How old do you have to be to rent a car in Panama City?
If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a car in Panama City. Take note that home providers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young drivers often aren’t permitted to rent luxury cars or larger vehicles. Carefully read the fine print before you book to avoid any hassles when you collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Panama City?
Renting a car in Panama City is a cinch. Usually, all that’s required is your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. After settling on the perfect set of wheels, read your policy to make sure there are no extra requirements before pickup.

Where can I find a Panama City car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Panama City supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Panama City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
