Hi Robert,

Thanks for visiting the Panama Insider Forum.

Renting a car for that amount of time will be a little pricey by most standards, but since you have a bit of time you can contact a few different companies and get quotes, and then choose the one you like best. See the below “related posts” section.

I have not tried them all, but the last time I got a few comparative quotes, National had the best price, so I have continued to use them. Not sure if they still have the best rates but I have been happy with the service and professionalism to date. This forum thread suggests that a company in Coronado has the best prices: https://internationalliving.com/forums/topic/car-rental-in-playa-coronado/, you may want to check that out as well.

Unfortunately car rentals are simply pricey, here as in the U.S., and at present there seems to be no cheaper alternative if you’re going to drive the whole time you’re here instead of using public transport all or part of the time.

Hope the information here and in these links is helpful, please don’t hesitate to post again if you have any additional questions.

Best,

Jessica
