Where can I find a Panama car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Panama companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Panama with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in 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 for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle.
