Sri Lanka trip (5 days) – need contacts + advice

Hi all, planning a 5-day trip from Chennai (4 people), landing in Colombo.

- Looking for self-drive car or car with driver
- Also open to travel agency contacts

Questions:

1. Any reliable contacts for self-drive rentals or car with driver in Colombo?
2. Good travel agencies you’ve personally used?
3. For 4 people, is self-drive better or hiring a driver?
4. Typical cost per day for both options?

Would really appreciate direct contacts or recommendations. Thanks!

Hi all, planning a 5-day Sri Lanka trip:
Landing in Colombo
Thinking of renting a **self-drive car**
Might return to India via **Jaffna ferry** (not confirmed)
**Questions:**
Is self-drive easy for tourists? Need IDP? Any rental suggestions?

How’s the **weather in June** – is it too rainy for a road trip?

Best 5-day route (Kandy/Ella/South coast?)

Is the **Jaffna–India ferry** running and reliable?

Any general tips (fuel, safety, driving conditions)?

Thanks!!
