Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Panamá car reservation?
Good news! You should be eligible for a complete refund if you advise us a minimum of six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations result in a refund though, so you may want to check the rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Panamá?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy model — the most booked rental in Panamá. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they're ideal for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a large amount of space. They're particularly suited to city driving. Slipping into narrow parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Panamá?
There's loads to do in Panamá, but head further afield and you'll find even more magic. Book a set of wheels and you can wander around the greater area at your leisure. Add these awesome drives to your list:

  • Head off to Dourados for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Roughly 193 kilometres from Panamá, it's home to many cool attractions, including Nossa Senhora da Imaculada Conceicao Cathedral.
  • Next stop? It has to be Sidrolandia, which is around 64 kilometres away. Fazenda Piana is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
  • Find your way to Blue Lake Cave to discover some local nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just chill out in the fresh air. From Panamá, it's roughly 209 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Panamá?
Drivers aged 21 and above can go road-tripping around Panamá in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally be restricted to a few car categories, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to take out comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Panamá?
Your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Panamá?
Roughly two-thirds of countries around the globe drive on the right-hand side of the road, and Brazil is one of them. If you plan to rent a vehicle in Panamá, keep to speed limits and drive to local conditions.

Where can I find a Panamá car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a little research. Managed to find a Panamá supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Great! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
