Pass-app change

As there doesn't seem to be any hard and fast rules around this, I just wondered what your opinions were...

What's the highest denomination note that it would be unreasonable to expect a pass-app driver to change? If he doesn't have change, who's job is it to go and get change? And if there's no-where to get change, what happens then?

I change $20-30 to riel (10,000r notes) at the start of each week. Gets me through all my local small purchases. They don't always have change even for $5.

To be correct I would think its the responsibility of the driver, by right once you pay him it is for him to give you the change back. But this is Cambodia! So you'll know the price of the fare when you book the ride on your phone, so its better to have that amount, saving any problems that otherwise can occur at the end of the journey. Also these are tuk-tuk drivers apparently with little work, so some may try for longer journeys and so on, with seeing you being a foreigner they may act a little awkward, but then again its no use giving $10 for a 5000reil fare.

Some people say they don't have change when they actually do. It is another scam.

They wont have change for large notes.

The answer is to have appropriate money yourself, so when they say they don't have change, you can pay the correct amount.

Use Grab with a bank card to make paymets. Exact money, no begging for tips by way of no change. Problem solved.

I loathe passap just for this reason and now I have discovered Grab's mulitple destination feature, I won't be using them again.

It’s good to accumulate change for this type of purpose.

I agree with the comments about always making sure you have enough change for your ride but we've all been in that situation where we simply don't and the best we can do is a $5, or worse, a $10...

I guess the best thing to do in that situation is to wave it at them before you get in so that they know that's what's you're paying with. It's up them then if they take the fare or not.

I wasn't aware that you can pay by card with Grab. I will look in to it. I don't know why but I've always found Grab's app to be a bit more finnicky than Pass-App.

Yes, some people DON'T have change for large notes. That is not a scam. TIC.
If you find yourself in the shit because you have only big notes, then stop off at a Minimart and buy a small object of whatever (can of coke/beer) and hey presto, you will have a heap of riel for your taxi.

Yeah, change your $50-100 notes to Riel, best bet, least trouble. Don't use card,

round up to nearest denomination as tip, and avoid being a cheapo barang.
