How to get in, out, and around Phnom Penh
From getting to Phnom Penh from the airport or out of town for a weekend break, we’ve got you covered.
Getting around town
Phnom Penh is a sprawling city and very hot. There are very few crosswalks, and sidewalks are used for parking. All said, Phnom Penh is not a pedestrian-friendly city. Most locals, expats, and tourists choose to get around by bicycle, moto, tuk tuk, or taxi.
Tuk tuks offer a pleasant way to traverse Phnom Penh.
Tuk tuks are generally the most pleasant way to travel. Whether you’re going to be in Phnom Penh for a week or for a year, it makes sense to get to know a few tuk tuk drivers. Using the same driver regularly means lower prices, less hassle, and much less time spent explaining where it is you are trying to go. It’s also easier to have a regular in your neighborhood (or outside your hotel) so you don’t need to call and wait for a driver every time you want to go somewhere. Read our tips for taking tuk tuks in Phnom Penh (with a sample price list).If you don’t want to build a relationship with a local driver, Phnom Penh now has ride-hailing apps that you can download, and the cost is often less than hiring someone off the street. The primary ones are PassApp and Grab. Grab even lets you pay with your credit card, so no cash is required.
Bicycle and moto rentals
You can rent motos by the day, week, or month from Lucky Lucky! Motorcycle Shop, Phnom Penh’s most popular (with expats, anyway) moto rental and travel agency. The cost is $4 per day or $5 for an automatic, $25 for a week or $30 for an automatic, or $60 for a month or $70 for an automatic. You will need to leave your passport as collateral.

Rent a moto and take it for a spin.
Vannak Motorcycle Shop on Street 130 near the riverside is the place to go if you’re looking for more powerful bikes. They rent Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha dirt bikes, choppers, sports bikes, plus the more standard models, including the Honda Dream. They rent bikes by the day, week, or month with prices starting at $5 per day or $35 per week. Some of the bigger models, like the Honda Shadow, go for around $50 per day. Vannak also sells, repairs, and services motos.
