How to find Hertz at Balboa Airport
Knowing where to go is the first step to collecting your Hertz car rental. You could be heading to an airport pickup point, meeting a staff member, or catching a shuttle bus to the rental area. Run a car rental search and use the 'Pickup' filter to explore the available options at Balboa Airport.
Airport terminal: Counters sit next to or inside arrivals, so you can skip the transfer. Land, grab your suitcases and drive off.
Free shuttle bus: This collection option comes into play when the provider is located close to the airport rather than at it. A free bus connects the terminal and the rental site.
Meet and greet: A member of staff will meet you in arrivals with the keys and rental paperwork. They'll then take you to your car.
Just want a faster way to your car? Some providers offer self-service pickup, so you can collect your keys from a lockbox or kiosk and skip the rental counter.
Hertz car rental at Balboa Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to choose between 'Automatic' and 'Manual.' Automatic manages the gear changes, while Manual is the traditional stick shift. Most rental companies include both.
Fuel policy: Book a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy' and avoid unnecessary refueling costs. It arrives with a full tank and goes back the same way, so it's easier to keep track of what you're paying.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' give you the freedom to explore without worrying about added charges. Search for this option using the 'Policies' filter and travel freely.
Side of the road: Traffic in Panama keeps to the right side of the road.

Required documents: As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence and additional photo ID when collecting your Hertz car rental. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.
Deposits and credit card: Providers typically place a temporary hold on a credit card to cover the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted at pickup, so make sure you have credit.
Insurance: Car rental excess insurance isn't required, but it can help you avoid paying an expensive excess fee. Before you book, check what each cover option includes.
Add ons: Nifty extras like a GPS unit and reverse camera can make your Hertz car rental more enjoyable.
