Service was prompt and efficient, with large, clean vehicles provided. All our drivers were welcoming and excellent drivers. We recommend this service to anyone wishing to travel through Sri Lanka.

The week with Lashan was amazing. Contact with him, planning the trip and the whole organization - perfect.
He showed us beautiful places, local restaurants, and the habits of local people. He knows a lot of people, so for example we had visiting the park in Kaudulla with a private driver - in the car!

It was a wonderful experience. Lashan was on the phone 24/7, helpful, understanding and very polite. He did everything for us. We spent an amazing time with him and we will definitely happy to come back to Sri Lanka - to Lashan.

It was wonderful time, the price also was very good and the car was very comfortable and clean :)

We had Vicky as our driver for 10 days - he was excellent! Nothing was ever too much trouble and he gave us lots of great tips and insights into life in Sri Lanka while we were travelling. He was a really safe driver and great with our two children ages 8 and 10 years. Lashan was excellent too - really communicative and not at all pushy. We wanted to do a safari one day and he suggested we go to a different place to what we originally planned - turned out we paid less than we originally planned and we saw 60 elephants! We will use these guys again when we next go back to Sri Lanka - thanks for making our trip so enjoyable!

My trip couldnt have been better with Hikkaduwa Taxi service. I truly recommend their services. Lashan was very responsive and attentive to my request while planning the trip and provided me with lots of recommendations and during the trip was also very responsive as needed. Vicky, our tour guide and driver, has been very cooperative for all our requests. He is very polite and super friendly. All in all, very satisfied with their services and would definitely reach out to them again in the future when I go back the beautiful Sri Lanka :)

In addition to being a very friendly man, Lala is also a great guide. He made us share all the riches of this beautiful country, and made us discover unusual places. We could not have made such a nice trip without him. It is therefore without any hesitation that I recommend his services.
You will walk alongside an excellent fellow traveler, and you will undoubtedly be a true friend.
Thank you for everything Lala. I love you. I miss you ❤️

I would not book with this company and support this owner because of the way he treats customers and his drivers.

We booked Lakshan from Hikkaduwa taxi service through Whats App based on good reviews. Through our texting Lakshan said he would “most probably” be our driver which was reassuring because his English is good.
However when we arrived he wasn’t our driver and this was not advised in advance.
Our driver had very limited English, which was not ideal but manageable.
Later, when we questioned why Lakshan wasn’t our driver he said that he is the company manager and that he would “never” be the driver.

The major problem came when we sought advice from Lakshan regarding the last leg of our journey, because it was beyond the scope of our drivers English.
This was perceived as a complaint which led to the following:
• He repeatedly and aggressively demanded immediate payment, despite our agreement to pay at the end
• Lakshan threatened to take our passports
• He called our hotel manager, trying to get them to take our passports
• He threatened to call the police
• He was verbally abusive
• He invented a series of increasingly bizarre fantasies; including accusing us of intending to give him fake USD at the airport
• Despite the fact we were due to pay the full amount at the end of the trip, he refused to accept a compromise of 50% payment, with the rest paid at the end.
• We went from having zero contact, to him being agitated, irrational and demanding premature payment. We couldn’t make sense of his behaviour, it seemed nothing short of bullying and harassment.

We checked with the hotel manager who said you don’t pay for the drivers upfront and under no circumstances to give him our passports.

This went on for several hours before we were finally able to find a resolution.

Although we wish our actual driver all the best, it is important for people to be aware of the unacceptable behaviour of Lakshan; as a result I would advise against using Hikkaduwa taxi service.

Make sure you are clear about what you are looking for when you book a driver, even if that means sending a lot of questions.
Make sure the payment arrangements are agreed in advance, so that you have it in writing.

I booked a taxi to take my wife from Hikkaduwa to YalaNational Park and had everything confirmed at a very reasonable price. Two days before leaving my phone was immersed in water and wasn’t charging, so in a panic, before the charge ran out, I sent a text to explain that I’d be using another number and inadvertently put the wrong date. On the day, obviously the taxi didn’t arrive and so I phoned and tried to change it. I was panicking as we had a safari booked for lunchtime, but the organiser sorted out another car for me as quickly as possible and Sudesz, the driver, arrived very quickly considering the short notice. He was extremely courteous and we arrived in good time at our destination 2.5 hours later, in good time. Thank you so much to both of you. I cannot recommend you highly enough!
