Motorbike Hire Sri Lanka

The first thing you need to consider before renting a motorbike in Sri Lanka is how much money you have. The good news is that you don't need to worry about being ripped off because the rates are fixed at the point of sale. If you would like to hire a scooter, then expect to pay around $20 per day, but if you'd prefer something bigger, then you should look into hiring a bike. A standard bike costs around $30 per day, while a full-sized touring bike will run you between $40-$50 per day. It is important to note that these prices are only valid during daylight hours, however, they tend to increase outside of normal working hours.

When it comes to safety, Sri Lanka is one of the safest countries in South Asia. There are strict laws regarding driving and traffic offences, and penalties are severe. In fact, some people say that the law enforcement officers are even harsher than those in Western nations. For instance, the maximum fine for speeding is $100, whereas in Australia it could be over $1000. However, the best way to stay safe is to drive defensively. That means keeping your distance from vehicles ahead of you, and making sure that you follow the rules of the road. As long as you stick to the basic principles, then you shouldn't have any problems.

There are many places to visit in Sri Lanka, including the Galle Fort, Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Kandy Temple, Dambulla Cave Temple, and Horton Plains National Park. These are just a few of the many attractions that you can enjoy while visiting Sri Lanka.
