Where can I find a Panama hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Panama outlet that does hire to drivers under the age of 25? That's great! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Panama with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. 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, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
