KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Phnom Penh
- Car rentals in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, offer flexible schedules and convenience to explore Phnom Penh and its surrounding areas at your own pace. You can customize your itinerary, visit multiple attractions, and take detours without being bound by public transportation schedules. Besides, a car rental allows you to easily access locations that may not be well-served by public transportation or are located off the beaten path, such as Wat Phnom and Phnom Chisor. It allows you to explore remote areas, rural landscapes, and hidden gems that may not be easily accessible by public transit.
- If you are arriving in Phnom Penh by air, you will likely land at Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH), the primary international gateway in and out of Cambodia. You won’t have challenges accessing car rentals in Phnom Penh at this facility, as the car rental center is conveniently located within the airport complex. Agencies such as Avis, Budget, Europcar, and Dollar all have counters in the terminal. Still, Avis and Europcar offer pick-up and shuttle services to their off-site locations. The working hours vary depending on the company, and checking with your preferred agency might be helpful.
- When driving car rentals in Phnom Penh, remember that the city has a mix of road conditions ranging from well-paved and maintained roads to roads with potholes, uneven surfaces, or limited signage. Major roads and highways connecting different areas of the city are generally in better condition, while smaller side streets and residential areas may have more variable road quality. Drivers in Cambodia often navigate traffic more assertively, and adherence to traffic rules and lane discipline may vary. It's crucial to stay alert, be patient, and anticipate the actions of other drivers while driving in the city.
- Phnom Penh suffers from heavy traffic congestion, especially during peak commuting hours and in densely populated areas. Traffic can be slow-moving, and reaching your destination may take longer than expected, particularly during rush hours. The morning rush occurs between 7:30 am and 9:30 am, while the snarl-up in the evening is between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Motorbikes and tuk-tuks (auto-rickshaws) are prevalent in Phnom Penh and are commonly used for transportation. They contribute to traffic congestion and can maneuver through narrow spaces, further affecting traffic flow.
