Current airport taxi rates to Colombo city.
1 Answer from travellers
The official airport taxi counter just before the exit doors charges a flat rate based on vehicle size. A standard car to Colombo 03 will cost you around 8500 LKR right now. It includes the highway toll.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
