Yes official metered tuk tuks in Colombo are legally allowed to charge a slightly higher night fare usually kicking in after 10 PM. The digital meter automatically adjusts to this higher rate which is entirely fair and standard practice.

To guarantee a perfectly fair price always use the Uber or PickMe apps late at night which clearly display the exact cost including any late night surcharges before you confirm the ride.

However if you flag an unmetered tuk tuk outside a popular night club the driver will aggressively demand a massively inflated flat rate simply because they know you are desperate to get home.
