How to request a quote
Send one email to info@panamaroadrunner.com. You do not need a form or an account. Write it in English or Spanish, in whatever order makes sense, and include the details below so we can quote the right vehicle and the right time without a round of follow-up questions. If you are booking two legs, an arrival and a departure, or a transfer plus a day trip, put them all in the same message.
We reply with a price for the trip as you described it. If you want to change something after that (a different pickup time, an extra passenger, a stop at the supermarket) just reply and we requote. Nothing is confirmed until you say yes to a price and we send you the pickup details.
What to include
A short example of what works well: "Arriving Tocumen 14 March on CM 391 from Toronto, 2 adults and 1 child aged 4, 3 large suitcases, going to Coronado Bay tower in Coronado. Returning 21 March, flight CM 390 departs 8:15 am. Could you quote both ways and a day trip to El Valle on the 17th." That is everything we need.
- Date and time. For airport pickups, the arrival date and the flight number (for example CM 123 from Miami); we track the flight, so the scheduled time is enough. For other trips, the pickup time you want.
- Airline and flight number for departures too, so we can suggest a sensible pickup time for the check-in cutoff.
- Number of passengers, and the ages of any children, so we know whether you need a child seat.
- Number and size of bags. Four people with four large suitcases plus carry-ons is a different vehicle from four people with backpacks. Surfboards, golf bags, bikes and strollers count too.
- Pickup point. Terminal and airline at the airport; hotel name or full street address in the city; building name, tower and street inside Coronado or the other beach communities.
- Drop-off point, in the same detail. Resort guests, give the resort name; rental guests, the address and the host's instructions for the gate if there are any.
- Any stops on the way (supermarket, pharmacy, picking up another passenger) and roughly how long you want at each.
- For day trips: the places you want to see, the start time and where you are staying. We will come back with a realistic plan and the entrance fees you can expect to pay yourself.
A few practical notes
Please write a few days ahead when you can. We handle each request by hand, and holiday weekends (Carnival, Easter week, the November independence dates, Christmas to New Year) fill up early. Same day requests are sometimes possible, but we cannot promise them.
If you have traveled with Panama Roadrunner before, say so and mention roughly when. It helps us pick up where you left off. Questions about anything on this site go to the same address, and the about page explains who we are and how we work.
Frequently asked questions
Is email the only way to book?
Yes, for now. Write to info@panamaroadrunner.com. There is no phone line or booking form on the site at this stage.
How far in advance should I book?
A few days is comfortable; a week or more is better around holidays. For a quote alone, any time is fine, and you are not committed until you confirm the price.
What if my flight changes after I book?
Email us the new flight number as soon as you have it. We track the flight you give us, so small delays need no action, but a different flight or day does.
Do I pay in advance?
Payment terms are explained in the quote email, since they can depend on the trip. Ask anything you are unsure about before confirming.
I found Panama Roadrunner recommended in an old forum post. Is that you?
Yes. Panama Roadrunner started in Coronado and still arranges private transfers and day trips along the Pacific beaches and in Panama City. Email us your dates and we will quote your trip.
