Terry Cabs was built on a simple belief: that how you get there is just as important as where you're going. We are a small, trusted, family-run taxi and tour service based in Kegalle, Sri Lanka — and every journey we take is personal.
Founder & Lead Driver · Kegalle, Sri Lanka
"I have lived in Kegalle my whole life. I know every road, every hidden waterfall, every roadside kade that serves the best hoppers. My goal has always been simple — to share what I love about Sri Lanka with every passenger who sits in my car."
Terry Cabs started in 2016 with one vehicle and one driver — Mr. Dimuthu, a Kegalle native with a deep knowledge of Sri Lanka's roads, culture, and hidden gems. What began as a local cab service quickly grew through word of mouth, repeat bookings from international tourists, and a reputation built entirely on honesty and reliability.
Over the years, the service expanded to cover airport transfers, multi-day custom tours, and island-wide travel. Passengers from the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Japan, and across Asia have trusted Terry Cabs to get them safely from Bandaranaike Airport to their first Sri Lankan adventure — and back again when their holiday was over.
What makes Terry Cabs different is not the vehicles or the rates — it is the human connection. Dimuthu takes genuine pride in his island and in every passenger he carries. He learns your name, remembers your interests, and makes recommendations based on what you want to experience, not a generic tourist checklist. Many guests return to Sri Lanka and ask for him specifically.
Today, Terry Cabs operates island-wide, serving Kegalle residents and international tourists alike — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Eight years of growth, one passenger at a time
Terry Cabs has grown steadily not through advertising campaigns or paid promotions, but through the most powerful force in the travel industry — genuine word of mouth. Every milestone in our story is tied to a real passenger who trusted us, enjoyed their journey, and told a friend.
We are proud to be a small business that has remained true to its founding values throughout this growth. We do not cut corners on safety, we do not quote one price and charge another, and we never let a passenger feel like just a booking number.
Get in TouchTerry Cabs launches with one vehicle. First clients are local families and nearby hotel guests needing airport transfers to Colombo CMB.
Word spreads among international tourists. Airport transfer bookings grow significantly — UK and Australian visitors become regular clients.
Passengers begin requesting full Sri Lanka tour packages. The first 5-day and 7-day custom island tours are offered and sold out consistently.
Fleet servicing schedule tightened. All vehicles deep-cleaned and sanitised regularly. Client communication moves fully to WhatsApp for instant response.
Terry Cabs formally expands coverage to all 9 provinces of Sri Lanka, with regular routes to Jaffna, Trincomalee, Arugam Bay, and Yala.

The values that guide every single journey we make
Every vehicle is regularly serviced and inspected. Every driver holds a valid professional licence. We will never rush a journey at the cost of your safety.
We quote a fixed price before the trip. No hidden fees, no meter tricks, no surprise charges at the end. What we say is what you pay.
We understand that flights, tours, and connections have no flexibility. We plan ahead, track your flight, and arrive early — every time.
You are not a booking reference. We remember your name, your preferences, and your story. Many of our clients have become friends.
We share our island with genuine pride. Our local knowledge — the best viewpoints, the safest roads, the authentic food stops — comes from a lifetime of living here.
Terry Cabs employs local drivers, supports local guesthouses, and recommends local restaurants. Every journey you take with us supports the Kegalle community.
These are not just words — they are what every Terry Cabs journey is built on.
Clean, serviced vehicles. Professional, licensed drivers. No rushed driving.
We track flights, monitor traffic, and plan routes in advance. If anything changes, we tell you immediately.
No post-trip surprises. No extra charges for luggage, extra stops, or late nights.
We do not rush you at stops. We wait as long as you need. Your itinerary, your schedule.
We send you to the restaurants and experiences we personally love — not the ones that give us commission.
Every passenger who sits in my car becomes my responsibility. I don't just drive people from A to B — I make sure they arrive safely, on time, and with a story worth telling.
— Mr. Dimuthu, Terry Cabs
Real feedback from real travellers across the world
"Dimuthu met us at CMB airport at 2am after a very long flight from London. He was warm, professional, and the car was spotless. He even had cold water waiting for us. We booked him again for our entire 7-day tour. Absolute legend."
"We hired Dimuthu for a 5-day circuit and he took us to places we would never have found on our own — a tiny tea shop in the hills, a viewpoint with no other tourists, a family guesthouse in Ella that was perfect. He is the kind of guide you can't find in a brochure."
"Sehr zuverlässig und pünktlich! Dimuthu picked us up for a dawn safari and was waiting outside at 4:30am, ready and smiling. Clear English, helpful, and genuinely passionate about Sri Lanka. We will absolutely use Terry Cabs again."
"CMB airport eke inda kegalle yana ganita Terry Cabs use karanawa. Always time ekati, mehema honda service ekak denna kisi keneku nam naE. Highly recommend everyone to."
"Dimuthu san was wonderful. He spoke clearly, drove safely, and knew everything about each place we visited. He recommended an amazing local restaurant in Galle that was the best meal of our trip. Thank you so much!"
"Booked Terry Cabs for our honeymoon tour — Sigiriya, Ella, Mirissa. Dimuthu treated every stop like it mattered. He surprised us with fresh king coconuts at the top of Sigiriya. We genuinely couldn't have asked for more."
Terry Cabs is not just a travel business — it is a part of the Kegalle community. We are proud to operate as a fully local, Sri Lankan-owned service that reinvests directly into the community we grew up in.
We work exclusively with local guesthouses and boutique hotels when recommending overnight accommodation to our guests. We direct tourists to family-run restaurants and roadside food stalls rather than large tourist chains. We share our Sri Lankan culture — the food, the festivals, the people — with every passenger who comes aboard.
When you choose Terry Cabs, you are not just booking a taxi. You are supporting a Sri Lankan family business, contributing to the local economy of Kegalle, and helping ensure that authentic, community-based tourism continues to thrive on this beautiful island.
Whether it's an airport pickup, a day trip to Pinnawala, or a full 10-day island tour — we're here and ready.
