HIGHLY RECOMMENDED full coverage in Sri Lanka. Traffic is chaotic, damage risk high, road conditions variable. Basic coverage may leave you with USD 500-3000 excess/deductible on any damage. Full coverage (LDW + CDW + Zero Excess) adds USD 15-30/day but eliminates worry.

Check credit card rental coverage — some (Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire) include coverage. But Sri Lanka often excluded from credit card list. Confirm with your card. Rental agencies (Casons, Hemas, Kangaroo) offer their coverage — read specific inclusions/exclusions before signing.
