Who we are and how we work
Panama Roadrunner is a small private transport service for visitors to Panama. The name comes from Coronado, the main holiday and expat town on the Pacific coast about 110 km west of Panama City, and that is still where the business has its roots. Most of what we do runs along the same stretch of road: Tocumen airport to the beaches, the beaches to the city, and the day trips that start from either end.
We keep the operation simple on purpose. You write to us, we quote your exact trip, you confirm, and a driver is at the arrivals hall or your door at the agreed time. We do not run shared shuttles, and we do not take a booking we are not sure we can do well. If a request does not fit, we will say so and suggest an alternative rather than improvise on the day.
What we do now
We arrange private ground transport for travelers in Panama. In practice that means three things. Airport transfers from Tocumen, Panama Pacifico and Rio Hato to hotels in Panama City and to rentals and resorts along the Pacific coast, with the flight tracked and a driver waiting at arrivals. Transfers between the city and the beach towns, Gorgona, Coronado, San Carlos, Santa Clara, Playa Blanca and El Valle de Anton, at whatever hour your plans need. And private day trips with a driver for the day, from the city or from the beaches, to places such as the canal locks, Casco Viejo, Gamboa, Portobelo and El Valle.
Everything is quoted by email before you commit. We do not publish a price list yet because the right price depends on the route, the time of day and the size of your party, and we would rather give you a real number than a starting-from figure that turns out to be wrong. Write to info@panamaroadrunner.com with your dates and details and you will get a quote and, if you accept it, a confirmation with the pickup arrangements. The contact page lists what to include.
How we write this site
The pages here are meant to be useful even if you never book with us. Where we give a number, a distance, a toll, an entrance fee, the official airport taxi fare, it comes from a public source that we link at the bottom of the page, and we date each page so you can judge how fresh it is. Where something depends on the day, like how long the drive to Coronado takes on a Friday before a holiday, we give you the range and the reasons, not the optimistic figure. If you find something wrong or out of date, email us and we will fix it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the Panama Roadrunner that was based in Coronado?
Yes. Panama Roadrunner started in Coronado and still works the Pacific beach strip, Panama City and the three airports. If you found us through an older recommendation, write to us with your dates and we will quote the trip.
Where are you based?
We serve Panama City, the three airports (Tocumen, Panama Pacifico, Rio Hato) and the Pacific beach towns between Punta Chame and Farallon. Bookings are handled by email at info@panamaroadrunner.com.
Why is there no price list?
Because the fair price changes with route, hour and party size, and we would rather quote your specific trip than publish a number that does not apply to it. Email your details and you get a firm quote.
Can I see reviews from your customers?
Not on this site yet. You may find older mentions of Panama Roadrunner on travel forums, and we are collecting recent feedback to publish here. In the meantime, email us any question and judge us by the answer.
