This is a private transfer between Colombo Airport (CMB) and Sky Gardens, Colombo, arranged with your own vehicle and chauffeur rather than a shared shuttle or queue at the taxi rank. It covers the full road journey from the arrivals hall to your accommodation, with the car and driver booked exclusively for you and whoever is travelling with you.
The route runs from Bandaranaike International Airport at Katunayake, south through Ja-Ela, Ragama and Kadawatha on the way into Colombo, following whichever combination of the E03, A33, A1, AB29 and B12 roads your chauffeur judges best on the day. Traffic through this corridor varies a good deal with time of day, so the driver adjusts the route rather than sticking rigidly to one road the whole way. Lakpura's own figures for this transfer put the estimated travel time at around half an hour and the distance at roughly 70 kilometres, though actual journey time depends on conditions.
Your chauffeur meets you at the arrival lobby with a name board, and the same meet-and-greet applies in reverse if you are travelling from the hotel lobby to the airport. A waiting period of sixty minutes is included free of charge, which covers the time it typically takes to clear immigration and collect baggage after landing. The vehicle itself is private and air-conditioned, sized to the group: a standard car for one or two passengers, a standard van for three to five, a large van for five to eight, or a mini coach for larger groups of up to fifteen.
The chauffeur-guide speaks English, and the fare already accounts for airport entry charges, parking fees, highway tolls and all applicable taxes and service charges, along with a bottle of mineral water per person for the ride. What it does not cover is extra stops along the way, baby or booster seats, oversized items such as surfboards or golf bags, or transport arrangements for differently-abled passengers or pets. Round-the-clock support is available from Lakpura's team if your flight time changes or you need to confirm pickup details beforehand.
