Tourist Tips for Sri Lanka

Colombo Advantage: Colombo has the most options and best infrastructure. Uber Eats is safest for tourists. Other cities have limited delivery options.
Cash on Delivery: Most local apps prefer cash payment. Have Sri Lankan rupees ready. Credit card processing is slower and sometimes fails.
Get a Local SIM: Highly recommended. Available at airport, costs LKR 500-1000. Drivers will call/WhatsApp youβ€”critical for delivery confirmation.
Delivery Times: Expect 30-60 minutes in Colombo. Traffic can cause delays. Order during non-peak hours (avoid lunch and dinner rushes).
Tipping Culture: Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory. 10% for good service is customary. Many drivers rely on tips so generosity is valued.
Address Format: Sri Lankan addresses can be complex. Include full street name, area/lane number, landmark if possible. Written address + phone number works best for driver navigation.
