Grand Cayman Car Rental and Driving Tips:  The Cayman Islands are a British Crown Colony and we drive on the LEFT side of the road!   You must be 21 years to drive a rental car. All visitors to the Cayman Islands who intend to drive any vehicle are required to purchase a Visitors Driving Permit for US$20 (or CI$16) each (one-time charge, valid for six months or duration of stay, whichever is shorter) – except individuals who hold a valid International Drivers License.

Remember, when pulling out LOOK RIGHT!  We highly recommend you look out for other tourists and especially for pedestrians in George Town near the cruise terminal.  Beware of speed limit signs.  These are posted in MPH.  Again, when pulling out LOOK RIGHT and remember to drive on the left!
