You just saw it work — here's the detail
It works exactly like the map above: a traveler requests a quote, drivers in range send their price, and the customer picks their driver. From radius to payout, here's the whole flow.
Pin your home town and choose a working range — 10 km to island-wide. That circle defines the jobs you'll be offered.
Any tour beginning inside your radius pings your phone with dates, route, party size and your exact earnings.
Quote your price in one tap. The customer compares quotes from verified drivers and picks theirs — win on price, reviews and profile. Pass freely, no penalty.
Complete the tour, collect the balance on day one, and your deposit share lands in your bank in the weekly payout run.
Built around how you actually work
No touts, no auctions, no paying to appear higher. Just steady work at your own price — for drivers and licensed tour guides alike.
Range-based job alerts
Set your base town and working radius. A quote request inside your circle pings your phone — quote your price and win the job. No fees to appear higher, no favoritism.
You set your rate
Publish your own daily rate. Every job that reaches you is already at your price, so there's nothing to negotiate at pickup.
Your calendar, your rules
Block dates in one tap — family time, servicing, your own plans. Blocked dates mean no alerts and no penalties.
Reliable money
Travelers pay a 50% deposit up front. Your share lands in your bank in the weekly run; the balance is handed to you on day one.
A badge that means something
Every driver and guide is document-checked by a human. Travelers trust the platform because verification is real — and that trust becomes your bookings.
A real driver app
Accept jobs, manage your calendar and track earnings from the Serendib Driver app for iOS and Android.
Keep more of every fare
A flat 15% commission — published, never hidden. You set the daily rate, travelers pay a 50% deposit up front, and your share is transferred to your Sri Lankan bank account every week. The trip balance is handed to you directly on day one.
Illustrative only. Every job alert shows your exact earnings before you accept.
Before you register
How much does it cost to join?
Nothing. No listing fee, no monthly fee. The platform takes a flat 15% commission on completed bookings — your exact share is shown on every job alert before you accept.
What do I need to register as a driver?
A valid driving licence, vehicle registration and insurance, photos of your vehicle, and your SLTDA tourist-driver or chauffeur-guide licence if you hold one (it earns a higher badge tier). Approval usually takes 1–2 business days.
Can I join as a tour guide without a vehicle?
Yes. SLTDA-licensed national tour guides can register without a vehicle and offer guided day tours and multi-day itineraries. You can also add a vehicle later to offer driving services too.
How do job alerts work?
You set a base location and a radius — 10 km to island-wide. Any tour request inside that circle triggers a push notification with dates, route and party size. Send your quote in one tap; the customer compares quotes from verified drivers and guides and picks one.
When do I get paid?
The traveler's deposit is held by the platform; your share (deposit minus commission) is transferred to your Sri Lankan bank account weekly. The remaining half of the fare is paid to you directly by the traveler at tour start.
Can I decline jobs?
Always, with no penalty — the alert simply passes to other drivers and guides in range.
