Getting Around

How to get to and from Owen Roberts International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at GCM

Owen Roberts International Airport is connected to George Town and the wider Cayman Islands transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Public buses run from a George Town terminal from around 6am, with fares from CI$2.50 accepting both US and CI dollars; it was not confirmed whether buses directly serve the airport curb.

Taxi

Available via the airport's taxi dispatcher; roughly 10-15 minutes and $15-25 USD to George Town or Seven Mile Beach, about 2 miles away.

Rideshare

Uber does not operate in the Cayman Islands; CI:GO is the official government-backed taxi-booking app, with a capped number of licensed taxis.

Car Rental

CICO Rent-A-Car and CB Rent-A-Car operate at the airport; visitors need a temporary driver's license (available at rental counters or the police station) and must be 21 or older.

Insider tip

Don't expect Uber -- plan on a licensed taxi or the CI:GO app, and get a temporary driving license at the rental counter if you plan to self-drive.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Owen Roberts International Airport website before travel.
