Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Panama?
Follow your own road in Panama, with car rental prices starting from $49 a day. That's based on prices found within the past seven days. With rates like this, it'll be a cinch to find a ride that suits your style.
What happens if I need to cancel my Panama car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of collecting the car, the majority of prepaid bookings qualify for a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to understand your policy. Look over your itinerary for the details or go to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
Where can I go on a road trip from Panama?
After you've visited all of the terrific sights in Panama, there's plenty more to see in the region. Pick up the keys to a rental car, toss your luggage in the trunk and hit the road. Here are some drives we know you'll love:

  • Galle is about 120 miles from Panama. Well-known tourist spots like Galle Fort should be at the top of your list while you're in town.
  • Why not enjoy the best of Kataragama too? Top sights to see here include Kataragama Temple Complex. Kataragama is approximately 40 miles from Panama.
  • Negombo Beach is approximately 140 miles from Panama and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Panama with Expedia?
Nabbing an awesome deal on your Panama rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add in a few more details and compare the offers across major brands. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll unlock even bigger savings when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Panama?
Panama rules state drivers must be 23 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Panama?
Renting a car in Panama is easy. Normally, all that's required is a valid driver's license and a credit card. Once you've settled on your favorite set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no additional requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Panama?
Unlike the States, motorists in Panama drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before getting on the road.
What is the cheapest car rental in Panama?
With prices starting as low as $49 and $54 per day in Panama within the past seven days, you'll be driving off with your own fantastic deal in next to no time. 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?
You can, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Check out our long-term car rental deals in Panama and drive off with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a Panama car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Panama, you'll need to check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Panama?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a wise idea for your upcoming Panama escape. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Panama with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Sri Lanka, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, 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 vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
