Fortunately for travelers, all sizes of vehicles will be comfortable to drive on the roads of Panama City. SUVs, coupes, compacts, and sedans can all be found on the road here so travelers really have their pick. However, if you plan on exploring the older parts of the city by car, it may be worth renting a smaller vehicle as the streets can become a bit narrow at times.
The speed limit in built-up areas and urban zones in Panama City typically ranges from 30 km/h (19 mph) to 50 km/h (31 mph). In towns and on local roads the speed limit goes up to 60 km/h (37 mph), while on highways the speed limit goes from 100 km/h (62 mph) to 120 km/h (75 mph).
Private parking garages and lots are reliable options for drivers who are sticking to the busier parts of town.

Pros:
The pickup/drop off could not have been any closer to the business, it was great.Cons:
Upfront pricing would have been appreciated. The price you get quoted is GREAT...come to find out it is not the case at all. It is actually 3/4 times more expensive (normal price for US rental). The quote is only for the car BUT you have to get insurance, from Panama (no third party insurance companies outside of country are accepted). So, what started off as a $81 total price for 5 days turned into a $240 price tag AND I had to cancel the third party insurance I purchased (still waiting for my reimbursement).8,0 Very Good

Pros:
Professional Staff. Car was ready on arrival. Easy pick up and drop off. Clean vehicle.Cons:
Mechanical issues with vehicle. For some bizarre reason the outside of the windshield remained fogged up on humid and rainy days. Always had to have the windshield wipers on. Electrical issues with the infotainment center and fuel gage. After fill up gage would show about 85% full, after driving through about a quarter tank of gas the gauge would show full. 25% markup on tolls using the E-pass. Wanted to charge me Collision Insurance, but I declined because I was covered by my credit card, so they applied a different insurance that costs the same.2,0 Poor

Pros:
It was terrible. I booked and arrived to the location to be told that the car was not available and that they had sent me an email. The email had arrived minutes before the rental time! And the cost of the taxi to the rental location? And the time lost in a vacation? Do not trust the cars the rental agencies indicate are available, same thing happened in Hertz at the Panama Airport, I arrive and they indicated that hopefully a client would return the car at the time I had booked the car, of course it never arrived.3 locations in Panama City
