PTY · Arrival pickup
For Tocumen International (PTY), we could not confirm an official published pickup point for outside pre-booked chauffeured cars that we can quote. The 24/7 Chauffyr desk texts you the permitted meeting point, the chauffeur's name and the vehicle plate once your flight is tracked as inbound.
Note · We never publish an assumption as if it were an authority citation; the meeting point always comes from the desk by text.
At PTY, a vetted local partner chauffeur drives your trip; Chauffyr's 24/7 desk books it, confirms it in writing and tracks the flight.

How chauffeur pickup at PTY works
Tocumen International lies east of Panama City and is operated by the state company Aeropuerto Internacional de Tocumen S.A. Its site covers flights, parking and taxis, but gives nothing we could quote on outside chauffeured cars, so the desk texts the permitted meeting point, the driver's name and the plate.
Tocumen's site lists flights, parking and taxis, and we could not confirm a rule for outside chauffeured cars, so this page names no spot. Your chauffeur holds at the permitted meeting point for pre-booked cars, and the desk texts its location, the plate and the name as you land.
Copa Airlines flights use both terminals, with many long-haul and Star Alliance routes at Terminal 2 and others at Terminal 1. The tracked flight tells dispatch which hall to wait at.
After immigration and customs, a chauffeur with your name greets you in arrivals and walks you to the car. Connecting Copa passengers on overnight stops ask for it often.
Each arrival includes 60 minutes of waiting at no charge once the flight lands, with any extra time billed hourly in 15-minute increments. Immigration queues are tracked live.
Rides follow the Corredor Sur along the bay to Punta Pacífica, Punta Paitilla, Obarrio and Casco Viejo, or stop at Costa del Este on the way. Some guests book a private car service to the Miraflores Locks or the Pacific beaches.
Cruise luggage and fishing gear take room, so list the bags when booking. A full-size SUV fits a family's cases, and an Executive Sprinter moves a cruise group together.
Business jets use Tocumen or Panama Pacífico, and smaller aircraft use Albrook. Pass on the aircraft tail and the FBO, and the executive airport transfer is set for block-in.
Afternoon rain storms in the wet season slow the Corredor Sur and the bay roads. Dispatch follows the tracked landing and times the car to your exit, with your confirmed fare locked when you book.
The Corredor Sur toll road is usually the quickest route; the booking shows the planned pickup time.
The booking page prices every car class up front and breaks out the gratuity.

Yes. Hourly hire covers the locks and the causeway, priced as one figure.

Tocumen International (PTY) publishes no pickup point for outside pre-booked chauffeured cars that we can quote, so we do not invent one.

Every arrival is flight-tracked, so a delay simply moves the pickup time.

Optional in-terminal Meet & Greet — your chauffeur waits inside at baggage claim with a name board — is $35 for sedans and SUVs and $150 for Executive and Jet Sprinters. Every arrival includes live flight tracking and 60 minutes of complimentary wait.
Prices are approximate base fares calculated by distance (miles) and vehicle class, including tolls, parking, airport fees, fuel and the complimentary wait window; a 20% gratuity is added when you book.
