Taxi Sihanoukville – Phnom Penh – Plan Your Trip
After a beach holiday in Sihanoukville or a stay on Koh Rong or Koh Rong Samloem, many travelers return to Phnom Penh. But leaving the coast doesn’t have to mean the end of your adventure.
A private taxi from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh gives you the freedom to turn your return trip into a smooth, scenic ride — no rush, no stress, just comfort and flexibility.
After time in the sun and sea, it’s worth choosing a comfortable ride that lets you recover, relax, and arrive refreshed, instead of draining your energy on unpredictable public transport.

Common Traveler Concerns About Taxi Sihanoukville Phnom Penh
At Mango Taxi, we know ferry delays are common — especially during rainy season or high seas.
That’s why all our bookings include 60 minutes of free waiting time at the pier.
Our drivers follow ferry schedules in real time (please specify your ferry company in the booking form), and we’re flexible — we’ll adjust your pickup time as needed.
No need to stress — we know it’s not your fault if the boat arrives late.
Yes — Mango Taxi offers direct pier pick-up at the Sihanoukville Tourism Port.
Your driver will wait for you in the arrival area with a nameplate, ready to assist with luggage and guide you to the car.
Keep in mind: independent drivers are not allowed inside the port unless they’re registered to meet a specific passenger.
Many travelers disembark at the same time, and available taxis outside the port often charge inflated prices or offer vehicles without air-conditioning or registration.
By booking in advance, you avoid overpaying and ensure a licensed, clean, and safe vehicle is waiting just for you.
Public transportation is cheaper — but not always worth it:
-
Buses and vans are often overcrowded.
-
Unexpected delays and frequent stops are common.
-
Not ideal if you’re trying to catch a ferry to the islands.
-
Less space for luggage and limited comfort.
For travelers who value comfort, timing, and flexibility — a private taxi is the superior choice.
Usually, Mango Taxi can arrange a car in Phnom Penh within an hour, even for last-minute requests.
But we always recommend booking in advance, especially if:
-
You want a specific type of vehicle.
-
You’re traveling with kids, pets, or oversized luggage.
-
You’re heading to the islands and need to match ferry times.
Booking early ensures you get the best available car and driver — and peace of mind.

What Travelers Should Know Before Booking a Taxi Sihanoukville Phnom Penh – Tips & Important Info
If you plan to fly out of Phnom Penh on the same day, allow for plenty of extra time. Ferries from the islands can be delayed by 1–2 hours, especially during rainy season. In rare cases, boats may be canceled due to weather conditions.
During the rainy season, we recommend taking the ferry the day before your flight, to avoid last-minute stress or missed connections.
If you’re arriving from Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem, or another island, your ferry will most likely dock at the Tourism Pier, located inside the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (Gate 1).

Your Mango Taxi driver will meet you directly at the arrival zone with a name sign and assist you with your luggage.
⚠️ Some private speedboats or resort-arranged boats may arrive at other piers. If you’re traveling with a private service, always confirm your arrival location in advance.
If you’re traveling between December 24 and January 10, or during Cambodian public holidays, we strongly advise booking your transfer in advance.
During these times, many locals and tourists return to Phnom Penh, and availability of quality vehicles is limited.
