Renting a car in Colon

There are 2 rental car agencies in Colon, Budget and Hertz. Both are located in the 2000 (Dos Mil) shopping center in Colon.

If you plan to travel to Panama City the drive takes about 2 hours. The stretch of road from Colon to the outskirts of Panama City is 2 lane. The road is currently being repaved. Parts of the road are not marked with yellow lines and at times may be hard to tell what is going on. Be cautious and do not hurry. As you approach Panama City you will enter the Altopista which is a well maintained toll road. Here the traffic is divided with 4 lanes and is a modern freeway.
