The self-drive tuk-tuks transforming travel in Sri Lanka
A recent BBC article highlights a unique and immersive way to explore Sri Lanka: by renting tuk‑tuks. It explains how specialized rental services handle the logistics for tourists—arranging temporary local permits, lessons, insurance, and reliable vehicles—making it possible to navigate the country’s scenic cultural routes at an slower pace.
This trend is gaining global attention, with BBC Travel naming Sri Lanka one of “The 25 Best Places to Travel in 2025,” and specifically spotlighting this self-drive tuk‑tuk method of transport as an innovative way for travelers to enjoy the island’s landscapes with rental fees going directly to local vehicle owners.
