RAV4 good for Panama’s roads, which are less smoothly bolt and have more than occasional large potholes. Great mileage.

Verified travelerJan 2024

I would tell them to hire a chauffeur with his own car and a good driving record. It’s cheaper at the end plus they don’t have to worry about the awful traffic there since the driver would be an expert at it and also responsible for his or hers own vehicle and insurance. Actually I’m thinking it would be a good business to start there.

I used Waze and it seemed to get me around fine. Had to be careful with traffic, people drive fast and they like to dart in and out sometimes pretty close but otherwise normal city driving

Avoid using toll roads, if possible as this will add to your final bill. Obey speed limits and respect other drivers and there should be no issues.

En panama se debe tener cuidado con el tráfico, es de mucho cuidado hay mucha imprudencia. Si se requiere Viajar hacia el oeste entre semana es mejor salir por lo menos con 1 hora de anticipación adicional porque hay mucho trancon por las obras

Defensive driving should be the first thing you do when you get on the road. The traffic is hectic and busy most of the time. Try NOT to be on the main roads between 3 pm and 7 pm, as this is the heaviest time of day for workers going home, all over the city.

Just like driving in USA.

One of the main advantages to having a car during your time in Panama City is that it opens up the countryside for easy exploration. There are a number of spectacular spots that are just perfect as day trips from Panama City. Some of these spots include Cajones de Chame, which is 90 km (56 miles) away from the city, and Laguna de San Carlos, which is 110 km (68 miles) away.
If you’re flying in, you’ll probably want to pick up your rental car from the airport so you can start your vacation right away. If your flight is arriving at Tocumen International Airport, then you will find the rental car offices in the airport’s Arrivals Hall.
It is worth remembering that cell phone use is strictly forbidden when driving in Panama. This is important to remember because many tourists use their phones to navigate Panama City. So stay on the safe side of the law by having a passenger be the guide during your time in Panama City.
Rush hour doesn’t last overly long in Panama City, but nonetheless it is definitely worth avoiding. Generally, drivers can expect the morning rush hour to begin shortly after 7:00 a.m. and to last until 9:00 a.m. The afternoon rush hour begins around 4:00 p.m. and winds down at around 6:00 p.m. during the work week. Calle 50 and Via España are two roads worth avoiding during rush hour, as they both can become quite bogged down.

Booked a Thrifty reservation for 6:00 pm pick up at the PAC airport in Panama City, Panama. HOWEVER all of the airport car rentals in that location close at 5:00 pm. NO where on any of my reservation information did it say that they would be closed. HOW can Kayak/ Thrifty even make and guarantee a reservation time when the location is closed. I also spoke to a representative twice to confirm the car size two days before my arrival. I had to take an Uber to the Thrifty location In Panama City and there- the customer service representatives were extremely helpful. I eventually did get a car (it was vacation week so the options were limited) Also the customer service agents at the office said that they were not surprised, that this happens often.

Passenger van

The vehicle was advertised as a 15-passenger van but truly it is a 14-passenger vehicle. Additionally, the front row is very difficult and uncomfortable for passengers to sit because of a huge black box built inside of the van. The van was very clean but smelled also like smoke. This was disturbing for my allergies, and we had to pay to have the vehicle detailed as a result. Lastly, the rental location customer service was great, but I was taken back by the $5,000 credit card hold for liability. This is extremely ridiculous and I have never experienced this requirement not even in America with high-end vehicles. If this is the requirement moving forward for Avis Panama this should be expressed in advance of pick-up and not as a surprise on the day of pick-up. There were so many hidden fees and as a preferred business renter with Avis (America) I was disappointed.

Company is not clear about charges and even didn't want to give a printed receipt after we returned the car. Alleging within 30 min you would get by email. We had to insist because we were leaving the city without knowing final charge. When he finally printed the receipt there was 40 dollar difference from what he told us verbally.

Alamo as some others on their groups are nothing but thieves. They scam me from a luxury car to a cheap one claiming that AMEX didn’t cover insurance for the luxury car while holding in their hands a letter from them stating that I was covered. But still charged me the luxury car rate blaming on Kayak taking their share off the top first. In other words they pretty much said not to use Kayak at all. I wouldn’t recommend Alamo or any of their affiliates to a dog. I’m not the first one they’ve done this to.

We booked a rental car and received confirmation email. We showed up at the counter and no one was there. It took an hour for economy to track down the person to come to the booth, who then informed us there was no cars available despite us booking a reservation. We had to get a car with another company for four times what you quoted us and I would like compensation for the inconvenience and failure to deliver.
