The Panama Trails Flexi Drive is a perfect package for those who like to take their own time to discover the beauty of Panama. It is a self-drive package that allows you to decide the "when", "where" and "how long" every place will be explored.
Custom-designing your own itinerary is not the only advantage that Flexi-Program offers, you also receive better rates than if you were to book the hotels, rental car or shuttle transfer company directly and in advance.
This is how it works: On your arrival day a representative from Panama Trails will meet you at the airport and provide transfer to your hotel in Panama City which is already pre-booked. The next morning a Toyota Yaris Advance or similar is delivered to your hotel by the rental company. You will also have a briefing meeting at your hotel with an experienced English-speaking guide who will provide your accommodation vouchers, answer any questions you have about driving in Panama, discuss your travel plans, etc.
Then you are off to explore on your own! You go as you please, choosing hotels and lodges from the Flexi List. There are approximately 30 hotels covering almost the entire country (except for the islands). You can stay as many nights as you like in each hotel. The only condition is that you book as you go, no sooner than the morning of the day you go. When calling or checking in, you must identify yourself as a Panama Trails client with the Flexi Drive Program.
In each main area there is a choice of hotels and lodges, so if one hotel is full there is a very good chance that another will have space. If within the main area where you want to stay no hotels have space, just call Panama Trails who will assist you in finding you an alternative in that same area or near that area.
At the end of your trip, simply drop the car at Tocumen International Airport or at the rental car office in Panama City.
