Helped me out in a situation where I needed to quickly book a taxi to the airport. The process was smooth and allowed you to be in contact with your driver.

Brilliant service, our driver was always on time, super friendly and attentive to our needs. Asking if we wanted water, air con on or off etc. Can't beat this service, I would highly recommend to anyone.

First of all I like punctuality, I really appreciate it. I ordered a car with a driver in this company for a certain time and in a specific place. My wishes were fulfilled very accurately! Thank you for that. The system of the transfer order is implemented very conveniently and competently: 1. I left the application, indicated the place, time, date, chose the type of car. 2. I got a call to clarify some details. 3. I paid for the trip. I liked that it is possible to choose among various electronic payment systems. The data on my trip to me was sent to the post: car make, license plate, driver's name. When I arrived at the airport, the car with the driver was already waiting for me. The driver helped me with the luggage and we drove off. I know the city very well, but he showed me several bypasses where it is possible to save time and not stand in traffic jams. The car is in good condition, the cabin is clean, the driver is polite and did not bother me with talking. You know, when you sit in a taxi, then many taxi drivers constantly impose their topics on you. There was no such situation here. I put five balls on the following criteria: punctuality, cleanliness of the cabin, correct driver behavior. Thank you.

Great service. Arrived promptly and asked if we needed to stop off anywhere on our way to our hotel. On our return journey asked about our trip which was nice.

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.
