How old do you have to be to rent a car in Panama?
Panama requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Panama?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Panama, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you don't take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.

Where can I find a Panama car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Panama rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know about this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Panama with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car 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 the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
