Top tips for hiring a car in Cambodia
- The main advantage of Cambodia car rentals is the freedom to travel across the country without reliance on public transport. Car rentals in Cambodia also afford you the luxury and convenience to set your own schedule in a comfortable and reliable ride, whether you’re traveling solo or with the family in tow. Capital city Phnom Penh and Siem Reap are major cities connected by principal highways, while secondary roads allow access to attractions such as Kirirom National Park, approximately 130 km (80 miles) from Phnom Penh.
- When it comes to choosing the ideal Cambodia car rental, consider your budget expenses and the number of occupants. If you’re traveling on a tight budget, a smart compact or small sedan is teh best value for the money, whereas full-sized sedans and station wagons are recommended for family travel. Need more storage or seating space? Browse the list of passenger vans or minivans and select one that’s just right for you. If you’ve got an unlimited budget, premium SUVs or other luxury cars like convertibles are highly recommended.
- The most convenient place to obtain rental cars in Cambodia is at an airport car rental center. Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) and Siem Reap International Airport (REP) are the country’s largest airports, and international providers Avis and Europcar have offices at both locations. These offices are located within the airports’ terminal buildings and usually offer transport to the collection points if/when required. Always note the operating hours for the agency you choose to determine the best pickup and drop-off times.
- Once you choose a provider and location, it’s always a good idea to jot down the operating hours so you can establish the best time to pick up your car or van. Most providers, especially those at the international airports, provide after-hours return service for your convenience, and you should investigate the one-way policy for greater flexibility if your travel plans change.
- Book your car hire in Cambodia at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Full-size hire cars in Cambodia are around 5% cheaper than other car types, on average

What is driving like in Cambodia?
Always drive your rental car in Cambodia on the right side of the road and only use a hands-free mobile device to avoid fines. The use of rear seat belts is not mandated by law in Cambodia, but you should buckle up any minor passengers as a safety precaution. Additionally, any child under four years of age must be transported in a child seat. Pedestrian and motorcycle traffic are heavy in major city centers like Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Expect increased volumes of traffic congestion during the summer months, and be wary of pedestrians, motorcycles, and bicycles as you go.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cambodia?
The minimum age to rent a car in Cambodia is 21, and “young drivers” fees usually apply to any customer under 25 years of age. Young drivers are also restricted from renting vehicles like premium SUVs or luxury cars. Be sure to present your passport, return ticket, and valid driver’s license at the agency office along with your booking details if you’ve made an advanced reservation.
How are gas prices in Cambodia?
You should expect to pay approximately 5,300.000 KHR (1.30 USD) per liter and about 20,060.00 KHR (5 USD) per gallon of gasoline at the pump in Cambodia. If you’re driving a diesel car or van, the prices per liter are 5,000.000 KHR (1.20 USD), and per gallon 18,930.000 KHR (4.60 USD) are slightly less. In either case, gas prices in Cambodia are considerably cheaper than in many places in the U.S.
What are the speed limits in Cambodia?
Speed limits in Cambodia are posted in kilometers per hour (km/h), so here’s a handy conversion chart for U.S. motorists who are more familiar with miles per hour (mph). The maximum speed on national highways is 120 km/h, or 75 mph, but on roads through rural districts, the limit is 80 km/h (50 mph), and 40 km/h (25 mph) is required when driving through populated districts or commercial zones. Traffic cameras can be found on highways and in downtown areas, so observe speed limits at all times.
