For a Colombo Airport run, a private transfer was requested from Nilaveli for July 16 at 11:00. The booking details were 4 adults and 3 suitcases, which suggests needing a larger vehicle rather than a standard sedan.

For the Tangalle to Ella route, travelers were looking for a round-trip private transfer with a couple of days in Ella. The plan was around July 16–17 for 2 adults and a 3-year-old child, so it makes sense to ask about a child seat and the return leg when booking.
