Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Panama Budget rental car at a great rate?

We try to get you the lowest rates, whether you book. But reserving ahead of time can help you save even more. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and read the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.

What should I bring with me when I pick up my rental car in Panama?

Make sure to carry with you your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

What's Panama's minimum age to rent a car?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Panama is 21. Take time to check Budget's policy, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category cars especially.

What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Panama?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Panama. Economy or compact automobiles are easier to park and ideal for short commutes. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a mid-size car or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a dash of extravagance on their vacation can choose the premium category for a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in Panama?

You are required to have insurance before you rent in Panama. Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Budget car rental?

Budget does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you book your rental for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the model and make of the vehicle.

What is the fuel policy on my Budget car rental?

We advise a full tank policy. You should get your automobile with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a gas station before you bring your car back to Budget. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Do I need unlimited miles when I rent a car in Panama?

Panama definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities here.

Can I get a one-way rental from Budget?

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your vehicle at a different location. Don't forget there is typically an additional charge when you pick one-way.
