Important Legal Requirement in Sri Lanka
A standard International Driving Permit (IDP) or foreign license alone is NOT legally valid for driving a 3-wheeler (Tuk Tuk) in Sri Lanka. Traffic police strictly enforce this rule. Without an official AAC endorsement, driving is illegal and voids your insurance coverage. We eliminate all stress by securing your legal endorsement before you touch down!
