Where can I find a Panama car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Panama holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s best to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home 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, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. 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 current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
