Private Airport Transfers in Cambodia

Cambodia's two main international airports, Techo International (KTI) for Phnom Penh and Siem Reap–Angkor International (SAI), serve the country's two most visited cities: the capital and the gateway to Angkor Wat. Both are new, and both are further out than the airports they replaced: KTI is about 24 km from central Phnom Penh and SAI about 50 km from Siem Reap. USD is widely accepted alongside Cambodian Riel; transfers are priced in USD. Grab operates in Cambodia (Phnom Penh and Siem Reap) as the main app-based ride service. Tuk-tuks are a traditional option in both cities, but not for the long airport runs. LocalsRide private car transfers lock in the USD price and driver details at booking — an air-conditioned vehicle significantly more comfortable than a tuk-tuk for arrivals with luggage after a long flight.

Phnom Penh: The Bustling Capital

Techo International Airport (KTI), which replaced Phnom Penh International in September 2025, is about 24 km south of the centre. The journey to Riverside guest houses, BKK1 (expat district), or Daun Penh takes 45–60 minutes. Traffic in Phnom Penh is notoriously congested and unpredictable — rush hours (07:30–09:00, 16:30–18:30) can double journey times. A pre-booked private car provides a driver who knows Phnom Penh's road conditions.

Siem Reap: Gateway to Angkor Wat

Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI), which replaced Siem Reap International in October 2023, is about 50 kilometres from the Old Market (Phsar Chas), the centre of the guesthouse and restaurant district. The journey takes 45–60 minutes on a new highway. Angkor Archaeological Park (the Angkor Wat complex) is 6 kilometres further — most visitors use Siem Reap town as a base for multiple days of temple exploration. A private car from the airport to your guesthouse or hotel is the most comfortable arrival experience.
