The Hertz Story
Hertz Sri Lanka is positioned at the island's key arrival and travel hubs - from Bandaranaike International Airport on the west coast to Colombo City, the historical south, and the highland centre of Kandy. Whether you land at the airport and want a vehicle waiting, or you're already on the road and need a convenient drop-off point, our branch network is designed around the way travellers actually move through this island.
Hertz in Sri Lanka
Hertz Sri Lanka operates as an authorised franchise of Hertz Global Holdings, bringing the full weight of the international brand directly to the roads of this island. We serve international tourists arriving at Bandaranaike International Airport, corporate clients operating across Colombo and the regions, long-stay visitors requiring extended vehicle access, and travellers who simply want to explore Sri Lanka on their own terms. Our fleet spans economy through luxury. Our locations cover the island's key arrival and travel hubs. And our team is built entirely around one goal: delivering the Hertz standard here, on these roads, for the people who choose to drive them.

What we stand behind
01
Fleet Quality
Every vehicle meets Hertz's international maintenance and presentation standard before any customer collects it. Inspected, cleaned, and verified. Not approximately ready - ready.
02
Zero Surprise Pricing
What you reserve is what you pay at the counter. No hidden charges discovered on the day. No unexpected fees added after the fact. We put everything on the table before you confirm.
03
Tourism-First Service
We understand that international visitors to Sri Lanka are often navigating an unfamiliar country in a rental car for the first time. Our service is built to make that experience warm, clear, and genuinely easy from start to finish.
04
On-Ground Reliability
From airport pickup to roadside assistance, we back every rental with responsive, professional support. If something goes wrong on the road, you have a number to call and a team that answers it.
The Hertz Sri Lanka fleet covers every category a traveller on this island could need. Economy cars that handle Colombo traffic and coastal drives efficiently. Compact SUVs that balance city manoeuvrability with genuine highland capability. Full-size saloons for the traveller who prioritises comfort across long distances. Premium and luxury vehicles for occasions that call for something above the ordinary. And MPVs that carry families and groups without compromise on space or comfort. Every vehicle - regardless of category - is maintained to the same Hertz international standard and prepared before collection.
