Grand Cayman car rentals

There is an existing public transportation system in Grand Cayman. However, it is not very reliable and is limited in the areas it can reach. If you opt to use a bus, you may have to wait at least 15min before it arrives. Opting for a taxi means often spending a lot of money. Unfortunately, Uber and other rideshare companies aren’t legally allowed to operate on the Island. Renting a car is cost-effective in comparison and will give you the freedom to travel on your own schedule, driving to whatever locations in Grand Cayman you wish to visit.

Most, if not all, drivers in Grand Cayman are relaxed and generally courteous on the road. It helps that the roads are in perfect condition, making your vacation that much easier. However, watch out for wildlife, such as turtles, which can often be found in the middle of a road. Hence, sticking to the speed limits and staying alert will help avoid any accidents. You’ll see signs consistently located on the side of the road on a circular board outlined in red. Luckily, you won't find any toll roads in Grand Cayman.

When it comes to renting a car, your age can make a huge difference. Individuals under the age of twenty one cannot rent a car in Grand Cayman. However, the age restriction can vary depending on the type or category of car you can rent. After proving that you've had your driver's license for two years, make sure that you obtain a visitor's driver's license. The company you're renting a car from should be able to provide one. You can also get one from the George Town Police Station. Those under twenty five years of age should expect an extra surcharge when renting a car.
