Accepted Answer

Every rental company requires valid insurance for financial security. Without it, Dollar may refuse your rental. Exceptions where insurance may not be necessary include: Existing coverage that applies to international rentals and matches your chosen car type/class. Additional insurance from your credit card provider that covers rentals abroad. If you don't meet these criteria, purchasing some form of protection is essential.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

When returning the vehicle, make sure it is in the same condition as when it was rented and that the fuel tank is full. Follow the signs to the designated return area at the rental location.

Question 8

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The Dollar fuel policy you select in Panama City will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
