About Renting a Car at Ramada Colombo

Ramada Colombo is located in the Kollupitiya district, one of Colombo's most vibrant neighborhoods with shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. With a rental car from the hotel, you can easily access all parts of Sri Lanka, from tea plantations in the highlands to tropical beaches in the south. CMB Airport is 38 km north, approximately 55 minutes away.

The hotel is situated 500 meters from Galle Face Green and 1 km from Colombo Racecourse, now a popular outdoor area. Liberty Plaza and Majestic City, two of Colombo's most visited shopping centers, are within 800 meters. Viharamahadevi Park with Colombo's large Buddha statue is 2 km to the east.

Kollupitiya is an excellent base for driving south along Galle Road toward Bentota and Hikkaduwa. Avoid parking along Galle Road during the day - parking attendants are active. Always fill up the tank before departure - prices vary and availability can be limited in rural areas.

How far is it from Ramada Colombo to Kandy? Approximately 115 km via A1, around 3 hours. The route passes through hilly terrain with tea plantations and is scenic but requires focused driving.

Are there parking options at Ramada Colombo? The hotel has parking spaces for guests. Contact reception for information on parking fees and availability.

Can I pick up the rental car at the airport and return it at the hotel? Yes, most rental companies offer one-way rentals between CMB and Colombo city for an additional fee. Confirm when booking.

We compare prices from all major providers at Ramada Colombo so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
