Renting the car was perfect . was better than using uber or taxis . one surprise waiting for us was that Sri Lanka still requires and international license from AA like in the colonial times. you need to go to this AA place and show your regular license and pay some money to get this paper. complete waste of time and money in my opinion. but it was not the rental agencies fault. The rental location is a bit hard to find. we had trouble locating it at pick up and drop off. but the people there were very helpful and understanding.
I booked a car online for rental on 25th September to 26 September from the Katunayake airport location, Srilanka. On 25th when called the Katunayake airport location for pick up, they say car was not available. I couldn't get a car and my plans on that day was canceled because of some Sixt rental mistake.
