Your transfer to Courtyard by Marriott Colombo
Courtyard by Marriott Colombo is in Colombo 2, 39 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 45 minutes in normal traffic.
Courtyard by Marriott Colombo is close to the centre of Colombo, so the end of the drive is the city itself — the stretch that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Colombo, but arriving in the afternoon rush is not the same journey as arriving at dawn.
For a sense of the shape of the journey: Courtyard by Marriott Colombo is about 29 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 39 kilometres the road actually covers.
The nearest hotel on this site is Uga Residence in Colombo 7, a few minutes on foot.

How this transfer works
One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number and the arrival is tracked, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car.
The return leg from Courtyard by Marriott Colombo is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 45 min back to that.
