How Can I Refuel My Rental Car at PAC Airport Without Any Hassle?

Most rental companies at PAC offer a 'full-to-full' policy, which is often the most economical choice. You receive the car with a full tank and must return it full.

Be sure to check your rental agreement for the specific fuel policy.

Panama City Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental FAQ for self-drive travelers in Panama City

Can I drive in Panama with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

Your valid US driver's license is accepted in Panama for tourist purposes. However, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended as a backup—local police may request it, especially outside the city. The IDP costs about $20 and is available through AAA. Renters must be at least 21 years old; drivers under 25 incur a young driver surcharge of approximately $15–$25/day.

How do I pay for toll roads in Panama? Do I need a special device?

Panama's toll roads (Corredor Sur, Corredor Norte, and the Bridge of the Americas) use a prepaid card system called "TelePeaje." You can purchase and load cards at gas stations, supermarkets, and toll booths. Some lanes also accept cash. Rent a car with a pre-installed transponder to skip the hassle—most major agencies include one, but confirm at pickup. Tolls typically range from $1.50 to $4.00 per passage.

What's the rainy season driving situation like? Will my rental get damaged?

The rainy season (May–November) brings heavy afternoon downpours that can reduce visibility to near zero and cause sudden flooding on low-lying roads, especially near causeways and bridges. Hydroplaning is a real risk. Drive slowly, keep headlights on, and avoid crossing flooded streets—rental insurance typically doesn't cover water damage. September and October are the wettest months, so plan extra travel time.

Is car insurance required? What happens if I damage the car?

Basic liability insurance is legally required and usually included in rental rates. However, the mandatory deductible (deducible) can be sky-high—often $1,500 to $3,000. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) to reduce or eliminate this deductible costs $20–$45/day extra. Your US auto policy or credit card may provide rental coverage, but verify it works in Panama before declining CDW. Uninsured motorist coverage is rare in Panama; consider adding it for peace of mind.

What are the parking costs and rules in Panama City?

Street parking in Casco Viejo and business districts is metered but often occupied. Parking garages charge $2–$5/hour, with daily maximums around $15–$25. Many hotels offer free parking. Watch for street cleaning signs—towing is frequent in Violeta Calle and other busy areas. Never leave valuables in the car; break-ins targeting tourists are common, especially in parking lots near shopping malls.

What should I know about traffic and driving customs in Panama City?

Panama drives on the right side. Driving can be aggressive with frequent lane cutting, unexpected turns from any lane, and minimal signaling. Yellow lights often mean "go faster." Speed limits: 40 km/h in city, 80–100 km/h on highways. Traffic police checkpoints are common on major roads—always stop when signaled. The city has severe congestion (7–9 AM, 4–7 PM). The Pan-American Highway westbound is well-maintained, but night driving on rural roads is discouraged due to unmarked hazards and unlit vehicles.
