What a Viyalimo Fixed Price Includes (and What It Doesn't)
The line-by-line answer to the most common question we get at the kerb: is this really the whole price?

Included in every transfer
- The chauffeur's time, from the moment you land to the moment you arrive
- Fuel
- Motorway tolls and bridge crossings
- Airport parking and the meet-and-greet inside arrivals
- Waiting time after landing, tracked to your flight number
- Water, phone charging and a child seat if you asked for one
Included in chauffeured hire
- The car and driver for the hours you booked
- Fuel and tolls inside those hours
- Waiting time between your stops
Not included
- Extra hours beyond the booking, or stops added on the day — we quote these before they happen, not after
- Parking at venues where you ask the driver to wait in a paid car park
- Anything the driver buys on your behalf
What about traffic?
Traffic is our risk, not yours. The price is set by route and vehicle class, so a bad evening on the ring road does not change the number you agreed.
Why we show twenty per cent off
Our published fares carry a standing twenty per cent reduction, shown on every price screen before you confirm. It is not a seasonal promotion and it does not depend on a code — it is simply the price we sell at, displayed honestly.
One price, two ways to pay
You can pay online by card and receive a voucher immediately, or pay the chauffeur in the car. The amount is the same, and the confirmation email is the same.
Prefer to have it arranged for you?
Send us your flight, dates and luggage; we confirm the car and the price before you land.
