How old do you have to be to rent a car in Panama?
Panama rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Panama?
The essentials are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Panama?
Expedia makes it a snap to find a reliable long-term holiday home in Panama. Simply click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and compare your options.
Where can I find a Panama car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Panama outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Panama with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
