Taxi from Colombo Airport (CMB) to Colombo
Looking for a reliable taxi from Colombo Airport to Colombo? Jayasinghe Tours is based in Katunayake, beside Bandaranaike International Airport, so your driver is already close when you land. The distance to Colombo is about 35 km and the journey takes about 45 to 90 minutes, depending on traffic.
Colombo is Sri Lanka’s commercial capital, with Galle Face Green, the Gangaramaya Temple, Pettah market and the Colombo Fort district. Most business travellers and city-break guests head straight to hotels in Fort, Kollupitiya or Colombo 3.
About the Journey
The ride usually follows the Colombo–Katunayake Expressway and then city roads. Traffic around the city is heavy at the morning and evening peaks, so we advise adding some buffer time for early flights.
Our drivers are local, speak English and know the roads and the best places to stop. The vehicle is air-conditioned and fits your luggage, from a compact car for couples to a minivan for families and groups. See our car rental with driver service if you want the same driver for your whole trip.
