Transfer Charleroi airport - Brussels center: on the way out we took a random cab spending 200€. GetTransfer allowed us to spend only 60 on the return instead, with a driver who was very punctual (in fact, early!), friendly, helpful and professional. Fast payment and very efficient communication with the driver. Based on our experience I recommend him without any doubt!

Getting around Colombo

Colombo offers various transportation options, each with its perks and downsides. While public transport is on the cheaper side, it may not be the most convenient for tourists unfamiliar with the routes.

Public Transport in Colombo

Public buses are the primary mode of transport, with fares as low as $0.30. However, they can be crowded and challenging for newcomers, especially during peak hours. Additionally, routes are not always intuitive, which can lead to confusion and delays.

Car Rentals in Colombo

Renting a car can give you the flexibility to explore at your own pace, with daily rates starting around $25. Nevertheless, navigating Colombo's bustling streets can be tricky, and parking is often a challenge. Drivers should also be aware of local traffic laws to avoid fines.

Conventional taxis provide a fair amount of convenience but often come with surprise fare increases, especially for longer journeys. With GetTransfer, our taxi services in Colombo offer a superior alternative. Not only can you book your taxi in advance, but you can also select the vehicle and driver of your choice. Our service ensures you avoid any unexpected pricing, combining ease of use with comfort for the best experience possible.
