Where can I find a Panama hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Panama rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra fees. It's better to know this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Panama with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. 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: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
