KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in George Town

  • Driving car rentals in George Town is a terrific way to see this capital city on Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands. In George Town car rentals, you can go where you want to go when you want to go without having to rely on public transportation. In car rentals in George Town, you can explore local attractions such as the Ft. George Ruins, Hero Square, and Cayman Islands National Museum, not to mention all the breathtaking beaches. In George Town car rentals, you can explore the entire island of Grand Cayman, from Barker's National Park on the northwestern tip, to Starfish Beach on the north central point, and finally to the Blowholes coastal rocks with water spray on the southeastern end of the island.
  • Situated in north central part of the city, the Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) is an ideal location for picking up car rentals in George Town. All the car rental agencies at GCM are located across Roberts Drive from the terminal building. When you deplane and you exit at Arrivals, turn left and walk briefly until you cross Roberts Drive. Once you cross, you'll be at the building and parking lot where all of the car rental agencies and vehicles are housed. This is also where you will return your rental car.
  • For those driving car rentals in George Town, you'll be driving on the left side of the road. You must wear your seat belt at all times, and this includes passengers in the front as well as the back seat. You are allowed to turn left at a red light, but only after you have made a full stop. If you want to use your mobile phone while you're driving, it must be hands-free. Pedestrians always have the right of way. Also, George Town experiences congested traffic during peak rush hours from 7:30 am to 9:30 am and then from 4 pm to 6 pm on weekdays.
  • Those driving car rentals in George Town and on Grand Cayman will encounter roundabouts that can be challenging to drive in. Unfortunately, driving in roundabouts is the number one cause of traffic accidents on Grand Cayman. Always use your turn signals, drive carefully, use your mirrors, and look behind you as well to make sure you do not change lanes when there is no space to do so. If you do not feel comfortable driving in a roundabout, consider adding on a GPS navigation device that can help you find a route that avoids roundabouts.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in George Town for $70 or less
  • Book your rental car in George Town at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in George Town

Would recommend car has Android Auto / Apply CarPlay compatibility depending on how much driving you will be doing.
BrendanJan 2024
For driving on the opposite side be patient. Island drivers are very nice
Verified travelerDec 2023
Drive on the left and take a moment to learn the roundabouts.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Drive slowly and if you need to let others pass, pull to the left so they can pass easily. Most people are patient and kind
Verified travelerAug 2023
Avoid the morning & evening work traffic. Be courteous to those trying to turn in or out as they will surely return the favor. Watch for pooling water on the roads when it’s raining and slow down! Pay attention to the roundabout lane signs and you’ll do just fine!
Verified travelerJul 2023
Be diligent with your rental car company. Easy to drive just need to remember everything is opposite. Just need to be cautious.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Driving on the left hand side is a lot to get used to!

It was quick and efficient to get our car from Grand Cayman Airport Avis. The last day our car didn't start, we tried to get it jumped but car wouldn't start. Called Grand Cayman Airport AVIS and they had someone there in less than 10 minutes to help us make our flight. Super wonderful and helpful in a stressful situation. Thanks to the nice people at Grand Cayman Airport Avis!!

We booked a compact and they gave us an economy without compensation. A blonde female employee remarked our luggage was not going to fit in the economy car and tried to upsell us to a van. Of course, it would have fit in the card we reserved months ahead of he trip. They didn’t have luggage carts at drop off and the blonde female employee didn’t help, just said it was too bad. There is no effort to help customers. They have no maps. It was an unpleasant interaction all around.

The problem was lack of up to date inventory on Grand Cayman The car I initially received was not in great condition, including a key fob that didn't work. I called the Hertz office expressing my disappointment. The next day, Ali, the manager, drove to the other side of the island, 45 minutes away, and swapped out the first car with a newer one in much better condition. He was very apologetic and empathetic. So overall, the service was great. Inventory, though, has apparently been an issue with regard to getting fresh cars from Hertz to the island.

Pros:

Car was fine. Drove well no issues.

Cons:

Employee at the rental counter was borderline harassing with the rental experience. She was very rude, when performing the car inspection before leaving she was so insulting to me & my wife that my wife had to walk away. She repeatedly cut me off while I was speaking saying it was company policy to perform things a certain way. She was so smug and rude, then refused to provide her name & when I asked for her supervisor she gave me the phone number to her own desk. I’ve rented cars in over a dozen countries & I’ve never had anyone treat me that way. It really spoiled the beginning of our anniversary trip.

Once we had the car, everything was fine. The process to get the car was frustrating. It wasn't available when we arrived so the agent tried to sneak us into a compact size car not a standard size car. When I questioned that, it was like I was the one with the problem. So then we had to wait to have a standard size car cleaned. Didn't seem like there was any urgency to try and help us to get us out of there.

The airport office closes at 18:00. it was fortuitous that one person was delayed leaving and she sorted our car out. The main flight in from UK arrives ~1700 so not much time to clear airport and pick the car up. if we had been a few minutes later we would not have been able to collect the car although Budget knew our inbound flight details.

Our car was in pretty sketchy condition. The front bumper scraped on everything. The first time we went to unlock it in a parking lot, the key got stuck and we had to wait for them to send out a locksmith. We were told “this happens all the time” and were instructed to just avoid locking it for the rest of our trip. ?! Although the staff was nice and responsive, I’m not satisfied with that resolution.
