Driving information Cayman Islands

General Information

The Cayman Islands consists of three islands: Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. The Cayman Islands are mostly flat which makes the island easy to explore by car. With a car hire in The Cayman Islands you can enjoy sandy beaches, quaint little harbor towns and amazing snorkeling opportunities.

To rent a car, you must be at least 21 years old (age can vary by car category) and have held your driver's license for at least 2 years. You'll also need a visitor's driver license which will be furnished by our local rental partner. For drivers under the age of 25 an additional young driver surcharge may apply locally. The maximum rental age is 70 years. Seatbelts and child seats are mandatory.
