Booking online through Camboticket is also a convenient option. Taxis booked online are SUV types and will provide more room than the usual taxis you can find on the streets. Booking online starts at $60 for a 4 person car.
Lastly, you can also opt for rideshare. You can find a rideshare stand at Psar Dang Kor Taxi Park along Mao Tse Toung Boulevard. A ride will cost $5 per person, but you’ll have to wait until the taxi is full.
