Get Prepared

Extraordinary adventure, unforgettable experience

Let's Get You Driving a Tuktuk!

But first, let us give you some background information. TukTukRental.com is a social business. Our goal is to improve the lives and incomes of tuktuk owners, by renting their asset to tourists for self-drive adventures in paradise.

By renting out these tuktuks from locals (instead of purchasing our own fleet to utilize commercially), we give back to our community while also providing you with life-changing experiences. We believe the most authentic and best way to travel anywhere in the world is to travel like a local, and travelling like a local opens the door to many places not available by traditional or mainstream tourist routes. This allows you to embrace local culture, cuisine, and lifestyle while interacting with communities and sharing experiences.

Before you can drive a tuktuk in Sri Lanka, let us give you some background information on things you need to know! Don’t worry though, we here to guide you through the process and driving a tuktuk is actually pretty easu and straighforward!

quality tuktuks rented from locals to boost their income

tuktukrental.com is a social business that doesn’t own any tuktuks. In fact, we source all of our tuktuks from local tuktuk drivers who have some of the lowest salaries in Asia. We make sure everything from arrival to departure is sorted out so you only have to worry about enjoying yourself.

To date, we support around 120 families and you have contributed over $250.000 to the owners of the tuktuk!

Insurance (Tuktuk and Personal)​

We have insurance for all parties. This means you, your vehicle and third-party vehicle as well as people are covered by our insurance. This is standard for all vehicles and included in the rental price. Which covers damage to the vehicle, other vehicles, and other people, BUT it’s still extremely important to have your own travel insurance in case of a mishap, and especially in the event of personal injury. TukTuks aren’t commonly written on insurance papers either so we suggest you make sure you are covered for both car and motorcycle – this will prevent you running into any trouble if you need to make a claim.

If you are looking for travel insurance that covers tuktuks, we have found SAFETYWING. They offer quite reasonable rates too!

Prices start a $37/ 4 Weeks and include:

  1. Travel medical – Access a qualified global network of hospitals and doctors for unexpected medical problems and accidents. Includes coverage for: Doctors, Hospitals, Emergency medical evacuation.
