Where can I find a Panama car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a holiday home in Panama, we suggest reading the policies of the holiday home companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25  some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Panama with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home.
