Frequently asked questions

+Do I need an international driving permit to rent a car in Panama City?
Requirements depend on your licence's country of issue and on Panama's current rules. Check with the rental company at booking, since this can change and we don't want to give you the wrong answer here.
+Which side of the road is used in Panama?
Drives on the right. If you're used to the opposite side, take it easy for the first few kilometres, especially at roundabouts and junctions.
+How far in advance should I book a car in Panama City?
Availability moves with the season. Booking a few weeks ahead generally gives you more choice of vehicle and pickup time.
