- Which car model should I pick?
- The Alto K10 suits two people with light bags. Families or anyone packing beach gear for the resorts here do better with the Wagon R or Aqua for the extra boot space, and the Prius is the roomiest if there are more than two of you.
- Is this self-drive, or can I hire a driver too?
- Self-drive is the default — you get the keys, and we handle your Sri Lankan necessary paperwork before you arrive. If you'd rather not drive yourself, a chauffeur option is available on all four models, with the rate quoted per trip on WhatsApp.
- Is the coast road to Galle easy in a car?
- Yes, it's a well-paved, straightforward drive along the coast through Ambalangoda and Hikkaduwa.
- Can I return the car somewhere other than Ahungalla?
- Yes. Many guests pair this with Galle or the south coast further on. Tell us your plans and we'll arrange collection.
