  • I've traveled a lot, but never had a taxi experience like this. Rymgo stands for more than just to get you from A to B. … It really is an all inclusive experience.

Payment held until your trip ends

Rymgo holds your online payment until the trip is done, whether you pay in full or pay the 15% deposit. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, with a full refund.

One all-inclusive price

Fuel, tolls, parking and waiting time are in the offer, and so is the driver's own accommodation on multi-day trips. The price you accept is the price you pay.

Checked before a driver goes live

Rymgo reviews each driver's licence, vehicle registration and passenger liability insurance before their profile goes live, so you choose from profiles we have looked at.

Why we built Rymgo

We were the friends people messaged with one question: do you know a driver I can trust? We answered by hand, with a name we knew personally. Rymgo is how we do that for every traveller now: the same care, with the choice in your hands. Drivers send you offers, you meet each one on their profile before you decide, and you know exactly who is coming to pick you up.

Frequently asked questions

What is Rymgo?↓

Rymgo is a private driver marketplace for Sri Lanka. You post your trip, verified drivers send all-inclusive offers, and you choose.

How are drivers verified?↓

Every listed driver's ID, driving licence, vehicle registration and passenger liability insurance are reviewed by Rymgo before their profile goes live. Where a driver holds a tourist chauffeur licence (Sri Lanka Tourism), it shows as a badge on their profile, so you can see it before you choose.

How do offers work?↓

You post your journey. Tell us where, when, and how many passengers. Verified drivers reply with blind, all-inclusive offers. You see each driver's profile, vehicle, reviews, and price before choosing. Pick with confidence. Your price is locked at booking.

Is the price really all-inclusive?↓

Yes. Every offer on Rymgo is all-inclusive. Fuel, tolls, parking, and waiting time are covered. Drivers agree to these terms before submitting an offer. Charging extra is a platform violation.

What if my driver cancels or doesn't show up?↓

If a driver cancels a confirmed booking, or doesn't show, we notify nearby verified drivers immediately and search for a replacement. If we can't find a replacement in time, you receive a full refund and goodwill credit. Until your trip is complete, your payment stays with Rymgo. Reach us via the contact form on rymgo.com or by email at hello@rymgo.com. A real person replies, 6am–midnight Sri Lanka time, 7 days a week. We coordinate the replacement directly.

How do I pay?↓

You pay securely online by credit or debit card. Two options. Option B: pay in full upfront (recommended). Your payment is held by Rymgo until your trip ends, plus a 24-hour dispute window for extra protection if anything goes wrong. Option A: pay a 15% deposit online, pay the driver 85% in cash at trip end. You keep your money until the day, and Rymgo holds the deposit until your trip is confirmed complete. Currently card payments are charged in Sri Lankan Rupees( LKR).

What if I need to cancel?↓

Cancel more than 48 hours before pickup for a full refund, sent to the card you paid with in the currency charged. Within 48 hours of pickup, or on a no-show, there is no refund: you forfeit everything paid, deposit or full amount. Booking within 48 hours of pickup? A short window lets you cancel free, the Cancellation Policy page has the details. Questions: hello@rymgo.com.

When can I reach you?↓

Reach us via the contact form on rymgo.com. A real person is on hand 6am–midnight Sri Lanka time, 7 days a week. For non-urgent questions, email hello@rymgo.com.

How quickly will I get offers?↓

Once you post, your booking page shows how long drivers have to send offers. You can wait for more, or book the moment one feels right.

Post your trip, then choose the driver you want.
