Overall, very good experienced as the operator has message to update on the confirmation of the ride. This part is good. The driver also meet all the requirements that we needed like toilet break and grab quick snack.

Our driver was unfortunately 1hr 40 mins late which sadly impacted our day. Pick up was booked for 11am. Our driver sent message to say he would not be sble to get to us until 11.30, however it was 12.40 before he arrived. He advised us that rain and traffic were the problem. We have used this company for previous transfers and the drivers had all been on time. He was a lovely guy and drove us safely to our next destination. But we felt we lost part of our day sat waiting unnecesarily. Communicaion via whatsap with the company was excellent and they also reached out to the driver to see what the delay was.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Kandy and Negombo, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
