What do you need to rent a car in Panama?
To rent a car in Panama, travelers need a driver’s license, international driving permit, and identification proof. Here are a few points that you should keep in mind for a successful car rental pickup:
-
Age restrictions
In Panama, suppliers allow only those drivers to rent cars who are 21 years and above. Suppliers enforce different age qualification conditions for different car-types, so read the deal-specific T&Cs before placing the booking.
-
Credit & debit cards
Majority of car rent agencies in Panama allow payments through credit cards only. There are some suppliers which may allow payment through debit card or even cash, but this option is available only at selective locations; call us & we will help you find the right supplier.
-
Driving license (DL)
Whether you are a resident of US, UK, Croatia, Canada or Australia, you can drive your rental car in Panama with your native driver’s license, provided it is full and valid. Kindly bring your original license at the time of pickup; digital or xeroxed copies of the DL are not entertained.
-
International Driving Permit (IDP)
Though drivers don’t need an IDP to drive in Panama, travelers, whose licenses are not in the Roman alphabet, should carry it along. If you don’t have an IDP, do carry an official translation of your driver’s license.
