Drink & Drive Safe Ride Service Colombo
A responsible, professional alternative after weddings, office parties and nights out on Park Street or Marine Drive. We send a sober, licensed driver to take you and your own car home safely, so neither of you spends the night stranded.
Driver only - we do not rent cars. Ceylon Drivers supplies professional drivers for your own vehicle. There is no vehicle rental, no taxi and no car hire fleet - just a trusted driver who arrives where you are and drives your car.
Why book Ceylon Drivers
- Responsible, safety-first service - never a substitute for good judgment
- Sober, licensed drivers dispatched 24/7 across Colombo
- You and your car travel home together - no van pickup the next day
- Discreet drivers who never discuss your booking
- Covers restaurants, hotels, clubs and private residences
- One WhatsApp message before you even order your first drink
How the safe ride works on the night
Message or call 0703697800 once you know your venue and roughly when you plan to leave - the Cricket Club Cafe, a Racecourse function, a private party in Thalawathugoda. A sober driver arrives at the entrance, checks in with you quietly, and drives your own car home. You do not have to leave the vehicle overnight or arrange a separate pickup the next morning.
Sri Lanka's drink driving laws
Driving under the influence here carries fines, licence suspension and in serious cases imprisonment - and the far greater risk of harming yourself or someone else on the Baseline Road or Marine Drive stretch home. The safest plan is made before the first drink, not after: save 0703697800 in your phone and treat it the same way you'd treat a fire exit sign.
Booking ahead for weddings and parties
For weddings at BMICH, hotel functions at Cinnamon Grand or Galadari, and office year-end parties, tell us the venue and expected finishing time a day in advance and we hold a driver specifically for your group. Same-night calls are just as welcome; we simply cannot guarantee the exact same lead time as a pre-booked slot.
Group and multi-car bookings
When several couples drive to the same event in separate cars, we can dispatch multiple drivers to leave together in convoy, which is especially useful for guests heading to Nugegoda, Rajagiriya or Battaramulla from a Colombo 07 venue late at night. Let us know car count and rough departure time when you book.
