Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Private Driver

Clear, honest answers to help you plan your journey with confidence.

What is included in the private driver quotation?
Every quotation from Kumar & Sons Tours is all-inclusive. It covers your dedicated English-speaking chauffeur guide, the modern air-conditioned vehicle, all fuel for agreed daily travel, expressway tolls, parking fees, comprehensive passenger insurance, and the driver's meals and overnight accommodation. There are no hidden fees or unexpected road expenses.
How does driver accommodation and meals work?
Most tourist hotels and guest houses in Sri Lanka provide complimentary driver quarters and meals. If you choose to stay at a private villa, boutique bungalow, or Airbnb that does not have driver facilities, we arrange and cover the driver's nearby accommodation directly. You never have to book rooms, pay extra fees, or worry about your driver's lodging.
What vehicle options can we choose between?
For solo travellers and couples (1–3 passengers), we provide comfortable air-conditioned sedans such as the Toyota Premio, Prius, or Axio. For families and small groups (3–8 passengers), we deploy spacious high-roof passenger touring vans (Toyota KDH / HiAce Commuter) featuring dual A/C and generous luggage bays. For larger groups (9–16+ passengers), mini-coaches with PA systems are available.
Can we request a tailor-made itinerary or change our plans on the road?
Yes, absolutely! Having your own private driver gives you total schedule flexibility. If you want an earlier morning start to beat the heat at Sigiriya, wish to pause for fresh king coconuts, or decide to stay longer at an Ella viewpoint, your chauffeur accommodates your personal rhythm. You can also send us a wish-list of places and we will build a realistic daily route for you.
What are the practical advantages of hiring a local driver over driving yourself?
Self-driving in Sri Lanka requires navigating narrow roads, mountain switchbacks, local bus traffic, and obtaining local endorsements for foreign driving permits in Colombo. A professional local chauffeur eliminates this stress completely, knows safe alternative routes, assists with language barriers and luggage, and shares authentic historical and cultural insights throughout the trip.
Are your drivers English-speaking and experienced?
Yes. All our drivers are fluent in English, and founder Kumar also speaks conversational German. With nearly 40 years of island operation, our drivers are patient, safe, family-oriented, and thoroughly knowledgeable about Sri Lankan history, nature, and scenic stops.
How do we enquire and confirm a private driver booking?
You can send us an inquiry via our online booking form or message Kumar & Chathuranga directly on WhatsApp (+94 77 774 1615). Share your travel dates, passenger count, luggage volume, and desired destinations. We will review the route, advise on sensible travel times, and provide a clear, itemized proposal within hours.
