A taxi service for every kind of trip
Whether you need a quick ride across town or a driver for the whole day, Ceylon Taxi's service is built around how you're actually travelling in Sri Lanka.
City taxi service
Built for the trips you make within a single city — a meeting across Colombo, a shopping run, or a short hop between hotels. Fares are metered fairly with no waiting-time surprises, and a driver can usually reach you within 15–20 minutes in Colombo, Negombo, Galle, and Kandy.
Book a city ride →Long distance taxi service
For travel between cities — Colombo to Kandy, Negombo to Sigiriya, or a coastal run down to Galle and Mirissa — this is a single driver and vehicle for the whole journey, with fuel and expressway tolls already built into the fare. One-way and return trips are both available, with fixed pricing agreed before you set off.
See popular routes ↓Hotel transfers
Door-to-door transport between your hotel and wherever you're headed next — the airport, a day-tour pickup point, or your next stay along the coast. Drivers track your flight or check-out time where relevant, so the car is waiting rather than the other way around.
