[Interactive map placeholder - maintain existing map functionality]
System: Electronic toll collection (ETC) + ANPR + Manual cash payment
Operator: Cambodia PPSHV Expressway Co Ltd (CRBC subsidiary)
Currency: US Dollar (USD)
Coverage: 1 operational expressway, 1 under construction, 1 in planning
Technology: Electronic Toll Collection (ETC), Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
Do I Need ETC for Cambodia? 2025 Update
No, you don't need ETC to use Cambodia's toll roads - but you'll save 20% with Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) or Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems. Cambodia operates Southeast Asia's newest toll road system with the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway as the only operational facility.
Key Reality: Full toll rates took effect November 1, 2024, ending the 20% discount period for ETC and ANPR users. Manual cash payment (MTC) is available but costs significantly more than electronic options.
2025 Update: Cambodia's expressway network is expanding rapidly with Phnom Penh-Bavet Expressway under construction (completion 2027) and Phnom Penh-Siem Reap-Poipet Expressway in feasibility study phase.
Cambodia Toll Costs: Current Rates
Cambodia's toll system operates on a distance-based model with rates varying by vehicle class and payment method.
Current Toll Rates by Vehicle Class (2025)
<thead> </thead> <tbody> </tbody>Vehicle Class | Rate Structure | Example Cost (Full Journey) | Payment Method |
---|---|---|---|
Passenger Cars (Class 1) | $0.08/km | $15.20 (190km) | ETC/ANPR/Cash |
Light Trucks (Class 2) | $0.16/km | $30.40 (190km) | ETC/ANPR/Cash |
Medium Trucks (Class 3) | $0.24/km | $45.60 (190km) | ETC/ANPR/Cash |
Heavy Trucks (Class 4) | $0.32/km | $60.80 (190km) | ETC/ANPR/Cash |
Super Heavy Trucks (Class 5) | $0.40/km | $76.00 (190km) | ETC/ANPR/Cash |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid Cambodia tolls completely?
Yes, National Highway 4 provides a toll-free alternative but takes twice as long (6 hours vs 3 hours) and is considered more dangerous due to congestion and limited maintenance.
What happens if I don't pay Cambodia tolls?
The expressway operates a closed-system with entrance cards required. Non-payment would prevent exit from the expressway system, making it essentially impossible to avoid payment.
Do motorcycles pay tolls in Cambodia?
Motorcycles are not permitted on Cambodia's expressways. Only cars, buses, and trucks under 40 tons and 5.2 meters height are allowed.
Do tourists get different rates?
No, tourists pay the same rates as residents. However, tourists without local bank accounts must use manual cash payment, which is more expensive than ETC/ANPR electronic systems.
How do I set up ETC or ANPR payment?
Download the KB PRASAC Mobile or Canadia Bank app, create a savings account, and top up your license plate balance. For ETC, you'll also need an On-Board Unit (OBU) device installed on your windshield.
