Can I drive in Panama with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car.

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
