Driver and car needed mid February 2019

Post by StroppyChops »

We're off to Kampong Thom in mid February for me to play father-of-the-bride, and need a driver for two nights, three days.

Two questions - what would you consider a reasonable price for a driver with car, for the trip there and back, and a couple of two-and-fro's between the village and the town on the wedding day? And, any contacts who'd be interested?

Good point - yes, PP to Kampong Thom, but the village is about 20 mins out of KT and as well as the transport to KT the job requires some ferrying between KT and the village on the wedding day. I need to be on deck by 4am but Mrs Stroppy doesn't need to be out there until later in the morning, etc.

I went with a family in a minivan from Takeo to Sihanoukville a couple of years ago. It was for nearly a week, and the driver took us sightseeing on most days. It cost around $250. They sometimes bought meals for the driver as well.

I think you should get a car for between $100 and $150 for what you want.

If its a nice car and responsible driver I'd expect to pay $150 plus his guest house. So likely $175 total and I'd offer to buy some lunches/drinks on the way back and forth. IMO $200 would be the most I'd consider.
