# Siem Reap Airport Transfer Guide (REP) 本文件提供中文说明与当前英文指南原文。详细机场内容为英文，并非经过核实的完整中文翻译；请以实时预订流程确认价格、可用性及服务条款。 The old Siem Reap airport (REP) closed in 2023. Flights now use Siem Reap-Angkor International (SAI), about 50 km from town. What that changes. **Airport:** REP **City:** Siem Reap **Country:** Cambodia **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep **Last updated:** 2026-07-25 Prices and transport schedules in this editorial guide are indicative. Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick Answer If you are looking for "REP", start here, because the situation changed and a lot of advice online has not caught up. The old **Siem Reap International Airport (IATA: REP)**, the one 6-8 km from town that everybody remembers, **closed to commercial flights on 15 October 2023**. Flights now use the **Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (IATA: SAI, ICAO: VDSA)**, which opened the following day, 16 October 2023. The part that matters for your transfer: the new airport is roughly **50 km east of Siem Reap**, not 8 km. The drive into town takes about **45-60 minutes** on the purpose-built Angkor Highway, rather than the 15-25 minutes the old airport needed. That single change invalidates almost every "Siem Reap airport transfer" figure written before late 2023 — including a tuk-tuk into town for a few dollars. The trip is now six times longer, and it is priced accordingly. Buy your transport at the transport counters in the arrivals area, where the rates are posted, and treat any specific figure you read online (including the old ones on this page, which we have removed) as unreliable. ### Why the airport moved, and what it changed The old airport sat close to the Angkor Archaeological Park. Aircraft traffic and pollution were considered a threat to the temples, and the airport could not handle the passenger volumes Cambodia wanted. A replacement further from the monuments was announced years in advance and finally opened in October 2023. For visitors, three practical things changed: **Distance.** About 50 km instead of 6-8 km. A new road, the Angkor Highway, connects the airport toward the city and takes the worst of the congestion out of the trip, but it is still roughly a 45-60 minute drive. **Cost.** Every ground transport option costs more than it did, because the journey is far longer. The cheap airport tuk-tuk hop into town no longer exists in the form the old guides describe. **Planning.** At the old airport you could improvise. At 50 km out, with a long drive ahead, improvising is less comfortable — particularly late at night, with children, or in the heat. If you are reading an article, a forum post or a hotel page that says the airport is a short ride from Pub Street, it was written before October 2023. Check the date on anything you rely on. ### What Actually Happens After Landing The new terminal is large, modern and air-conditioned — a considerable step up from the old building. **Visas.** Most nationalities need a visa. A tourist visa on arrival is available, and an e-visa can be arranged online before you travel, which lets you skip that queue. Both carry a fee set by the Cambodian government, and those fees are revised — the e-visa fee was cut at the start of 2025, for example — so check the current amount on the official portal, **evisa.gov.kh**, rather than trusting a figure from a travel article. One warning worth taking seriously: many lookalike websites sell Cambodian e-visas with service fees stacked on top of the government fee, sometimes several times the real cost. Apply only through the official government site. **After immigration**, baggage claim is straightforward. There are ATMs dispensing both US dollars and Cambodian riel, and SIM card counters selling tourist SIMs with data. Cambodia uses US dollars alongside the riel, with riel generally used as small change, so you do not need to exchange currency before leaving. **Then you exit to ground transport**, and this is the part that is genuinely different from the old airport: you have a long drive ahead, so it is worth sorting your transport properly rather than grabbing the first offer. ### Transport Options Explained Honestly Before the options, the honest caveat on price. **The airport does not publish its ground-transport fares on its website**, and the figures circulating on travel sites, blogs and aggregators disagree with each other — we found the same taxi quoted at wildly different prices on different pages. So this guide does not print a number. The rates are posted at the transport counters in the arrivals area, and that posted rate is the real one. Check it there. **Airport shuttle bus:** The airport's own website confirms a shuttle bus service operates, and it is the cheapest way into town. Tickets are sold at the transport area in arrivals. Because it is a scheduled service over a long route, it suits travellers who are flexible on timing and travelling reasonably light. **Taxi / private car:** Booked at the transport counter in arrivals, at a fixed posted price for the journey rather than a meter. Air-conditioned, direct to your hotel, and the sensible default for most visitors given the distance. You pay at the counter and are directed to your vehicle. **Minivan:** Also booked at the counter, for larger groups and families with luggage. Priced above a car, and worth it once you have more than three people and their bags to move 50 km. **Pre-booked private transfer:** Arranged before you fly. A driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign, the price is fixed at booking, and the driver tracks your flight. Over a 45-60 minute drive, after a long journey, this is the lowest-friction option, and the only one where you can request a child seat in advance. **Ride-hailing (Grab, PassApp):** Both operate in Cambodia and quote a fare in the app before you confirm. Coverage at the new airport is less dependable than it was at the old one — it is 50 km from the city where the drivers are — so treat it as a possibility rather than a plan, and have a fallback. You need a working data connection. **Tuk-tuk:** Be realistic. The classic Siem Reap airport tuk-tuk belongs to the old airport, 8 km from town. From the new airport it is a 50 km run on a highway in an open vehicle — slow, hot, wind-blasted and not meaningfully cheap. Ride a tuk-tuk around town, where it is a genuine pleasure. It is the wrong tool for this trip. **Hotel pickup:** Many Siem Reap hotels arrange airport pickup, and given the new distance it is worth asking your hotel directly what they charge and whether it is included. Confirm before you arrive and give them your flight details. ### Realistic Pricing Expectations We are not going to give you a price list, and it is worth explaining why rather than quietly leaving it out. The airport does not publish its ground-transport tariff online. The numbers on travel sites contradict each other, and many of them are simply the old airport's prices carried forward — which describe a 15-minute journey that no longer exists. Reprinting any of that would look freshly checked while being wrong, which is worse than saying nothing. So here is what is actually true and useful: - **The rates are posted at the transport counters in the arrivals area.** That is your authoritative source. You see the price before you commit, and you pay at the counter rather than negotiating with a driver at the kerb. - **Order of cost, cheapest first:** shuttle bus, then a shared or standard car, then a minivan or a pre-booked private transfer. The gaps between them are wider than they were at the old airport, because the distance is greater. - **Everything costs more than the pre-2023 figures**, and by a lot. The trip is roughly six times longer. If a price you read looks like a bargain from the old airport era, that is exactly what it is. - **Pre-booked transfers** are fixed at booking, so the figure is known before you fly. - **Grab and PassApp** show the fare in the app before you confirm — that quote is your price. Cambodia uses US dollars for most tourist transactions, with riel as small change. Carry small bills; drivers rarely have change for large notes. ### Late Night Arrivals The new airport handles flights into the evening, and the 50 km distance makes a late arrival a different proposition than it was. The transport counters in arrivals operate for arriving flights, so there is a staffed, fixed-price option rather than a kerbside negotiation in the dark. Ride-hailing availability drops off at night, and at 50 km from the city it was never dependable to begin with — do not count on it as your only plan. A pre-booked transfer or a confirmed hotel pickup is the sensible choice for a late landing. Your driver waits regardless of delay, and you are not solving a long journey at midnight after a flight. The drive itself is on a modern highway and is straightforward at night; the issue is availability and fatigue, not safety. ### Families and Luggage The distance changes the calculation for families more than for anyone else. A 15-minute hop is survivable in almost anything. A 45-60 minute drive with tired, hot children needs a proper vehicle. **Tuk-tuks are out** for this journey — no seatbelts, no restraints, no luggage space, and 50 km of highway. Save them for town. **Car seats** are not provided in standard taxis or ride-hailing vehicles in Cambodia, and the law is not enforced the way it is in Western countries. If you want a child seat, a pre-booked transfer is the only realistic route, and you must request it in advance and confirm it will be there — do not assume. **Vehicle size.** Families always have more than they think: a stroller, a car seat from home, the extra bag of kid supplies. A standard sedan handles four people and two large cases; add a stroller and it is tight. Book a minivan or SUV if you are close to the limit — over 50 km, cramped is a long time. **Heat.** Siem Reap is hot year-round, regularly above 35°C. Air conditioning for an hour in the car is not a luxury with small children. Fill water bottles before you leave the terminal. ### Where You Meet the Driver **Transport counters:** In the arrivals area. You book, pay the posted rate, and staff direct you to your vehicle. This is the straightforward option if you have not arranged anything in advance. **Pre-booked transfers:** Your driver waits in arrivals with a name sign. Confirm the meeting point in your booking confirmation. **Ride-hailing:** Pickup is from the designated area; the app shows the driver's location. Expect a wait, and have a fallback. **Hotel pickup:** Your hotel will tell you where their driver waits. Get the driver's name and phone number before you fly. ### Decision Helper **Take the shuttle bus if:** you are travelling light, flexible on timing, and want the cheapest way to cover the 50 km. **Book at the transport counter if:** you have not arranged anything, want a fixed posted price with no negotiation, and are happy to sort it out on arrival. **Choose a pre-booked transfer if:** you are arriving late, travelling with family or heavy luggage, need a child seat, or simply do not want to solve a long drive after a long flight. **Try Grab or PassApp if:** you have working data and a fallback plan, and you are comfortable with the wait. **Do not plan on a tuk-tuk** for this journey. Ride one in town instead — that is where it belongs. **Ask your hotel** what they charge for pickup. At this distance it is a real question with a real answer, not a formality. ## Summary Siem Reap remains a welcoming, easy town to spend time in, and Angkor is worth every hour of the journey. But the airport transfer is no longer the trivial 15-minute hop that most of the internet still describes. Since October 2023 it has been a 50 km, 45-60 minute drive from a new airport, and the single most useful thing you can do is stop trusting pre-2023 numbers — including any you may have read here before. Book at the airport's transport counters where the rates are posted, or arrange a transfer in advance, and check the date on anything else you read. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Is REP still the airport for Siem Reap?** No. The old **Siem Reap International Airport (REP)** closed to commercial flights on **15 October 2023**. Flights now use **Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI / VDSA)**, which opened on 16 October 2023. If you are searching for "REP airport transfer", the airport you will actually land at is SAI, about 50 km east of the city. **Q: How far is the new Siem Reap airport from town?** About **50 km east of Siem Reap**, roughly a **45-60 minute drive** on the Angkor Highway. The old airport was only 6-8 km out, which is why so much older advice describes a 15-minute ride. That advice is out of date. **Q: How much does a taxi cost from Siem Reap airport to the city?** We are not going to quote you a figure, because the airport does not publish its ground-transport fares and the numbers on travel sites contradict each other — many are simply the old airport's prices, for a journey six times shorter. **The rates are posted at the transport counters in the arrivals area**, and you pay there before you travel. That posted rate is the reliable answer. Expect it to be substantially more than any pre-2023 figure you have read. **Q: Is there a shuttle bus from Siem Reap airport?** Yes. The airport's own website confirms a shuttle bus service operates, and it is the cheapest way to cover the 50 km into town. Tickets are sold in the arrivals transport area. Check the current fare and timetable at the counter. **Q: Can I take a tuk-tuk from the new Siem Reap airport?** You can, but you should not. The airport tuk-tuk everyone remembers belongs to the **old** airport, 8 km from town. From the new airport it is a 50 km run on a highway in an open vehicle — hot, slow, exposed, and not meaningfully cheaper than a car once the distance is priced in. Take a car from the airport, and enjoy tuk-tuks around town where they make sense. **Q: Is Grab available at the new Siem Reap airport?** Grab and PassApp both operate in Cambodia and quote a fare in the app before you confirm. Coverage at the new airport is less dependable than it was at the old one, simply because it is 50 km from where the drivers are. Treat it as a possibility, not a plan, and have a fallback — a data connection is required. **Q: How much is a Cambodian visa?** Tourist visas on arrival and e-visas both carry a fee set by the Cambodian government, and the fees are revised — the e-visa fee was reduced at the start of 2025. Check the current amount on the official portal, **evisa.gov.kh**. Be careful: many lookalike sites sell Cambodian e-visas at a large markup over the government fee. Apply only through the official government site. **Q: Do I need Cambodian riel or can I use US dollars?** US dollars are accepted throughout Siem Reap for most transactions, with Cambodian riel used as small change. You do not need to exchange currency at the airport, and ATMs dispense both. Carry small bills — drivers rarely have change for large notes. **Q: How long does it take to get from the airport to Pub Street?** Pub Street is in the centre of Siem Reap, so allow **45-60 minutes** from the new airport on the Angkor Highway. Older guides say 15-25 minutes; those describe the old airport, which closed in October 2023. **Q: Can I go straight from the airport to Angkor Wat?** Not directly. You need an Angkor Pass, which is sold at the official ticket office on the road to the temples, not at the airport. Most travellers check into their hotel first and visit the temples the following day — and with the new airport 50 km out, that sequence makes more sense than ever. ## Late Night Arrivals at Siem Reap Airport: A Practical Guide **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep/late-night Siem Reap receives flights throughout the evening, and connections from Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City or Kuala Lumpur can land quite late. A late arrival here is a different proposition than it used to be, for one simple reason. ## First: the airport moved The old Siem Reap International Airport (REP) was 6-8 km from town. It **closed to commercial flights on 15 October 2023**. Flights now use **Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI)**, about **50 km east of the city** — roughly a **45-60 minute drive** on the Angkor Highway. At the old airport, a late landing meant a fifteen-minute ride and you were at your hotel. Now it is an hour. Anything you read about arriving late in Siem Reap that was written before October 2023 is describing a journey that no longer exists. ## Airport conditions after dark The terminal is modern and stays open and staffed for arriving flights. Immigration operates as normal, though queues can be slow if one officer is processing a full flight. ATMs work. SIM card counters may be closed later in the evening, so if you are counting on mobile data for a ride-hailing app, that is a plan with a hole in it — pick up a SIM earlier in your trip or arrange transport in advance. ## Transport availability at night **Transport counters in arrivals:** Staffed for arriving flights, with rates posted. This is the reliable walk-up option — a fixed price agreed indoors rather than a negotiation in the dark, which matters more when the journey ahead is 50 km rather than 8. **Airport shuttle bus:** Runs to a schedule, so check whether it is still operating for your arrival time before you count on it. **Grab / PassApp:** Availability drops off at night, and at 50 km from the city it was never dependable to begin with. Response times lengthen and cancellations increase. Do not make this your only plan for a late landing. **Pre-booked transfer:** The most reliable choice for a late arrival. Your driver tracks the flight and is there regardless of delays or the hour. Nothing to arrange, nothing to negotiate, and no 50 km problem to solve at midnight. **Tuk-tuks:** Not for this journey, and especially not at night. It is a 50 km highway run in an open vehicle. ## The drive into town at night The route is the Angkor Highway, a modern purpose-built road, and it is straightforward after dark. Traffic is minimal at night, so the drive is at the quicker end of the 45-60 minute range. Siem Reap is a safe town for tourists by regional standards. The concern with a late arrival is not crime — it is the combination of distance, fatigue and reduced transport options. Being stranded at an airport 50 km from your hotel at 1 AM is an inconvenience worth designing out in advance. ## If your hotel offers pickup Many hotels arrange airport pickup and most will accommodate late arrivals if you tell them in advance. Given the new distance, this is worth asking about directly — and worth asking what it costs, which is a real question now in a way it was not when the airport was fifteen minutes away. Send your hotel your flight details before departure, confirm the driver's name and phone number, and you have a backup if the driver is not immediately visible when you exit. ## A note on prices We do not quote figures for this journey. The airport does not publish its ground-transport fares, and the numbers on travel sites contradict each other — most are the old airport's prices for a much shorter trip. The rates are posted at the transport counters in arrivals; that is the number to trust. Late-night premiums, if any, will be reflected there. ## Practical tips for late arrivals Withdraw cash from the terminal ATM before you exit — small US dollar bills are the most useful. Have your hotel address saved offline and your phone charged. If you did not pre-book, the transport counter in arrivals is your fallback, and a better one than walking outside to see what turns up. ## The simple answer For a late arrival, pre-book your transfer or confirm a hotel pickup before you fly. This is not about safety — Siem Reap is welcoming and straightforward. It is that the airport is now an hour from town, and that is not a variable you want to be improvising with at the end of a long flight. ## Siem Reap Airport: Shuttle Bus vs Taxi vs Pre-Booked Transfer **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep/taxi-vs-transfer One thing to settle before comparing anything: **the airport moved**. The old Siem Reap International Airport (REP), 6-8 km from town, closed to commercial flights on 15 October 2023. Flights now use Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI), about **50 km east of the city**, roughly a **45-60 minute drive**. That reshapes this comparison completely. At 8 km, every option was a few dollars apart and the tuk-tuk was a charming default. At 50 km, the vehicle you pick actually matters. ## On price, up front The airport does not publish its ground-transport fares, and the numbers on travel sites contradict each other — many are just the old airport's prices carried forward. So this page compares the options on everything except invented figures. **The rates are posted at the transport counters in arrivals**; that is where your real number comes from. What we can tell you is the **order**: shuttle bus is cheapest, then a standard car, then a minivan or pre-booked private transfer. ## Airport shuttle bus The airport's own website confirms a shuttle service operates. It is the budget way to cover 50 km, with tickets sold in the arrivals transport area. **Good for:** light luggage, flexible timing, solo travellers and couples watching the budget. **Less good for:** families, lots of bags, late arrivals, or anyone who wants to be delivered to a specific hotel door. ## Taxi / private car from the transport counter Booked at the counter in arrivals at a fixed posted price, not a meter. You pay first, then staff point you to the vehicle. Air-conditioned, direct to your accommodation. **Good for:** most visitors. It is the sensible default — no negotiation, a known price, and a comfortable hour in the car. **Less good for:** the tightest budgets, and large groups who will need a minivan anyway. ## Grab / PassApp Both operate in Cambodia and show you the fare in the app before you confirm. **Good for:** travellers with working data who want a transparent quote and are not in a hurry. **Less good for:** relying on. Coverage at the new airport is less dependable than at the old one — it is 50 km from where the drivers are. Have a fallback rather than walking out expecting a car. ## Pre-booked private transfer Arranged before you fly. Name sign in arrivals, fixed price set at booking, driver tracks the flight. **Good for:** late arrivals, families, heavy luggage, first-time visitors, and anyone who would rather not solve a 50 km journey at the end of a long flight. It is also the only option where you can request a child seat in advance — Cambodian taxis and ride-hail cars do not carry them. **Less good for:** spontaneity, and the very cheapest end of the budget. ## Tuk-tuk: not for this trip This needs saying plainly, because the internet is full of the opposite advice. The classic Siem Reap airport tuk-tuk belongs to the **old** airport, a 15-minute hop from town. From the new airport it is a 50 km run on a highway in an open vehicle: hot, slow, wind-blasted, dusty, and not meaningfully cheap once the distance is priced. Ride a tuk-tuk in town. Around Siem Reap and out to the temples it is genuinely one of the pleasures of the place. It is simply the wrong tool for a 50 km airport transfer. ## Comparison | Factor | Shuttle bus | Taxi (counter) | Grab/PassApp | Pre-booked | |--------|-------------|----------------|--------------|------------| | Relative cost | Lowest | Middle | Varies | Highest | | How you learn the price | Posted at the counter | Posted at the counter | In the app | At booking | | Air conditioning | Yes | Yes | Usually | Yes | | Luggage space | Limited | Good | Varies | Good | | Direct to your hotel | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Child seats | No | No | No | On request | | Dependable late at night | Limited | Yes | No | Yes | | Negotiation needed | No | No | No | No | ## Which should you choose? For most visitors, the taxi booked at the transport counter is the straightforward answer: fixed posted price, air conditioning, direct to the hotel, nothing arranged in advance. If budget leads and you are travelling light, take the shuttle bus. If you are arriving late, travelling with children, carrying a lot, or you just want it handled before you land, pre-book. Over 50 km and an hour, the comfort and certainty are worth more than they were when the airport was fifteen minutes away. And whichever you choose — get the price from the counter, the app or your booking, not from an article written when the old airport was still open. ## Siem Reap Airport Transfers for Families with Children **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep/family-and-kids Cambodia is a wonderful destination for families, and Siem Reap is one of the easier places in Southeast Asia to navigate with kids. The airport transfer, though, is not what it used to be — and if you are planning from older advice, this is the bit to update. ## First: the airport moved The old Siem Reap International Airport (REP) was 6-8 km from town. It **closed to commercial flights on 15 October 2023**. Flights now use **Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI)**, about **50 km east of the city** — roughly a **45-60 minute drive**. With children, that difference is the whole story. A 15-minute hop is survivable in almost any vehicle. An hour in the heat, after a flight, with tired kids, needs an actual plan. ## The tuk-tuk question, now settled Every child will want to ride a tuk-tuk, and they should — at some point during your trip. The airport transfer is no longer that moment, and this is no longer a close call. From the new airport it is a 50 km highway run in an open vehicle with no seatbelts, no child restraints and nowhere secure for bags. Add heat, dust and an hour of it, at the end of a flight. Save the tuk-tuk for a short trip around town when you are settled and travelling light — it is a genuine pleasure there. ## Child safety in vehicles Cambodia does not enforce child car seat laws the way Western countries do, and you will not find child seats in standard taxis or ride-hailing vehicles. If child seats matter to you — and for young children they should, especially now the journey is an hour on a highway — a **pre-booked transfer is your only realistic option**. Request the seats when booking and confirm they will actually be provided. Do not assume. For older children, a regular seatbelt in an air-conditioned car is a reasonable compromise. ## The airport experience with kids The new terminal is large, modern and air-conditioned — a real improvement on the old building. Immigration can still take a while, which tests small children. If you are getting a visa on arrival, have everything ready to minimise the queue; applying for an e-visa in advance on the official government portal (**evisa.gov.kh**) skips that line entirely. Fees are set by the government and are revised, so check the current amount there rather than trusting a figure from a travel article — and avoid the lookalike sites that add large markups. The arrivals area has restrooms, shops for water and snacks, ATMs and SIM counters. It is a modern airport and you will not be walking far. ## Luggage logistics Families always pack more than they think: a stroller, a car seat brought from home, the extra bag of kid supplies. A standard sedan usually handles a family of four with two large suitcases; add a stroller and it gets tight. Book a minivan or SUV if you are anywhere near the limit. Over 50 km, cramped stops being a minor annoyance and becomes an hour of one. The price difference is posted at the transport counter in arrivals, or fixed at booking if you arrange it in advance. ## Heat and hydration Siem Reap is hot year-round, regularly above 35°C. This mattered before; it matters more now. An air-conditioned vehicle for an hour is not a luxury with small children. Fill water bottles before you leave the terminal. The drive is no longer short, and dehydrated, cranky children make everything harder. ## A note on prices We are not quoting figures on this page. The airport does not publish its ground-transport fares, and the numbers on travel sites contradict each other — most are simply the old airport's prices, for a journey six times shorter. The rates are posted at the transport counters in arrivals, and that is the number to trust. Pre-booked transfer prices are fixed when you book. ## Our recommendation If your children are young enough to need a car seat, pre-book a private transfer and request the seats — it is the only way to get them, and an hour on a highway is not the place to compromise. For families with older kids, any air-conditioned car booked at the transport counter will do the job. Just book something before you walk out of the terminal, rather than improvising 50 km from your hotel with tired children in the heat. Your first tuk-tuk ride as a family should be a fun adventure in town, not a logistical problem at the airport. ## What It Costs to Get from Siem Reap Airport to the City **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep/cost-to-city The honest headline: **almost every price you will find for this journey online is wrong**, and not by a little. The old **Siem Reap International Airport (REP)** sat 6-8 km from town. It **closed to commercial flights on 15 October 2023**. Flights now use **Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI)**, which opened the next day about **50 km east of the city** — roughly a **45-60 minute drive** on the Angkor Highway. So the "$5 tuk-tuk into town", the "$10 taxi", the neat little price tables — those describe an airport that no longer takes commercial flights, and a journey one-sixth the length. They get copied forward anyway. This page used to carry them too; we have removed them. ## Why we are not printing a price list The airport does not publish its ground-transport fares on its website. The figures circulating on travel sites and aggregators disagree with each other — we found the same airport taxi quoted at very different prices on different pages, with no source behind any of them. We could average those and print a confident-looking range. It would look freshly checked and it would be a guess. That is precisely the kind of number that gets travellers into arguments at a taxi desk, so it is not going on this page. ## Where to get the real number **The transport counters in the arrivals area.** The rates are posted there. You choose your vehicle, pay the posted price at the counter, and staff direct you to it. No meter, no negotiation at the kerb, and you see the figure before you commit. This is the authoritative answer for your journey. **In the app**, if you use Grab or PassApp — the quote you are shown before confirming is your fare. Note that coverage at the new airport is patchier than at the old one; it is 50 km from where the drivers are. **At booking**, if you pre-book a private transfer — the price is fixed then and there. **From your hotel**, which is worth asking now in a way it was not before. At 50 km, a hotel pickup is a real cost question with a real answer. ## What you can rely on **The order of cost, cheapest first:** the airport shuttle bus, then a standard car, then a minivan or pre-booked private transfer. The airport's own website confirms the shuttle bus service operates, and it is the budget option. **Everything is dearer than it was.** The journey is roughly six times longer than from the old airport. Any figure that looks like a pre-2023 bargain is a pre-2023 figure. **The distance and time:** about 50 km, about 45-60 minutes. That is the thing that actually drives the price, and unlike the price, it does not change. ## Money tips for the airport ATMs dispense US dollars and Cambodian riel. Dollars are accepted for most tourist transactions with riel as small change, so you do not need to exchange currency before leaving the terminal. Keep small bills — drivers rarely have change for large notes. Avoid the airport exchange counters where you can; you generally do not need riel for most tourist transactions anyway. ## Our take At the old airport, the difference between transport options was a few dollars and it genuinely did not matter much. That is no longer the case: a 50 km drive costs real money, and the gap between the shuttle bus and a private car is now meaningful. If you are travelling light and flexible, the shuttle bus is the value option. For families, late arrivals, heavy luggage or anyone who wants the thing settled before they land, a pre-booked transfer removes a 50 km problem from the end of a long flight. Either way, get your number from the counter, the app or your booking — not from a travel article written before October 2023. ## Published Guide Pages - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/rep/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=REP Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
