Casons Rent-A-Car, one of the oldest rental car
operators in Sri Lanka had a unique achievement
when they were selected as the official transport
partner for US Air force for their Tbilateral exercise,
‘Atlas Angel,’ led by the Montana National Guard,
commenced. The 10-day event was held at both
SLAF Base Katunayake and SLAF Academy China
Bay.
The Atlas Angel also included the deployment of two
C130 mega aircraft. The event was also attended by
the Maldives National Defense Forces and civilian
experts from the Disaster Management Centre.
Casons Rent-A-Car was selected by the USA’s ‘Atlas
Angel,’ as the total logistic / transport supplier over
several other leading local providers. “One of the key
factors that the US ‘Atlas Angel,’ selected Casons
Rent-A-Car, was our proven track record for over two
decades and the large and devised range of our
vehicle fleet numbering over 1,000 of vehicles which
helped the US to fill their requirements successfully.”
He also said that the feedback they received after the completion of the event was also very positive.
“Casons provided around 20 vehicles which included luxury Cars, Vans, large Coaches with
experienced drivers to complete this 10-day project successfully,” a member from Casons said.
To ensure a smooth operation we also deployed a special technical team throughout the project.”
Casons Rent-A-Car, which has won numerous awards including the South Asia’s Best Land Transport
provider accolade currently has a fleet that includes over 60 4WD Jeeps, 50 Vans, 200 Cars, Double
Cabs, Luxury Coaches, Lorries etc.
“We also operate an Airport counter which is mainly sought-after by high end tourists. “We have many
repeat guests who patronize this service and they have asked us why Sri Lanka is using an aging fleet
of vehicles as some of them are unaware of the current vehicle import ban.
“Hence we must thank the government for allowing the import of 1,000 luxury vehicles for the tourism
sector which will boost the first impression of a tourist in transport.” The ‘Atlas Angel’ exercise includes
six Subject Matter Expert Exchanges (SMEEs), focusing on C-130 Pilot Exchange, C-130 Aviation
Maintenance, and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR).
