Here are your options when taking a private transfer between Siem Reap Angkor Airport and Siem Reap city centre:

Taxi-hailing Apps

Taxi apps Grab and PassApp are usually the most budget-friendly option, with prices starting at $25 (102,000 KHR) for 4 pax.

Just bear in mind that fares can vary throughout the day with these ride-hailing apps.

Private car via BookAway

If you prefer booking in advance, BookAway offers private transfers you can arrange before your flight. It’s a straightforward option with trusted drivers and reliable service. For large groups, prices start from $78 (320,000 KHR) for a minivan that fits up to 10 passengers.

You’ll pay a bit more for the convenience, but everything is sorted before you land.

Airport Taxi

You can also book a private taxi or minivan at the transportation desk on the ground floor of the airport.

Taxi fares from Siem Reap Airport to the city centre are fixed. A private car for one to three passengers costs $35 (142,000 KHR), while a minivan for up to five people costs $45 (184,000 KHR). If you're heading outside the city, you’ll need to agree on a price with the driver before the trip.

Airport taxis are available from 06:30 to 23:00.

If you want to try local transport straight away, tuk-tuks are available when travelling from Siem Reap Airport to the city centre. Fares usually range from $15 (61,000 KHR) to $25 (102,000 KHR) for a maximum of 4 people.

Tuk-tuk drivers are known for overcharging tourists, and there are no official rates, so it’s important to agree on the fare before you get in.

It's worth noting that tuk-tuks are often open-air vehicles — prone to heat, rain, and dust. It was a popular mode of transport from the old Siem Reap Airport, which was only 20 minutes away. But now that the journey takes 1h - 1h 30m, it's not the most comfortable way to start your trip.

Where to find tuk-tuks at Siem Reap Airport

Most drivers wait in the general car park, a short walk from the arrivals area. If you don’t find any there, you may need to head towards the main road just outside the airport gates.

You can also book a tuk-tuk through Grab or PassApp, with fares starting from $15 (61,000 KHR). It’s cheaper than hailing one on the spot, and you don’t have to haggle.

IMPORTANT: There have been some reports of luggage theft in Siem Reap, even from a moving tuk-tuk. It's best to place your luggage and smaller bags close to you at all times. Refrain from wearing expensive jewelry and don’t flash your gadgets throughout the ride.
