Possible to RENT out your own vehicle IF your a BARANG??
I`ve got mixed views/answers on this one
Is it possible ? Anybody done it ?
I do believe though that your not ALLOWED to tuk tuk or taxi like the locals here (which one isn't planning on doing anyway)

Re: Possible to RENT out your own vehicle IF your a BARANG??
I would think you are not allowed officially as you need a licence to transport goods or things for "third-party" account, as in most countries in the world. But its a bit hard to control if you are barang and your passengers also, just let them say you are family and they dont pay you. I saw on the GRAB-app its pretty easy to become a driver for them. Shit starts (in europe) when you have an accident, the insurance companys want i think triple money from a taxi, then from a private car. I woudl htink here is the same, even insurance is not compulsary. When local tuktuk-guys find out you are doing the same bussiness as they they will fu** you in a couple of days. Even in Belgium i know cases (in my town) from black cheap taxis who were fu**** by the 'real" taxi guys !!!

Find a suitable trustworthy Khmer partner to do it for you is surely the route in on this one? (i.e. you own a car & want to rent it out).
If you're talking about being a taxi-driver or tuk-tuk driver, then it has been done before, but I suspect more for media attention on krawma wearing hippies who last here about a year more than anything. I think there was also a law passed since re: some local jobs being entirely protected from foreigners coming here & doing 'grass roots' types of jobs, can't recall what year or what Prakas that was.

Rent (at a hopefully reasonable rate) out to a Khmer (who will probably use it to start/run a business); why not?Kingofthesky wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 7:35 pm Not looking to tuk tuk or be a taxi driver

Developping a rental contract and solving the insurance question will be the fun part.
work is for people who cant find truffles

There was a british guy who lived near me before covid, he had 6 or 7, 3 wheeler tuk tuks he rented out to khmer guys. I think covid hit him hard and he sold up and left.
