What tricks do taxi drivers in Sri Lanka use to deceive?

Common tricks:

• Overcharging with similar numbers – for example, asking for $50 instead of $15. Always clarify that the price is in rupees and for all passengers.
• Offering "tours" for ridiculous money (e.g., 1500 rupees per day). In reality, they will take you to shops (tea, souvenirs) where the driver gets a commission. If you don't buy anything, they may demand extra payment.
• Toll roads – the driver may not warn that the route includes a toll section (additional $1-5). Clarify this when ordering.

We recommend using apps to order taxis or services from trusted transfers.
