Question 1

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Kandy is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is a bit on the empty side, we can give you a few hints and tips.

Royal Botanical Garden is a notable attraction in this impressive city. Pop in and discover what makes it so alluring.

Close to the city center, Temple of the Tooth is one attraction to consider putting on your to-do list. Kandy Lake and Royal Palace of Kandy are also close by and worth checking out.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Kandy?

Accepted Answer

Visit Kandy for its exceptional character and style. That being said, you also have world-famous sights within easy access. Dambulla is only 40 miles away and the home of Dambulla Cave Temple. It's well worth a day trip.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Kandy?

Accepted Answer

No matter your motoring needs in Kandy, CarRentals.com will take you from A to B quickly and efficiently. If you're in the city for work, a premium car is a great fit. These vehicles boast high-quality finishes, lavish interiors, and a host of contemporary features. Traveling on a budget and need to save a few dollars? A mini or a compact car may be an excellent choice. These smaller vehicles are cheaper to run and awesome when it comes to zooming around city streets. If you have the kids (and plenty of luggage) in tow, a full-size SUV will give you all the room and space you need.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Kandy?

Accepted Answer

First of all, there's a broad range of luxury rental vehicles in Kandy. What you end up going with depends on your budget and what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not grab an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps an upmarket mid-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you just need something to get you from A to B as economically as possible, maybe go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).

Question 5

What side of the road do they drive on in Kandy?

Accepted Answer

In Kandy, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. That means the driver's seat is on the right-hand side. If your rental vehicle has a manual transmission, you'll have to get used to shifting gears with your left hand.

Question 6

Is it difficult to park in Kandy?

Accepted Answer

It can be difficult to find a parking space in Kandy. Once you get your hands on one, make sure you pay close attention to the signage. Staying over the time limit or parking where you shouldn't can put a dent in your vacation budget.

Question 7

Does Kandy have peak-hour traffic?

Accepted Answer

One of the great things about hitting the road in a smaller city is less traffic, so don't worry too much about rush-hour gridlock. With a population of about 111,700, you can look forward to a smooth Kandy driving experience.
