Car Rental without driver, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Car Rental Lyna Car. http://www.lyna-carrental.com

I and a friend visited Cambodia during three weeks in November 2011. We drove Phnom Penh - Kratie - Banlung - Stung Treng - ferry to Thala Barivat - Prasat Preah Vilhar - Siem Reap - Kampot - Kep - Sihanoukville - Phnom Penh.

I found this company browsing the Internet for car rental in Cambodia. None of the international companies as Hertz, Avis etc. have offices there. On their website they give all information about rules and how to obtain Cambodia Driving License.

They don’t acknowledge international (or other) driving licenses in Cambodia.

So after some e-mail I booked a 4-wheel drive Mitsubishi Montero, about four month before we arrived in Phnom Penh. About their website, the standard is not the best, but all the information you need is there.

The office/garage can be hard to find, because the Cambodian way of number their houses (not in straight sequence as we do). But you can ask them to pick you up from your hotel. It takes about three to four weeks to get a Driving license, but in the mean time Lyna Car arrange a temporary Driving Licence. It cost us 45 USD.

Lyna car also ask for a deposit of 300 USD and your Passport (or 1 500 USD instead of the Passport). They also gave us some advice, how to conduct in different situations.

The first problem we had with the driving in Cambodia was the lack of road signs.

(OK we have been driving in Africa, Beirut and Athens for example). And we also decided not to drive after dark in the countryside. When you come here you understand why.

The second problem we had (aside from the lack of road signs) were that the Police stopped us one time, and demanded a fine of 10 000 Riel (it’s about two and a half USD) up front. We received a written receipt and the Police told us it was something wrong with the rental papers (I think!!). The Lyna Car people had warned us about things like that can happened, and told us not to argue, only pay and smile. It is the way of some Polices to collect some extra money according to Lyna Car. When we returned our car and told about the incident they offered to pay our fine.
