Booking rides with PassApp in Kampot

What PassApp is and who uses it

PassApp connects passengers with nearby drivers through a phone app. Three vehicle types are offered: tuk-tuks, cars and motorbikes. Both residents and visitors use it in Kampot, mainly because the fare is shown up front and the ride can be followed on a map.

If you have used Uber or Grab elsewhere, the routine will feel familiar: set a pickup point, set a destination, pick a vehicle, wait for a driver.

Getting started

Download the passenger app from Google Play, the Apple App Store or Huawei AppGallery (store links are listed on this page). Then set up a profile.

• You will be asked for your name, your phone number and payment information.
• Enter the pickup and drop-off locations.
• Choose tuk-tuk, car or motorbike. The app shows an estimated fare for each before you book.
• Follow the driver on the map as they head to you, and watch the arrival time.

What a ride costs in Kampot

Fares depend on the distance travelled and the vehicle you choose. The figures below are rough starting and upper ranges for Kampot, not fixed tariffs, so always rely on the estimate the app gives you.

• Motorbike: from about $0.30 for a short hop, up to $3 or more for longer trips. Generally the cheapest option.
• Tuk-tuk: from about $0.50 for short distances, up to $5 or more for longer ones.
• Car: from about $2 for short distances, up to $10 or more for longer ones.

The app also hands out promotional discounts and coupons from time to time, which can lower the total further. Because you see the estimated fare before booking, you can decide whether it suits your budget or whether another option makes more sense.

Payment and safety features

You can pay with cash or with a credit or debit card, and the payment method is chosen inside the app.

Safety tools built into the app include driver ratings and reviews, GPS tracking of the trip and an emergency button that lets you call for help.
