Answers to popular questions

Prices can vary based on the company, the season, and the vehicle, but most locations offer discounts if you reserve a car prior to your arrival in Panama City. The cheapest automatic cars cost from 14$ to 26$ per day. Larger cars can be more expensive due to their higher fuel consumption, so you may want to choose a smaller vehicle, which will also be advantageous on narrower roads.
There is always an increase in demand for car rentals in Panama City during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Panama City.

Third-party liability insurance is mandatory in Panama City for any car rental. This is typically offered at no extra cost with most rental car agencies.
You should consider getting a CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and theft insurance, although it's not required. If you want to upgrade your coverage, the ideal time to do so is when you first make your reservation.

When going on vacation, renting a car in Panama City gives you the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want, and on your own schedule. Because of this, it is virtually always a smart decision to get behind the wheel.It is always beneficial to have the freedom to travel during times that are less likely to be crowded on public transportation, such as early in the morning or late at night, should you find that to be more convenient.

Choose a car based on what you want to do on your trip. Small cars like the Opel Astra or Citroen C1 can be used to get around the city and its surroundings.
The Mercedes C Class is the most popular car in the Standard category. Its starting price is 22$ per day from EAST COAST, and its rating average is 9 based on more than 1000 customer reviews. VW Tiguan from EUROPCAR is the most reasonably priced rental vehicle in Panama City. Just 27$ per day is the cost.
Most of the rental cars in Panama City are manual. Automatic cars cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

All car rental agencies allow booking the vehicle's main features but not a specific model. Because a specific model can break, be in an accident, be kept by the prior tenant, etc. Your voucher code sets the main parameters (e.g. CDAR). Code decoding:

A credit card is required by almost all rental companies. Cards that are electronic, virtual, or debit may not be accepted. If you acquire complete insurance coverage straight from the rental company's office, certain firms may, as an exception, take a debit card.
