What HBS Rent a Car Customers Say

I rented a 2025 Honda Vezel from HBS Car Rental for one month and had an excellent experience. The car was clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition throughout the rental period. The service was smooth and hassle-free. Special thanks to Tharindi for the friendly communication, great support, and professional service. I’m very satisfied with the overall experience and highly recommend HBS Car Rental to anyone looking for a reliable car rental service in Sri Lanka! 🚗❤️

We hired a lovely economical Toyota from the fantastic team at HBS, from making the first enquiry to having the car collected ( we changed collection destinations a few days before too) the communication, professionalism was incredible. The cost of hiring a car worked out the same had we used private transfers, but with so much more freedom, we covered over 600km in the car and it became very much part of the memories, having your own transport is making every minute part of the holiday, you are no longer a travelling you are experiencing. HBS could of not done anything more from arranging our idl, to seamless collection at the airport to collection from our hotel it was truly the best experience I've had with car hire abroad and I've hired a lot of cars. We will definitely be going back for another car on our next trip to Sri Lanka. Thanks guys for helping us create even more memories
