Driving

Driving in Panama might feel a different experience than back home. Traffic moves on the right side, unlike in the UK. So, while you will certainly need to adjust, driving around the city is actually quite manageable and intuitive. For your initial drive, we recommend the less congested, more scenic route to the city via the Corredor Sur, a well-maintained highway.

Climate and Currency

Panama famously has a tropical climate. So, get ready to enjoy lots of sun! And when it comes to currency, Panama uses the US Dollar ('USD'), which is handy since it's easy to obtain before you travel.

Getting Around

Besides your rental car, public transport is widely available and efficient in Panama. Buses known as 'diablos rojos' are a popular means of transport. However, if you prefer the comfort of your own car, that's where your rental car would come in handy.
