Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Matara?
Exciting road trip adventures await in Matara, with daily car rental rates starting from an impressive $48. That's based on prices found within the past seven days.
What happens if I need to cancel my Matara car reservation?
Read over your rental policy to be certain, but most rentals will receive a total refund if you advise us more than six hours before the scheduled collection time. There are some exemptions though. Your confirmation will have more information, or just jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Matara?
Matara has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Rent some wheels and take to the road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • Bentota is about 50 miles from Matara. Popular tourist attractions like Bentota Beach deserve to be high on your list here.
  • Why not enjoy the wonders of Kataragama too? Popular tourist attractions here include Kataragama Temple Complex. Kataragama is about 60 miles from Matara.
  • Venture into nature and appreciate the serenity at Dambulla Cave Temple. It's approximately 130 miles from Matara.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Matara with Expedia?
Finding an amazing deal on your Matara rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add some details and compare prices across major brands. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll unlock even more savings when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Matara?
Matara requires drivers to be at least 23 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Matara?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ from rental company to rental company, so be sure to read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Matara?
Unlike the United States, people in Matara drive on the left-hand side. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the car and its quirks before getting on the road.
What is the cheapest car rental in Matara?
Matara has no doubt had some very happy car rental customers lately. Daily rates within the past seven days were as low as $48 and $49. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Matara?
You can rent a car for a month or even longer in Matara, so go ahead and extend your stay! Just enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and secure your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Matara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Matara often depends on the rental company you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, but other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age range. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred rental company to avoid excessive charges when collecting your car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Matara?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a wise idea for your Matara getaway. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Matara with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Sri Lanka, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
