tolles Hybrid Auto und sehr zu empfehlen.

I usually don't write reviews but this time I actually feel like writing a review because I'm so satisfied.

The driver, Vijith, was very good. The company mot only gave us a great driver and a car but also helped us with a lot of things. The cab is fairly priced. I'll definitely, definitely recommend their services to everyone.

Really good driver, the driver knew the local roads and took us to places which weren't well known on tourist website but what we were interested in. Always on time, was our driver for a few days, no hassle, very friendly and very good price.

This is a highly recommended company! Everything worked as planned and even better! Pradeep was our driver and he is fantastic! He provided excellent services, he is very polite and helpful and an excellent driver! Well done, Pradeep, you made our vacations in Sri Lanka perfect! Will come back here and you will definitely be our driver again! See you again!
