Phillipa Me and my partner have travelled with Capitol multiple times now and each time it is great, reliable, straight forward. They give each passenger a bottle of water at the start and there are periodic stops to go to the bathroom and buy some snacks if you choose. Good drivers each time and we’ve found that the vans are spacious and kept cool with good aircon. As I said we’ve travelled with Capitol multiple times and will continue to do so.

Klara EI thought the driver drove too fast and not very safe. But overall a comfortable trip.
Pick-up place should be written more clearly on more places, we almost went to Virtan express pick-up.

Tobia MWe booked a VIP van and therefore expected comfortable seats. But since we are quite tall, we didn‘t even fit into the seats (neither width of seats, nor leg room). The ride was very punctual

Claudia NWe left one hour later. We went to the place where it was the meeting point but when we arrived they pick us up to go to another place. Of course, the stop in Phnom Pehn never was the indicated in the voucher. Nobody speaks english. There aren't seat-bells, but, it was cambodian full experience. :)

Maria NBus was a little old and worn out inside. Staff were friendly and informative. Bus was on time despite traffic jams.
However, we were asked to be ready one hour before departure (8.00am so ready at 7am) for pick up. A minibus arrived at 7.30 - we were told this was to take us to the office just out of town to catch the main bus. We then sat in traffic for nearly half an hour (10 min journey usually) and changed to a bigger bus at the office for the journey. Thus bus then travelled BACK into Phnom Penh in horrendous traffic to pick up a bunch of people from the hotel in the road next to where we were staying - at 8.40!! So we basically wasted over an hour and a half waiting and waiting in traffic. I’m sure this could have been planned better!
Other than that it was all fine and did what we needed it to do.

Alix DGood company, i booked my ticket for the day later and received it the same day on my email. Check-in is very fast (they just check your QR code), they have a waiting room. Bus leaves on time and reaches the destination 30 min earlier. Confortable seat, 1 bottle of watter, A/C, 1 stop.

Alena They have very nice and clean offices where you can buy tickets yourself even via ticket machine. We departured on time and came even earlier than expected. The only thing - not enough space for 4 persons on the back row if they are europians. Except this, everything was smooth and nice

How to get from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh by van
Vans are a faster alternative to buses; vans usually offer more scheduled departures than buses or other means of transport over the same route; vans may serve the routes not served by buses, trains, or flights. What other reasons do you need to opt for a van? Ah! Very often, they are much more affordable than any other means of transport. Van from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh departs regularly according to the schedule and is a decent option to get to your destination at a reasonable price. Now van tickets can be booked online what makes planning of your trip more convenient. Before you book your van ticket, remember to read other travellers’ reviews on your operator’s service to ensure it meets your expectations.

How far is Siem Reap from Phnom Penh?

How long does it take to get from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh by van?
Vans cover the distance between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh in 5h – 6h hours. Do note that though vans usually stick to their schedule, your journey can take longer if traffic is excessive or the weather is bad. The worst periods in the sense of violation of the timetable is long weekends, national holidays, school vacations and peak season. With roads stuck with traffic do expect delays. Stormy weather with heavy rains or snowfalls can also cause your arrival time to change. Yet in general you can rely on the timing declared by the operator.

How much does it cost to get from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh by van?
Opposite to, say, buses, normally vans do not offer a great variety in the sense of ticket class hence the price of the ticket is the same for all seats in a van. Note that some seats offer more comfort during the ride. E.g. in some vans the passenger seat by the driver is also available. If you are lucky enough to get it, you may have more space and definitely a better view there. Similarly, in some vans seats in the back row may be a disappointment as they do not recline due to the trunk filled with travellers’ luggage.
To hop onto a van between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh expect to pay from USD 13.00 to USD 14.00. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Ebooking Express is the cheapest operator on the route while Han Cambodia Transport is the most expensive one.
Travelling by van essentials
- Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
- There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
- Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
- There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
- Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
- It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
- Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
