Before you decide to rent a car, it’s a good idea to know what destinations you’ll travel to. Some cars are better suited for certain parts of the country (for example, SUVs are necessary for rural routes), and it’s important to choose a car that matches both the landscape you’ll traverse and your own driving preferences. Rental options include compact cars, full-size cars, compact four-wheel drives, full-size four-wheel drives, and vans.

There are several rental car providers that we work with and a wide selection of pickup locations. Panama City and the Tocumen International Airport offer the easiest pickup, but there are rental agencies scattered across the country. Travelers need a valid driver’s license from their home country and can drive for up to 90 days.
