Siem Reap Airport Transfer at a Glance
How to Get from Siem Reap Airport
The main options from Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport are a pre-booked private transfer, official taxi or tourist transport service, designated Grab vehicle, or scheduled airport shuttle bus. The shuttle travels to a city station on 7 Makara Road and does not include hotel delivery. SAI has no direct rail connection.
Siem Reap Airport Transfer Guide
A pre-booked Siem Reap Airport transfer provides direct road transportation from the meeting point specified in the confirmation to the submitted hotel, guesthouse or other destination. This can be practical because SAI is outside the city and the public airport shuttle does not include hotel delivery.
Enter the complete accommodation name and address rather than selecting only “Siem Reap.” Hotels may have similar names, and properties around the Angkor area or in rural locations can involve different journeys from central accommodation.
Use code SAI and the current airport name when booking. Do not select the former airport or old REP code. Other options include the scheduled airport shuttle, official transport services and app-based vehicles. AirportTransferNow displays eligible vehicles and transfers for the selected route and date.
Pickup at Siem Reap Airport
After landing, international passengers should complete immigration, collect checked baggage and clear customs before entering the public arrivals area. Follow signs toward landside transportation.
The airport places its tourist service center on the first floor of the arrival welcome area near the international exit. The airport bus and designated Grab facilities are also in the landside arrival area, but these are not universal meeting points for every booked transfer.
For an AirportTransferNow booking, follow the exact meeting-point and contact instructions in the confirmation. Do not proceed to the shuttle counter, taxi service center or app-based pickup point unless directed there.
Taxi from Siem Reap Airport
Taxi and tourist transport services are available from the airport’s landside arrivals area. The official airport identifies a tourist service center on the first floor near the international exit, where passengers can obtain assistance with ground transportation.
Confirm the vehicle type, complete destination and fare before departure. A journey to central Siem Reap differs from travel to accommodation outside the city, and the airport does not publish one durable universal fare for every destination.
A designated Grab area is also available. Follow current in-app and airport directions and verify the assigned vehicle. Public taxi and app arrangements are separate from AirportTransferNow pickup; booked passengers should follow their confirmation.
Public Transport from Siem Reap Airport
The official airport shuttle bus connects SAI with Siem Reap city. At the airport, passengers should follow Airport Bus signs after leaving the arrival terminal. The bus counter is on the left, with staff directing passengers to the bus or waiting area.
The city station is on 7 Makara Road, in front of ACE School. The shuttle does not include hotel pickup or drop-off, so passengers may need a tuk-tuk, taxi or other vehicle between the station and their accommodation.
SAI has no direct railway or metro connection. Shuttle fares, departure times and operating arrangements can change, so check current airport bus information shortly before travel.
Private Transfer vs Taxi and Public Transport
A pre-booked private transfer provides direct transportation to the submitted address and supplies meeting instructions before arrival. It may suit families, groups, passengers with luggage and travelers staying outside central Siem Reap.
Official taxis and tourist transport vehicles provide direct road travel. Grab offers app-based booking through a designated airport pickup area.
The airport shuttle is a cost-sensitive scheduled option but terminates at the city station on 7 Makara Road rather than individual hotels, so another local journey may be required. There is no direct rail alternative. Compare the full door-to-door journey.
Siem Reap Airport Transfer Prices
AirportTransferNow transfer prices depend on the exact destination, travel date, vehicle category, passenger count and booking availability. Enter the complete accommodation address to see eligible options and the live price.
Taxi and app-based charges depend on destination, service type and current operating conditions. Confirm the fare or displayed price before travel.
The airport shuttle charges per passenger, but its fare does not include hotel pickup or drop-off. Travelers may need to add the cost of a tuk-tuk, taxi or another vehicle between the city station and their accommodation.
Tips for Your Siem Reap Airport Transfer
Confirm that the booking uses airport code SAI. The former Siem Reap airport used REP, and older maps or travel guides may still display obsolete airport information.
Enter the full hotel or guesthouse address and save the booking confirmation offline. The current airport is outside central Siem Reap, so an incorrect property location can materially change the journey.
If using the airport shuttle, remember that hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. Plan a local connection between the city station on 7 Makara Road and the accommodation. Check the latest shuttle schedule before travel.
Meet & Greet
Meet & Greet service is available with AirportTransferNow transfer bookings. Follow the meeting-point instructions provided in your booking confirmation, as the exact procedure and location may vary by airport, terminal and booking.
