Lucas was my driver and he was at the airport right on time. I wasn’t sure what time we’d be done through customs but it was quick! I really appreciated Lucas being there and us not having to wait!!

This was a good choice. It was so good to exit the airport and see your name printed with your ride already waiting. The vehicle was big and spacious and we drove comfortably with air conditioning. Our driver got us to our destination safely and especially quick.

Not what we were expecting
Janice_O, Jan 2026
Booked this as we prefer to take private transport to and from the airport when we go to a new country. The gentleman who picked us up was very nice and was driving a minibus. But the seatbelts didn’t work and the dashboard was lit up like a Christmas tree.
For the return trip however, we were picked up in a tiny car. The trunk would only fit our checked bags so our carryons had to be stacked in the front seat and we had to hold our backpacks in our laps. It was a very uncomfortable ride and we feel we would have been better off just taking an Uber.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we apologize if the service did not fully meet your expectations.
For the arrival transfer, a bus was assigned. During this service, the dashboard warning lights were caused by a technical issue related to a fuse. We apologize for this inconvenience and would like to confirm that the issue has already been reviewed and resolved.
For the return transfer, as the reservation was for two passengers, a sedan vehicle was assigned, which is normally sufficient for this number of travelers. Vehicle assignments are based on the number of passengers confirmed in the booking. In cases where extra or oversized luggage is being transported, it is important to inform us in advance so we can arrange a larger vehicle and apply the corresponding costs for special requests.
We regret any inconvenience caused and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our processes and enhance the passenger experience.
Excellent communication...

Excellent communication by the company. They arrived early even though our flight arrived earlier than expected. Provided a full van to transport family and luggage. Highly recommended.
OMG....Car Air Fresheners are too strong and too many
Willie_W, Jan 2026
Transportation arrived on time and was visible upon airport pickup and was early on the return trip from the hotel.
PROBLEM....the car was overwhelming with air fresheners it was horrible for us. Passengers allergies and medical conditions should be considered before using several overpowering air fresheners in the car. It was terrible this appears to be a problem throughout PANAMA, because this was not the only time we experienced this while riding in transportation. I do not recommend having to hang your head outside the window of the car just to be able to ride to your destination.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience and are glad to know that the transportation service was punctual both upon arrival and on the return trip.
We are very sorry that the use of air fresheners was uncomfortable for you. In Panama, as a tropical country with high humidity levels, transportation vehicles commonly use air fresheners in a moderate way to help control odors and humidity, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment for most passengers.
We fully understand that every passenger is different and that what may be pleasant for some may not be for others, especially in cases of allergies or specific medical conditions. For this reason, it is very important that any allergy, sensitivity, or special requirement be communicated in advance, as we are not always aware of these conditions unless they are reported beforehand.
We take this type of feedback very seriously and use it to continue improving our services. We appreciate your observation, as it helps us strengthen our communication protocols with passengers, always with the goal of providing a comfortable and safe experience for everyone.
Thank you again for your comments and for trusting our services.

Excellent! Right there with our sign with our name as we exited the airport customs. He had the bus parked very close so it was just minutes from exit to loading and it really helped us make the most of our time with little stress.

On time friendly driver. I always use Viator always has the best availability for tours etc. Plus I get points to accumulate for future
Poor business practices
Tenesia_R, Aug 2025
Booked travel for my family of 12. I put in my hotel upon booking and was confirmed via whatapp the next day. Only while already on my flight did I get a text saying my hotel was outside the city center and they would have to charge me additional fees. It sounded like a scam but I we already landed with a large group so I was left with no choice but to still use them. I'll give them a little leeway since I did book last minute but first thing they should have done before texting the confirmation was check the destination.
They did text saying the driver was there. The airport lost a bag and the driver did wait an hour for us to resolve the issue. The bus was a little dated but decent and the A/C was good. Extremely disappointed with how they do business but appreciative of the driver's patience and getting us to our destination.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Customer,
First and foremost, we would like to sincerely thank you for your feedback and offer our most sincere apologies for any misunderstanding that may have occurred. Your opinion is very important to us, as it helps us continuously improve the information we provide to our travelers.
It is important to note that not all hotels are located within the urban area of Panama City. Specifically, for hotels located in Playa Bonita, the platform clearly states that the reserved service does not apply to that area and that a different booking code is required for transfers to or from this location. This information is also detailed in the confirmation voucher sent after completing the reservation.
According to our records, your request was submitted on August 2nd, and we provided a response on August 3rd at 12:56 p.m., within our established response period and prior to your flight’s arrival, which was scheduled for August 4th. Your reservation was also scheduled to begin on August 4th at 2:00 p.m., and we were not informed that you would be arriving a day earlier, which would have required separate coordination.
We deeply regret any inconvenience this situation may have caused. However, we believe it is important to clarify that using terms such as “scam” does not accurately reflect the facts, as the service coverage details were clearly provided both before and after the booking was made.
That said, we truly appreciate your kind words about the attention received from our team. We are pleased to know that our staff provided quality service, as customer care and satisfaction are always our top priority.
Should you have any further questions or need assistance, we remain at your full disposal and would be happy to help you on any future trip to Panama.
Safe, friendly service....

Rough ride
Alecia_M, Feb 2025
Rough ride to our resort. A couple of people in our group got sick from the trip. Ended up canceling our return to the airport to try a different company instead.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you very much for your collaboration. Our clients' opinions are very important to us, they help us improve our services.
We apologize for what happened, but it is the first time that we have received a comment of this nature. Please, if you can be more precise about what happened for us to find a solution, since we do not understand how they got sick from a 40-minute transfer, especially if they were all young passengers.
