What happens if I need to cancel my Anuradhapura car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to the scheduled collection time, many prepaid reservations qualify for a full refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to familiarise yourself with the cancellation policy. Check your booking for the finer details or head to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.

Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for larger and luxury vehicles.

What side of the road do you drive on in Anuradhapura?
If you're renting a car in Anuradhapura or road-tripping around Sri Lanka, you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.

Yes, and you can find your perfect wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list awesome options from various reliable suppliers.

If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Anuradhapura, you'll need to check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
