How old do you have to be to hire a car in Panama?
Hire vehicle rules in Panama require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Rental providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the categories of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to hire a car in Panama?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things --- a valid driver's license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a Panama hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 in Panama often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age range. Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your chosen car company to escape any surprise charges at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Panama with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
