OneDriver.lk Wins Silver at BestWeb.LK 2026 Awards for Best Automotive Website

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

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

OneDriver began as Drink’nDrive, a service designed to help customers get home safely in their own vehicles after a night out. Professional drivers would travel to customers and drive both them and their vehicles 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 a leading Driver-as-a-Service provider in Sri Lanka.

A key part of the company’s transformation has been its partnership with HighFlyer Global, which has supported technology development, engineering and strategic guidance. The partnership has helped transform OneDriver’s early handwritten booking system into an integrated ERP platform covering bookings, driver allocation, pricing, tracking, notifications, invoicing and payments.

The platform also incorporates agentic AI capabilities, allowing management to access business insights and initiate actions through natural-language queries. OneDriver’s internal driver application is available in Sinhala, Tamil and English, supporting its diverse workforce.

Despite its technology-driven operations, OneDriver has deliberately chosen not to introduce a customer-facing app. Customers can instead make bookings simply by calling or sending a WhatsApp message.

Founder Lakmal Wijesiri said the company’s approach is focused on making the customer experience simpler.

“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.”

Wijesiri added that the award reflects OneDriver’s journey from a simple handwritten booking operation to a technology-driven service supporting thousands of customers.

“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,” he said.

The BestWeb.LK recognition highlights OneDriver’s continued investment in technology while retaining a customer-first approach to its expanding Driver-as-a-Service operations.
