How much does a taxi ride from the airport to Colombo cost?

The cost of a taxi from Colombo Bandaranaike Airport to the city depends on the booking method. It is cheapest to order through the PickMe or Uber apps — this will cost approximately 1500-2500 LKR (from 5 to 8 US dollars). If you take a taxi from the airport counters or parking lot, the price may be higher — from 2000 to 3500 LKR. The journey takes about 30-60 minutes depending on traffic.

For comparison, bus No. 187 costs only about 100-200 LKR, but it is less convenient with luggage and can be overcrowded. Tuk-tuks through apps will be cheaper than taxis — approximately 1000-1800 LKR, but they are only suitable for travelers with a small amount of luggage.
