Hi,

We will be driving from Panama City to Bocas in Nov. are there atm machines that we can use to get cash out, so we do not have to carry a lot of cash. We rarley even carry cash where we live in Miami. Also can we use credit cards?

Thanks we are excited about exploring Panama

No trackbacks.

Yes there are plenty of ATM's on the way to Bocas. But remember some have limit amounts per day withdrawal. I have never been to Bocas, but just returned from Panama where we drove from Panama City to Boquete. Check the tires on your car before leaving rental agency and have them show you where they put the jack. Also check radio. Be careful after leaving Santiago as they are doing road repair with very little warning. The warnings are right next to the hole in the road. Great highway from Panama City to Santiago then it goes to one lane each way and thats where the road repairs are on going. They don't have to tell you much about the repairs ahead of time like they do in the US. Also they have several check points along the way, don't worry, no big deal. I don't even know why they have them. But you must pull over for them. They just waved us on. Also, get a local phone and minutes in case of emergency. Runs between 25.00 and 50.00 dollars. Make sure that where you buy the phone they speak good English and have them program your phone in English. Hope this helps, and I hope you love Panama as much as we did. We bought some property down there in Boquete for retirement.
