Community-Powered Travel

Our model is uniquely community-focused: we don't actually own a fleet of vehicles. Instead, we operate as a bridge connecting adventurous tourists with independent, local auto-rickshaw owners.

Meaningful Change

Purchasing a $6,000 three-wheeler is a massive financial milestone. Because over 80% of owners come from modest backgrounds, your rental provides steady income to clear loans and upgrade living conditions.

5x Revenue Increase

Every journey you book is a direct investment into a local Sri Lankan household, frequently multiplying their standard daily wages by up to five times.

150+ Households Supported

7 Years of Excellence

We have been proudly connecting travelers and locals since our inception, helping owners invest in a brighter future while providing tourists with authentic adventures.

Real Stories of Growth

Entrepreneurial Dreams

Supplemental income allowed Sajith Priyadarshana to completely remodel their house and provided the seed money for their spouse to open a neighborhood café.

Achieving the Impossible

For Damith Eranga, major home renovations felt permanently out of reach. Extra earnings from our network turned that distant dream into a concrete reality.

Part-Time to Leadership

Hiruni Rashmishara started part-time and worked up to a fleet management role. That reliable income is now funding the construction of their own permanent home.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You need a Sri Lankan Recognition Permit with a 3-wheel endorsement. We can arrange this using your International Driving Permit (IDP) — your IDP must be a physical copy. We guide you through the entire process.
Yes! We accept payments via Stripe (credit card) or PayPal. Payment is required to confirm your booking and reserve your tuk tuk from a local owner.
All rentals include Standard Motor Insurance covering the tuk tuk, other vehicles, personal injuries (local government hospitals), and third parties — subject to a $150 USD excess. Upgrade to our Peace of Mind Cover to remove the excess entirely.
We provide 24/7 on-road support. All wear-and-tear repairs are covered by us at no charge — you only pay if you were involved in an accident or incident.
Yes! We also operate in Cambodia. Choose your country when booking. Tuk tuks are available in Sri Lanka (Katunayake) and select Cambodia locations.
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for December–April and June–October (peak months). Some models like the CabrioTuk and ElectricTuk are limited — first come, first served.
Yes — fully refundable at the end of your rental provided there's no accident damage. The deposit is collected in cash at pick-up and returned in cash when you hand back the keys. Upgrade to Peace of Mind Cover to waive the deposit entirely.
No prior tuk tuk experience needed! Every rental includes comprehensive driving lessons at pick-up. Most people are confidently on the road within a couple of hours. Tuk tuks are automatic — very easy to drive.
Our main hub is at Katunayake Airport (CMB) — we can meet you right at arrivals. We also offer delivery to Colombo City, Kandy, Galle, Ella, Arugam Bay and more pick-up points for a small delivery fee.
Our minimum rental is 3 days. Most adventurers book 7–14 days to properly explore Sri Lanka's highlights. Rentals of 15+ days get our best daily rate.
We understand travel plans change. Just let us know in advance via WhatsApp. Late returns are charged at the daily rate pro-rata. If you need an extension, we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Absolutely — you can drive anywhere within Sri Lanka with no kilometre restrictions. There are no border crossings within the island. If you booked a Cambodia tuk tuk, that operates separately in Cambodia.
