When you book an airport transfer in Colombo, the cost will depend on the vehicle type and size. For instance, for three passengers in a sedan, the cost is €27 (LKR 9,135), whereas for a minivan with room for up to 12 passengers, the cost is €55 (LKR 17,080). 

From Colombo Airport, the transfer time to a hotel in the city center is roughly 35 minutes in light traffic.

The quickest and most convenient way to transfer from Colombo Airport to your hotel is with a private transfer. You’ll receive personal and friendly service from a local English-speaking driver and a guaranteed on-time pickup. It’s also possible to take a Colombo Airport taxi which will also take around 35 minutes, or you opt for the public bus which takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes, not including wait times.

A Colombo Airport transfer can either be booked online via our website or you can download the Welcome app to book and manage your transfer from there. 

To confirm, you’ll need to enter a few personal details, your flight information, and then select a pick-up time.

Welcome doesn’t charge on a per-person basis so you’ll always be given a price for the entire vehicle, which you won’t need to share with anyone outside of your group. However, you can always divide the final price by the number of passengers in your group if you wish to split the cost.
