Car Rental in Colombo 05, Colombo, Sri Lanka

Be sure to know if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in the event of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most rental companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the rental provider to let them know.

Many car rental deals at Colombo 05 require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, opt for rentals that assure the car type. This prevents surprises at pickup if a different vehicle is provided.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

If you're traveling with pets, check the rental agency’s pet policy. Some companies allow pets, but additional fees or specific conditions may apply.

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental company whether it’s permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.
