$1 Car Rental Bella Vista

There are lots of things to see and do in Bella Vista, but venture farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Pick up a set of wheels and you can explore the surrounding region at your own speed. Add these awesome destinations to your travel schedule:

• Colon is about 35 miles from Bella Vista. Renowned attractions like Gatun Locks deserve to be at the top of your list while you're in town.
• About 120 miles away, Santiago is also a hit with wanderers. Be sure to get to Escuela Normal Juan Demostenes Arosemena while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this city.
• Make tracks to Starfish Beach for a day out in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Bella Vista, it's around 190 miles away.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Panama, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
