Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

If there is space on a shared shuttle you pay the per-person fare; otherwise we quote the trip as a private transfer for your group.

Where do you pick me up?

Tell us where you are staying in Las Lajas and we confirm the pickup point by WhatsApp.

Do you drop me at my hotel?

Yes. In Santa Catalina we drop you at your hotel or hostel — tell us where you are staying when you book.

How do I reserve and pay?

Once we confirm, a $15 deposit per person secures your trip — by PayPal (booking@panamashuttles.com), Wise or a secure card payment link (card payments include the processing fee). The rest is paid on the day of travel. Please wait for our confirmation before sending any payment.

What if I cancel or miss the pickup?

The $15 deposit is non-refundable if you cancel — even at the last minute — or if you are not at the pickup point at the agreed time, so please be ready 10 minutes early.
