Want something that won’t hurt your hip pocket? Consider an economy car. This dependable small vehicle is the most commonly booked rental car in Panama (and just the thing if you’re on a tighter budget). Fill up the tank on the cheap and you’ll be zipping around cities like San Miguelito and David in no time.Don’t limit your adventuring to those big cities. Panama boasts some breathtaking scenery, such as bays, harbors, and sandy shores. A car like a convertible will help you explore them in style. These vehicles are ideal for sightseers who want to experience the views with the top down. Who doesn’t enjoy the feeling of the wind in their hair?

For some, owning a luxury vehicle is a little (or a lot!) out of reach. But renting the car of your dreams is far more achievable than you might think! Experience the thrill of cruising around town in a fancy convertible, even if it’s just for a short while. Or maybe all you want is a cheap ride to get you quickly from point A to point B. Flashy or frugal? Whatever you decide, one thing’s for sure — there’s a rental car to suit your style in Panama.

Most of the time, your rental car company will bill the amount detailed on the fine to your credit card, including local taxes and surcharges. Alternatively, they may share your contact details with the relevant local authority, who’ll then send a fine directly to you.
