OneDriver.lk wins Silver at BestWeb.LK 2026

OneDriver.lk has been awarded Silver in the Best Automotive Website category at the BestWeb.LK 2026 awards, marking an important milestone in the company’s digital transformation and continued growth.

The award, presented on 12 August 2026, recognises OneDriver’s evolution from a manually operated driver-booking service into a technology-enabled Driver-as-a-Service company, while retaining its focus on safety, reliability and personal customer service.

OneDriver began with Drink’nDrive, a simple concept designed to help customers get home safely in their own vehicles after a night out. A professional driver would travel to the customer and drive both the customer and their vehicle home. The service has since expanded under the OneDriver brand to include airport transfers, corporate travel, events, long-distance journeys, tourism and vehicle servicing.

Today, OneDriver serves more than 2,500 customers through a network of over 35 professional drivers, operating around the clock. The company has positioned itself as Sri Lanka’s leading Driver-as-a-Service provider and the country’s only deeply technology-integrated operator in the sector.

A significant part of this transformation has been its partnership with HighFlyer Global, which has provided technology development, engineering and strategic guidance. The partnership has transformed OneDriver’s early handwritten booking process into an integrated ERP platform covering bookings, driver allocation, pricing, tracking, notifications, invoicing and payments.

The platform also incorporates agentic AI capabilities, enabling management to ask questions in natural language, access business insights and initiate actions. Meanwhile, OneDriver’s internal driver application is available in Sinhala, Tamil and English, helping make the service more accessible to its diverse team.

Despite its technology-driven operations, OneDriver has deliberately chosen not to introduce a customer-facing app. Instead, customers can simply call or send a WhatsApp message to make a booking.

Founder of OneDriver, Lakmal Wijesiri, said the company’s approach is centred on making the customer experience easier. “Technology should make a service simpler, not more complicated. Our customers don’t need another app. They simply want to speak to a real person, book a driver and know that they can get home safely. Behind that simple experience, we have built the technology and systems needed to deliver a reliable and efficient service.”

He added that the BestWeb.LK recognition reflects the company’s journey and its partnership with HighFlyer. “We started with handwritten bookings and a simple idea. Today, we have a technology-driven operation serving thousands of customers. This award is a recognition of that journey and the work of everyone who has helped us grow.”
