The cheapest taxis in Sri Lanka

  The service was very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend their services. I was traveling alone so safety was important to me and they made me feel comfortable and... read more safe.

  I got in touch with Ruwan at Less Taxi after reading reviews here on Trip Advisor. Long before we ever arrived in Sri Lanka I was already impressed by... read more the speed with which he responded to my queries and the confidence that this gave me in his service. I didn't cross-quote most of the prices he gave me, but one or two that I did came out very competitive. we did everything via Whatsapp which was very convenient and every step of our trip went like clockwork.

He had a driver meet us at the airport and we then had 3 other transfers booked with him. However, when we arrived in Colombo we decided that we would also like to fit in a visit to Sirigirya while we were staying in Kandy, so I got in touch with Ruwan and very quickly he had arranged a day trip for us that then also included a village tour. he also offered other tours, but was not pushy about any of this and quite happy when we told him we had organised similar with our hotels.

the drivers were really good. As anyone who has been there will know, the driving in Sri Lanka can be quite hair-raising and we met other tourists who, while finding heir di=rivers very personable, also found their typical driving style quite anxiety-making with the continuous tail-gating and dangerous overtaking. Ruwans drivers were all much more alum and steady and took things at a nice pace which made us feel very relaxed..after all, your on holiday, what does an extra 5 or 10 minutes matter on a journey...and I doubt the aggressive drivers even gain that much, such is the general traffic. The cars were all clean, comfortable and with good A/c and the drivers were all there on time or usually earlier.

So, can't recommend Ruwan and Less Taxi highly enough!!

  Very efficient and reasonably priced taxi service run by the cheerful Ruwan. His favourite word is “cool”.
I used his taxi service on two occasions and wouldn’t hesitate to... read more use again.
He keeps you informed of who the driver is, type of car, registration number and when it will arrive.
All done on WhatsApp.
Cool.

  Contacted Less Taxi before we left home on Trip Advisor recommendation and set up first two taxi rides. Price quoted was exactly what we paid. Airport pickup arranged and then... read more from Colombo hotel to Galle. Taxi always arrived half an hour before stated time and was spotless. Contacted again when we were in Sri Lanka and Ruwan organised Taxi from Galle to Bentota and from Bentota to Colombo hotel.and then from there to airport for flight home.Can't praise service enough. Messaged me for each ride with Taxi and driver details.

  Booked a few taxi trips to travel through Sri Lanka. Incredible service, would definitely recommend using Less Taxi if you want to get around Sri Lanka for a good price!

  We did a round trip around Central and South Sri Lanka in the last 3 weeks and were extremely lucky to have Less Taxi and Ruwan support us. Ruwan is... read more available always 24/7 and I hope he will soon have grown his company, that he can hire more people to support him ;)

We did in total about 750 km with his taxi partners on 8 trips from 30 to more than 100 km per single trip. All the drivers were very good and safely driving, the cars were always comfortable.

It's also great that he arranges the taxis on demand, because then you can take the train or bus when you want, without having to pay for a waiting taxi.

We paid roughly 60 rupees per kilometer which is much less than the average taxi price for tourists in Sri Lanka. Its even less than Tuktuk services!

Ruwan assisted us also on other issues like planning, or with a bad hotel that we had to solve booking issues. His service and help was excellent, and he is really excited about his start-up as well, that's why we wish him the best of luck to grow his company to a Sri Lankan wide travel agency ;)

  We were very pleased to be recommended Less Taxi for our return journey to the airport after paying a lot more at the start of our holiday to be picked... read more up. Ruwan was very easy to talk to and arranged our transfer with one of his drivers, keeping in touch all the time in case we had any problems. Our driver arrived early and was very professional. Ruwan messaged when our driver had arrived and checked in after to make sure that the drive was completed satisfactorily. Thankyou so much! Happy to support this growing start up!

Thank you Mr, Ruwan for making me feel safe and welcomed to lovely Sri Lanka! See you soon again! Jovana from Serbia

  Our family of 7 travelled to Sri Lanka in January. Luckily I stumbled across the company Less Taxi. It is managed by Ruwan who is incredibly easy to deal with... read more and has a wealth of knowledge to help organise any kind of transfer or trips to attractions.We used his service for all our transfers between the different places we stayed.Communication was flawless and Ruwan E-mailed a table to us before we departed for our holiday with the prices for each transfer, the distance and the time it would take. Where we had some time to spare between checking out at one place and checking in at the next he suggested where the driver could take us.
All the vans were in great condition, comfortable and had Air conditioning. On the morning of our transfer Ruwan would send information including drivers name, vehicle type and registration.
All the 6 transfers went without a hitch. The drivers were all polite, safe drivers and on time (usually early).
We would definitely recommend Less Taxi if you need transfers or drivers to take you anywhere while holidaying in Sri Lanka.

  Reliable taxi service with clear and nice communication via WhatsApp. Save drivers and a good price.

  The cars were spotless, air-conditioned etc and prompt. Great if you are on a longer journey, or just need the extra comfort, which make a tuk tuk, or other taxi... read more firm undesirable or impractical (otherwise just a tuk tuk will do)

Only four stars as the price for me was high. But, then again, I booked it through an agency as an add on airport transfer so I knew I would be paying over the odds for that convenience. I know others highly rated it for excursions.

It is obviously more expensive than local travel options (train, tuk tuk etc) but you get what you pay for. I would recommend experiencing local travel for short trips when you get the chance. But this is perfect for peace of mind / comfort / no hassle when you need it.

  Arranged a good,reliable service! Everything arranged with whatsapp so easy to use when you are travelling

  Share my experiences below:
1. The car is new and very clean;
2. Services are the best; they will reply you fast and care about your feeling very... read more much.
3. Price is reasonable
I searched and talked to more than ten cab/taxi companies and this one is the best.
And my trip is from Colombo city to Ella, not in Galle.
Less Taxi still arranges a wonderful trip for my friends and me.
This is why I choose this one and recommend strongly.

在下面分享我的經驗：
1.汽車是新的而且很乾淨；
2.服務是最好的；他們會快速回复您，並非常關心您的感覺。
3.價格合理
我搜索了十多個出租車公司，並與之交談，這是最好的。
我的旅行是從科倫坡市到埃拉，而不是加勒。
少出租車仍然為我和我的朋友安排了一次美妙的旅行。
這就是為什麼我選擇這個並強烈推薦的原因。
