Airport taxi price increase?
Two years ago, I paid $7 for a taxi from the airport to my hotel in Doun Penh. This May, I was quoted $15 for the same trip although they did come down to $12. I opted for a tuk tuk for $8. Is $12 the going rate for taxis now?

I believe 12$ is the going rate now for most of Daun Penh. I think beyond Sihanouk Blvd I think it might be a dollar more? Anyway, yeah 12 bucks is a going rate. Honestly I think you might be mistaken about how much you paid two yeara ago (or you got lucky). I think it's been over ten dollars for at least 5 years if not longer.

Perhaps I was mistaken. A lot of alcohol has been consumed since then.kansaicanuck wrote:I believe 12$ is the going rate now for most of Daun Penh.

At least 2 cheaper options,
-The train, free until July
-pass app, set up the app on yr phone. Should be around $5

Grab is currently probably the cheapest of the ride hail apps with all their promotions. Grab Tuktuk around or under $3 to anywhere in central PP and Justgrab (car) ~$5. And Grab has train+grab combo promotion which would be free if you are going to riverside/bkk/russian market/toul kork areas.logos wrote:At least 2 cheaper options,

And of course there is the city bus option too.
For what it's worth, PassApp cost me 14,xxx Riel from the Airport to the Russian Market area.
Okay, that IS cheap, probably a good idea to try that app next time.penhster wrote:For what it's worth, PassApp cost me 14,xxx Riel from the Airport to the Russian Market area.

Go out from airport and on the right hand =
- Taxi to downtown = 8$
- Same for tuk-tuk = 5$
Just a few meter of walk from arrival area.

airport taxi and tucks have fixed prices decided by a company. if you want to get it cheaper just get out of the airport
I just use the taxi or Tuktuk, for going to the airport. For into town I just walk outside and take the bus. 1500 Riel.
