How to use tuk-tuks in Sri Lanka and not overpay?

To avoid overpaying for tuk-tuks, try to find transport with a meter, although this is not always easy—drivers often claim that the meter is not working and offer a negotiated price. If there is no meter, bargain hard: start with half the named price and aim for a maximum of 100 rupees per kilometer. Remember that for very short trips, tuk-tuk drivers rarely take less than 400 rupees. Always agree on the price before starting the trip, and pay only upon arrival. And the most reliable way not to overpay is to use Uber or PickMe apps.
