Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Panama car reservation?
Don't stress. You should be eligible for a total refund if you cancel more than six hours ahead of collecting the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings qualify for a refund though, so you may want to scan the cancellation policy.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Panama?
You'll need to be 21 and over to slide behind the wheel of a rental car in Panama. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Panama?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Yes, and you'll find your ideal wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip dates and we'll show you incredible options from various trustworthy companies.
Where can I find a Panama car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that operate in Panama. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
