Colombo airport transfer with Sahan
Start the trip with the person who can keep driving it. Sahan can meet you at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), take you to the first hotel, or continue as your private driver around Sri Lanka.
Airport pickup shaped around your route
These are common destinations, not fixed packages. Your landing time, traffic, luggage and the pace you want determine the sensible plan.
CMB to Negombo or Colombo
A straightforward first transfer when you want to rest, recover from the flight or begin sightseeing nearby.
CMB to Sigiriya
Begin the Cultural Triangle without returning to Colombo. Sahan will advise whether the onward drive suits your arrival time.
CMB to Kandy
Travel inland toward the hill capital with practical stops chosen around traffic and how you feel after the flight.
CMB to Galle or the south coast
Continue toward Galle, Mirissa or another confirmed south-coast hotel using the route appropriate on the day.
CMB to Ella or tea country
A longer first leg that needs careful timing. Sahan will tell you if an overnight stop is the more comfortable choice.
Airport pickup plus island tour
Use the transfer as day one of a private 7, 10 or 14-day itinerary, with one driver and one agreed route.

Share the flight number, scheduled landing time, date, number of travellers, approximate luggage and the full name of the first hotel. If children, mobility needs or unusually large bags affect the vehicle requirement, mention that before the quote is confirmed.
The written reply should confirm the pickup point, destination, agreed price, what is included and the payment or cancellation terms that apply to your booking. Ceylon Drives does not publish a generic airport tariff because a late arrival, a distant hotel and the first day of a round-island tour are different jobs.
