How old do you have to be to rent a car in Panama?
Panama rules state drivers must be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter home conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual home rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Panama?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? If that’s the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ from home company to home company, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Panama?
Expedia makes it easy to score a quality long-term home in Panama. Just head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and browse your options.
Where can I find a Panama car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a car rental in Panama, check the policies of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be additional costs if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unwanted surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
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. Please read the details before you book!
