Hi, I'm Amal Jay. With over 20 years of experience navigating Kandy's winding mountain roads and vibrant city streets, I know Sri Lanka's Central Province like the back of my hand.
I started as a driver to share my love for this beautiful island with visitors from around the world. Whether you're a tourist looking for the best tea plantation viewpoints, a family needing reliable school transport, or a local requiring a comfortable intercity hire — I'm your person. And when you book me, my car comes with me — no separate rental needed.
I speak English, Sinhala & Tamil, accept card payments, and I'm always punctual. My Toyota Axio Hybrid is fully insured, regularly serviced, and one of the greenest cars you can travel in around Sri Lanka.

Everything you need to know before booking.
Private driver hire in Kandy starts from LKR 3,500 for short local trips. Popular route rates: Kandy to Colombo Airport from LKR 8,500, Kandy to Ella from LKR 12,000, and full-day tours from LKR 9,500. All prices are fixed with no hidden charges at the end of the journey.

Absolutely. Sri Lanka's mountain roads around Kandy can be challenging for unfamiliar drivers. A private driver gives you door-to-door convenience, local knowledge, flexible itineraries, and peace of mind. It's especially valuable for families, senior travelers, and tourists wanting to explore off-the-beaten-path locations in the Central Province.
The most comfortable way from Kandy to Ella is by private car hire. The scenic drive takes approximately 3.5–4 hours via Nuwara Eliya and passes through stunning tea plantations. Our private hire for the Kandy–Ella route starts from LKR 12,000 in our eco-friendly Toyota Axio Hybrid.
PickMe (similar to Uber) operates in Kandy for short city trips. However, for tourist day tours, intercity hires to Colombo or Ella, airport transfers, or school transport, a private driver with a fixed rate is far more comfortable and reliable. Our hybrid Toyota Axio is air-conditioned, well-maintained, and driven by an experienced local.
Yes! We offer dedicated, safe private school transport for children in Kandy. Unlike crowded school vans, your child travels in a clean, air-conditioned, private car with a fully licensed and background-checked driver. We serve all schools in Kandy including Kandy Girls' High, Kingswood College, D.S. Senanayake Vidyalaya, and others. Monthly packages available.
Amal's Toyota Axio Hybrid uses significantly less fuel than standard petrol cars, meaning lower carbon emissions on your trip. Environmentally-conscious travelers from Europe, Australia, and beyond can explore Sri Lanka knowing they're making a greener choice. It's also quieter and smoother on Kandy's mountain roads — and it's included in your hire.
The fastest way to book is via WhatsApp — we respond instantly. You can also call directly or send an email. Card payments accepted for all hires.
