My wife and I are planning on spending 3 1/2 weeks in SL in Feb/March. We are wondering how easy we will find it to get trustworthy drivers once we get there. We are currently in communication with one who was recommended to us but he is only offering us his package, which we think involves top end accommodation (he is quoting one overall price, but not specifying where we will be staying). We would also like more flexibility. Any views or thoughts?

I recently used the site srilankacaranddriverhire.com
you outline your itinerary and they bid for the work. It'll be typically $60/day inc unlimited mileage and fuel. ensure you clarify what is included as some will charge extra for drivers accommodation, some won't
Our driver was fine and I'd be happy to provide contact details.
However, if we travelled again we would not use a driver for the whole trip. Once we arrived at a destination we didn't need his help, so we let him go home overnight a few nights. with hindsight we'd just take a car between destinations, perhaps using the same site. Hope this helps

James, many thanks. This is what we've decided to do - rather than commit to one driver for the whole time.
