 | | Renting a Car in Panama City: Enjoy the Sights | | | If you fly into Panama City International Airport, there are six car rental agencies from which to choose. Alamo, Avis, Budget, Hertz, National and Enterprise all have counters at the airport. These car rental agencies are also well-represented throughout the city. To rent a car in Panama City, you must be at least 23 years old and it’s a good idea to purchase the optional insurance that the rental agencies offer.
The roads in Panama City are generally very good, but if you plan an excursion far out of the city, it may be a good idea to rent a four-wheel-drive vehicle. When driving around Panama City, pay close attention to all signs. Some important signs are small and easily missed. Sometimes, there are no official signs for a turn-off to another town and instead, there are just commercial signs that refer to the town’s name. Before you leave the car rental agency, ask for a map and for clear directions to your destination.
When driving, don’t be afraid to be aggressive and don’t feel bad if you get a little turned around. There are many one-way streets in Panama City and many first-time visitors need some time to get acclimatized to driving in the city. | | | | | | |  | | Compare Cheap Car Rentals Deals | | |
