Airport Transportation in Grand Cayman

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Owen Roberts International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our Grand Cayman airport transportation takes you from Owen Roberts International Airport to resorts and condos on Seven Mile Beach and in Camana Bay, to downtown George Town and the cruise port, to West Bay, and along the coast to Bodden Town, East End and Rum Point.

Grand Cayman Airport Transfers

Grand Cayman airport transfers start in the arrivals greeting area in front of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign after immigration, baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for your vehicle is fixed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with dive gear.

Each Grand Cayman airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, condo or villa on Seven Mile Beach, in George Town, West Bay, Bodden Town, the East End, North Side or Rum Point. Enter your address in the booking form to see the vehicles for your party before you pay.

Grand Cayman Airport Shuttle

Our Grand Cayman airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared minibus that stops at other resorts along Seven Mile Beach. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and dive or golf bags, and suits families, groups and villa stays in the East End.

Landing at Grand Cayman Airport

Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM), also called Grand Cayman airport, stands on the edge of George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands, and the Cayman Islands Airports Authority runs it. All flights use one terminal, expanded and reopened in 2019, so there is no terminal to choose.

You go through immigration first, then collect your bags at baggage claim and pass customs. Visitors with nothing to declare and within their duty-free allowance generally do not need to fill in a customs card. You then walk out to the arrivals greeting area in front of the terminal, where taxis are dispatched and pre-booked drivers wait.

The Cayman Islands are on UTC-5 all year, with no daylight saving time, so the clock matches US Eastern time in winter and is an hour behind it in summer. The local currency is the Cayman Islands dollar, and US dollars are widely accepted.

Entry requirements and local notes

Passport and visa. Bring a passport valid beyond your return date and your return or onward ticket. Visitors from some countries need a Cayman Islands visa, so check the rules for your nationality before you fly.

Customs and cannabis. Visitors within their duty-free allowance with nothing to declare generally need no customs card. Cannabis in every form, including CBD and THC products, is prohibited, even where it is legal at home.

Driving on the left. Traffic in the Cayman Islands drives on the left, and roundabouts are common between the airport, George Town and Seven Mile Beach.

Dollars. Prices are often shown in both Cayman Islands dollars and US dollars, and change is usually given in local currency.

How far is Grand Cayman airport from Seven Mile Beach?

The airport is at the south end of Seven Mile Beach, on the edge of George Town. Hotels at the southern end are about 10 minutes away, those toward West Bay about 20 to 30 minutes, and Rum Point and the East End roughly 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic.

Yes. Your pickup is set for your flight's arrival time, and we track the flight, so your driver is there when you land, whatever the hour.

Should I buy transportation from people offering rides inside Grand Cayman airport?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Grand Cayman airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, condo or villa, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.
