A car ride from Pasikuda to Kandy was offered for 10,000 LKR with space for 1–2 passengers. That gives a useful benchmark for a private transfer if you cannot arrange a local rental.

There was also a separate question about where to rent a car anywhere in Sri Lanka, confirming that self-drive or hired car rental is a standard transport option across the island, not only in major cities.

Travelers were also looking for a car rental service specifically in Trincomalee, which suggests that on the east coast it makes sense to search locally in resort areas, not only in Colombo.
