Counter is safer and usually around 12-14k for AC car to Galle area. 15k is a bit high but not insane. Prebooked is best if you can next time. Don't take the first offer outside.
We used the counter, was fine and fixed price. Peace of mind with the kid.
Yeah counter or prebooked is better. Outside guys often overcharge. 12-13k is more normal for decent car.
I took one outside and paid 14k after bargaining. Was okay but next time I'll prebook.
Scam Watch: galle
Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.
Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
