Top tips for renting a car in Grand Cayman
- Renting a car while visiting Grand Cayman is a great decision. The road conditions are ideal, meaning that renting any type of car, such as an SUV, would work. You’ll encounter occasional roundabouts, but the roads have no potholes and are well-marked and well-lit. SUVs are the top-rated type of vehicle to drive on the island. Nine-seater full-size vans and mini-vans are great choices for larger families or traveling groups.
- You can easily rent a car at the airport. However, before driving off the parking lot, make sure that any children have their seatbelts buckled. If any child in the car is younger than two, then you'll need a car seat. Car rentals in Grand Cayman usually offer car seats, but at an added cost. Never put a child in the front seat of a vehicle with an airbag. Remember that seatbelts are also mandatory for adults, and check to see that the headlights are working. Once on the road, stick to the left-hand side, follow the speed limits, and always slow down in a school zone. Remember that pedestrians have the right of way at crossings, so be sure to slow down when nearing such areas.
- The best time to book your car rental is a few hours or days before your arrival. Of course, this depends on the season and the company you're booking with. When making your booking request, be sure to mention your traveling intentions—that is, whether you plan on crossing any borders using the rental car. Not all car rental companies allow this, but you may be permitted, depending on their car rental policy. Ensure that you also have the necessary documents for crossing the border, such as your proof of insurance, International Driving Permit, driver's license, visitor's driver's license, etc. You'll need a credit card to pay for the car rental and any other extra charges along the way.
- Book your rental car in Grand Cayman at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Grand Cayman are around 59% cheaper than other car types, on average
