The most common issue tourists face is being pulled over by the local traffic police for not having the correct legal documentation. Even if you have an International Driving Permit, you must get it officially endorsed by the Automobile Association in Colombo before you hit the road. If you fail to do this, the police will fine you on the spot.

Another frequent issue is renting from unverified, informal street vendors who provide poorly maintained vehicles. If the clutch snaps or the brakes fail in the mountains, you are completely stranded. Always rent from a highly reputable, professional agency like Tuk Tuk Rental, who provide full breakdown cover and perfectly maintained vehicles.
