leave your passport - a driver's licence or other form of ID won't do. Remember you usu-
ally get what you pay for when choosing a steel steed.
A Cambodia licence isn't a bad idea if you'll be doing extensive riding. Motorbike rent-
al shops can arrange to get you one for about US$40. Otherwise you technically need an
international licence to drive in Cambodia (although a small bribe gets you out of most in-
fractions if you don't have one). If you want to purchase insurance (available at motorbike
rental shops for about US$22 per month), you'll need an international or Cambodian li-
cence. Remember to lock your bike, as motorbike theft is common.
Car hire is available through travel agencies, guesthouses and hotels in Phnom Penh.
Everything from cars (from US$25) to 4WDs (from US$60) are available for travelling
around the city, but prices rise if you venture beyond.
