A clear checklist so you can message once, get a fixed quote, confirm the driver and car, and travel without guesswork.
I am Amal Jay at Kandy Transfers (+94 71 449 6285). Most travellers book entirely on WhatsApp. Follow these steps:
Open a chat to +94 71 449 6285 and say you need a private driver. Keep it short.
August 2026 guide examples: Airport–Kandy from LKR 17,000, Kandy–Ella from LKR 20,000, full day from LKR 16,000, half day from LKR 8,000. Your quote includes me driving my own vehicle, plus fuel, highway tolls, parking, and reasonable sightseeing stops. Tickets, hotels, and safari jeeps are excluded.
Confirm the booking in chat. Ask for driver and car photos before pickup. For airport arrivals, I track your flight when you share the number.
Meet at the agreed point. Cash to the driver is fine; card is accepted. For multi-day trips, booking 2+ legs usually costs less than separate one-ways.
Send pickup and drop-off points, date and time, passenger count, luggage, flight number for airport arrivals, and any must-stop requests. That is enough for a fixed quote.
Many bookings are confirmed on WhatsApp without a deposit and paid to the driver at the end. Confirm the payment plan in your chat before travel.
Ask for driver and car photos after confirmation. Match them at the meeting point. For airport arrivals, share your flight for tracking.

Yes. Send the full itinerary. Booking 2+ legs usually costs less than separate one-ways.
