If your trip with us is forced to turn back due these complications, we’ll gladly accommodate you on our next available shuttle. 

  TRAVEL TIMES

  Unlike private transportation, shared rides typically take longer as customers wait for fellow passengers to load or unload as we pick up or drop off. In addition to being affected by other passengers sharing the ride, travel time is dependent on geography, weather conditions, peak hours, holidays, major protests, and traffic conditions. Because of these variables, we cannot provide an exact travel time.

  SERVICE ADVISORIES

  At times there may be delays and changes to normal operations due to severe weather, strikes and traffic incidents. Whenever possible, Hello Travel Panama will try to notify customers of these conditions in advance.

  Passengers who leave the vehicle at stops and rest breaks are responsible for re-boarding the vehicle at the scheduled departure time. The vehicle will not wait for passengers who are missing or late. No refunds will be given in the event that passengers do not board the vehicle before it leaves each rest stop. Passengers will have to re-book (at their own expense) to continue their journey.
