Crowded city streets and narrow parking spots are no issue for an economy car — the most in-demand type of rental in Poddala. Get behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and with excellent mileage, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Poddala can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are other options to consider.

  • Head off to Kataragama for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Around 129 kilometres from Poddala, it has many great sights like Kataragama Temple Complex.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Poddala?
Drivers have to be at least 23. But there are several age-related rules you should be aware of before reserving your Poddala wheels. If you're a young motorist, most rental outlets will charge an additional daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge amount, and which ages it applies to, varies between providers. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Poddala?
The main things are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Poddala?
In Poddala, like the rest of Sri Lanka, you drive on the left-hand side. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the opposite side if you've never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Poddala?
You can, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Poddala and drive off with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Poddala car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found a Poddala outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Awesome! Just keep in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
