Drive My Car Home Service in Colombo
You had a long night at a party in Rajagiriya, one too many at a Colombo 07 dinner, or you simply cannot face the drive back to Moratuwa. Message us and a sober professional driver comes to wherever your car is parked and drives you and it home, safely and quietly.
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
- Sober, background-checked driver takes over your own car
- Dispatched to restaurants, clubs, hotels and private homes
- Available every night of the week including public holidays
- No need to leave your car overnight and collect it the next day
- Fixed fare agreed on WhatsApp before the driver sets off
- Quiet, judgement-free service - the driver just drives
Why leaving the car behind is the wrong call
A car left outside a Colombo 03 restaurant overnight is a parking fine waiting to happen, or a second trip you have to make the next morning by tuk-tuk or taxi just to fetch it. Our drive-my-car-home service removes that problem entirely: the same trip that takes you home also takes your car home, in one go, with one driver.
Where this service is used most
Weddings at Cinnamon Grand and Galle Face Hotel that run past midnight, birthday dinners along Marine Drive, work functions in Colombo 02 with an open bar, and long days that end with a family gathering in Nugegoda. Any time you drove somewhere sober and should not drive back the same way, this is the service to call.
How we keep it discreet
The driver who arrives is not there to comment on your evening. He confirms the destination, checks the seatbelt, and drives at a sensible pace through Colombo's night traffic - past the Beira Lake roundabout, along Havelock Road or out towards Kottawa - while you rest in the passenger or back seat.
Booking at short notice
Most drive-me-home calls come in with almost no warning - you decide at 11pm that you should not drive. That is normal for us. Share your live location on WhatsApp and we dispatch the nearest available driver, typically arriving within 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and area.

When customers book this
After a wedding reception
The reception at a Colombo hotel wraps up near midnight and neither the bride's father nor the groom's uncle should be driving the family car home to Dehiwala.
Office party gone long
A Friday work function on Union Place with drinks included. A driver takes the car and its owner back to Kotte without a second thought.
Dinner with old friends
A relaxed dinner in Bambalapitiya turns into two extra rounds. Rather than debate who is fit to drive, one phone call solves it.
Long day, low energy
No alcohol involved at all - just a driver who has been awake since 5am and would rather not drive the last stretch to Wattala.
What's included
- A sober, licensed driver for the return journey
- Coordination by phone or WhatsApp before pickup
- Careful handling of your vehicle at night
- Driver waits briefly at pickup if you are settling up a bill
What's not included
- A vehicle - we are driver-only and do not rent cars
- Return transport for the driver (built into the fare)
- Fuel and tolls for your car
