$1 Car Rental San Francisco

There's loads to do in San Francisco, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can wander around the surrounding area at your leisure. Add these awesome drives to your itinerary:

• Make your way to Colon for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Approximately 35 miles from San Francisco, it has lots of inspiring sights, including Gatun Locks.
• Your next pit stop? Santiago, which is around 120 miles away. Escuela Normal Juan Demostenes Arosemena is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
• Venture into the outdoors and take in the serenity at Starfish Beach. It's approximately 190 miles from San Francisco.

If you don't have 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 won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked 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 vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it may 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 vehicles you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
