Chauffeur driven, not rented
Chauffeur driven car hire in Colombo usually implies a hired vehicle with a driver, but our version keeps your own car in the picture. A trained chauffeur arrives in uniform, drives your Mercedes, BMW, Prado or family sedan with the same formality you'd expect from a hired fleet, and returns it to you exactly as it was.
Timing that matches formal events
A chauffeur for a wedding at Shangri-La Colombo or a corporate arrival at Cinnamon Grand needs to work to the minute, not the hour. We brief chauffeurs on the event schedule in advance so the car is positioned at the entrance exactly when the bridal party or the visiting executive needs it, not five minutes late and not blocking the porch too early.
Suited to both luxury and everyday vehicles
A chauffeur assigned to a Range Rover for a diplomatic pickup on Bauddhaloka Mawatha is trained the same way as one assigned to a Toyota Axio for a family day out in Battaramulla - the difference is only in familiarity with the specific vehicle, and we match drivers accordingly at booking.
City tours with a chauffeur's eye for detail
Visitors staying in Colombo often want a half-day loop through Galle Face Green, Gangaramaya Temple and the Dutch Hospital precinct without navigating themselves. A chauffeur handles the route, parking and waiting so guests can move between sights without the friction of finding a car park at each stop.
