Car Hire in Colombo Airport - Mini guide to Colombo Airport

The city of Colombo is the capital of Sri Lanka, so it is not surprising that Bandaranaike International Airport is the largest and busiest in the country. In fact, Colombo Airport is Sri Lanka's only international airport. Like many large airports throughout the world, it is actually located a short distance from the city. In this case, the airport is 22 miles (35 km) north of Colombo in Katunayake.

This airport offers an array of amenities comparable to those of other international airports. There are two restaurants, located in the departure lobby and the transit lounge. The transit lounge also provides day rooms and shower rooms. In the arrival lobby there are six banks which offer full exchange services to fliers. Airport facilities also include a post office, bar, and duty free shops. The Colombo Airport Lounge, is available to travelers with membership in a participating program or those flying first class. The information desk provides a copy machine and a fax machine that can be used by travelers.

Traveling from the airport to your hotel is also made simple at Colombo Airport. There are buses and taxis, as well as rental cars that can also include the services of a driver who knows the local area. A train station is located close to the airport too. However, most of the prominent hotels and tours offer transportation too and from the airport. Remember, when traveling internationally, it is best to arrange and confirm your arrangements personally prior to you arrival.

When landing in the airport, your first stop should be the car hire desk. With the use of a car hire, you can see many of the wonderful spots and shops located around the airport. But, the amenities of the airport are just perfect if you only want to stay a while.
