The first driver who took us from Ho Chi Minh City to the Moc Bai border was fantastic. He drove very safely and his car was safe and clean. However, the driver that picked us up on the Bavet Border on the Cambodia side to Phnom Penh was very tired. He nearly crashed head on with other vehicles many times. One of the seatbelts in his vehicle was also damaged. I had to shout at him several times to keep him awake. I was very scared the entire drive from Bavet to Phnom Penh.

Its not a first time tourist friendly way to go to Cambodia from Vietnam. Im a Philippine Passport holder Upon arrival to the Vietnam exit boarder driver pointed us to the boarder and left. The Vietnamese boarder ask for 100,000 vietnamese dong. Then after that I went to enter cambodia for Philippine passport they boarder ask for entry stamp fee of $12! Overall I stayed in cambodia with 3 of my family for just 1 night and 2 days. This land boarder are scammers. None speak english they will just ask for money. Our vietnamese driver to pick us up is few minutes late no english and left us in the boarder. Were clueless of what to do just followed the people the passengers of bus is better situation because the bus crosses the boarder. I choose to get taxi for higher price expecting a better experience. Wrong. Just go in group. Finding the cambodian driver is also a challenge because no one is coordinating to me who will pick us up where to pick up. The coordinator from vietnam said he only handles vietnamese side. But he help us with trying to reach cambodian. Now the car of cambodian is old ac is weak. Both driver’s are kind and nice BUT the entire trip or experience of crossing boarder using taxi that pays more i will never recommend. Its not comfortable and more expensive that bus.

Really cool that you offer this transportation from Vietnam to Cambodia! But when I ordered a van/limousine bus and gave the info about 5 luggage, I did not expect that a car was coming to pick us up and couldn’t even fit our luggage properly! So me and one of my friends had to sit in the back folded up and with luggage packed up around us. Really poor when you know the amount of baggage and passengers. Which was 5! Not 5.000.000 worth it! And the driver was speaking very highly and almost acted like we weren’t there. All in all - not what I expected. And I’m hoping that you will have the time to read this and I will be looking forward to hearing from you soon! Ida Birkebaek Andersen

Travelling by taxi essentials

  • To ensure you are picked up when required, book your taxi transfer in advance. It is vital to plan your journeys early if you are going to travel during the busiest periods – high season or just rush hours. Sometimes it will be impossible to book a long ride with the immediate departure – in the best-case scenario you will have to wait for hours, in the worth one – to postpone or cancel your trip.
  • Make sure you have clearly agreed on pick up and drop off locations prior to the trip. If getting to your location requires special instructions – e.g., road closures, non-resident cars are banned from entering your compound, etc. – let the driver know it in advance.
  • If you need to make a detour or are planning any stops during your taxi ride, want to check any tourist attractions or pick up additional passengers in locations other than your pick up point, inform your taxi company beforehand. Extra fees may be charged – or may not, depending on your route, the car type, and the company’s policy. Anyway, it is always better to confirm everything before your trip. If you fail to do so, your driver may not be able to meet your request enroute due to his further schedule – he may be assigned for another trip.
  • Not all the taxi drivers in any country are able to speak English. If you require an English-speaking driver, inform your taxi company about it in advance and get their confirmation. If your trip does not require any additional stops or deviations from the route, you can most probably survive it even with a non-English-speaking driver, can’t you?
  • If you have any other special requirements, e.g. a car seat for your kid or baby, a female driver, no car perfume, etc. require in advance. Additional fees may apply. Do not hesitate to ask your driver to switch off the music or stop talking if you do not feel like chatting – it is totally ok, just do it politely.
  • The majority of cars on offer are non-smoking, yet your driver can be a smoker and smoke outside the car, e.g. during the stops. If it is of importance to you, do not forget to mention ‘a non-smoking driver’ in comments or special requirements section.
  • It is usually prohibited to drink alcohol while in taxi – yes, even if you are just a passenger. The same refers to smelly foods or foods in general. In some Asian countries you will not be allowed to have durians in your luggage, either.
  • It is compulsory to use seat belts for all the passengers in a car no matter whether you occupy a front seat or rear seats. Locate your safety belt and fasten it even if your driver does not insist on it.
  • As a rule, there is a short waiting period included into your taxi rate quoted, especially if you travel from/to the airport or train station. Often it does not exceed 15 or 30 minutes. If longer waiting time is required, you will be charged extra after the trip. Check the rates your company offers before the trip.
