Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Panama car reservation?
We know that things change at the last minute. That's why the majority of prepaid bookings allow for a full refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before pickup. Your cancellation policy should have all the info you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always available.
What types of cars can I rent in Panama?
Inexpensive, easy to drive and good on mileage, it's hardly surprising compact vehicles are the most in-demand rental in Panama. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!
Where can I go on a road trip from Panama?
There's loads to do in Panama, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Organise a set of wheels and you can meander around the surrounding area at your own speed. Add these fantastic places to your list:

  • Head to Des Moines for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. About 153 kilometres from Panama, it has loads of inspiring sights such as Iowa State Fairgrounds.
  • Approximately 64 kilometres away, Omaha is also popular with travellers. Be sure to experience Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this buzzing city.
  • Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is approximately 338 kilometres from Panama and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

Where can I find a Panama car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Panama supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Awesome! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
