Broken Meter Scam
1/11/202654 people have confirmed this
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.
How to avoid it
Always insist on using the meter. If truly broken, negotiate price BEFORE getting in. Use PickMe or Uber apps for fixed prices. Airport to Colombo Fort should be ~2000-2500 LKR.
