Your Step-by-Step Vehicle Pickup Process

The Paperwork

Receiving Keys

Pickup Point

Step 1: The Paperwork

Have the following documents prepared to present to the rental agent. Keeping them together in a travel wallet is a great idea.

Passport

A valid passport for identification.

Valid Driver's License

Your current, valid driver's license from your home country.

International Driving Permit (IDP)

This is mandatory for driving in Cambodia as a foreigner. You must obtain this in your home country before your trip. Rental agencies will not rent you a car without it.

Credit Card

A major credit card (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) in the main driver's name. This is required for the security deposit, which is a temporary hold placed on the card. Debit cards are generally not accepted for the deposit.

Your QEEQ Booking Confirmation

Have your voucher ready, either on your phone or as a printed copy.

Final Checks Before You Drive Away

Vehicle Inspection

Walk around the entire car with the rental agent. Carefully point out any existing scratches, dents, scuffs, or chips in the paint or on the windshield. Ensure every single mark is noted on the vehicle condition report section of your rental agreement. Do not leave until it is documented. Use your smartphone to take a short video or several photos of the car's exterior from all angles, paying close attention to any pre-existing damage. This is your best evidence.

Interior and Functionality Check

Confirm the fuel level. Most policies are "full-to-full," so the gauge should read full. Make sure the contract reflects this. Start the car and check that the air conditioning is working correctly — a must-have in Cambodia's climate. Test the headlights, turn signals, and windshield wipers to ensure they are functional.

Understand the Contract

Double-check that you understand the fuel policy (e.g., return full, return same). Locate the 24/7 emergency assistance or breakdown contact number provided by the rental company and save it in your phone immediately.
