Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Panama City?
Daily rental prices were as low as $2 within the past seven days. With rates like this, zipping around the streets of Panama City in your own set of wheels is an affordable way to see the sights.
Can I rent a car from Tocumen Intl. Airport (PTY)?
With Thrifty Car Rental and Fox Rental Cars within a quick commute of Tocumen Intl. Airport (PTY), getting off the plane and hitting the open road is quick and easy.
What happens if I need to cancel my Panama City car reservation?
We get that things can change at short notice. That's why a large number of reservations offer a total refund if you cancel six hours prior to the pickup time. Your rental agreement should have all the details you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available to help.
Where can I go on a road trip from Panama City?
There's heaps to do in Panama City, but venture farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can wander around the greater area at your leisure. Add these fantastic drives to your to-do list:

  • Colon is about 35 miles from Panama City. Popular tourist attractions like Gatun Locks deserve to be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Your next pit stop? Make it Santiago, which is around 120 miles away. Escuela Normal Juan Demostenes Arosemena is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.
  • Get out into the outdoors and take in the serenity at Starfish Beach. You'll find it approximately 190 miles from Panama City.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Panama City with Expedia?
Whatever type of wheels you want, Expedia will help you pick up the best deal. Just compare the offers from reliable rental suppliers and pick the option that works for you. Love to drive away with even bigger savings? Bundle your Panama City car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
What do you need to rent a car in Panama City?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in Panama City?
Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've hopped into the driver's seat of a rental car for just $2 a day. The second lowest daily rate offered in Panama City was $3. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Panama City?
Yes, and you'll find your ideal set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip information and we'll list amazing options from various reputable suppliers.
Where can I find a Panama City car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Panama City outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Awesome! Just take note that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Panama City?
It's wise to have collision protection to safeguard your Panama City rental car against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24/7 emergency help and a zero-dollar deductible should you need to make a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a complete refund.
Can I drive in Panama City with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Panama, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
