Sixt in Cambodia: the policy in plain terms

Requires an IDP for licences issued outside the EU and not in the Roman alphabet. Premium European brand with a fast-growing global network.

Cambodia drives on the right; an IDP is required for foreign drivers, and traffic in Phnom Penh is chaotic and best approached cautiously.

In Cambodia specifically, cambodia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Sixt will ask for it at the counter. Self-drive desks require an IDP; many tourists hire a driver or tuk-tuk.

Sixt runs a europe / global network; at its Cambodia desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Cambodia drives on the right, uses the KHR, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.

What to bring to the Sixt counter in Cambodia

  • Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
  • Your International Driving Permit in the 1968 Vienna format.
  • Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
  • Local payment for the KHR deposit; Cambodia drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
