Grand Cayman is one of the safest islands in the Caribbean. Crime rates are low, but as always, you should take sensible precautions to protect your personal safety and belongings.

Question

Do we need to change money before or upon arrival?

Answer

No, US cash and major credit cards are accepted everywhere on the island, and at the same exchange rate as at the local banks. Currency in the Cayman Islands is ALSO called 'dollar' so be aware when looking at menus and when shopping. (CI$) is worth US$1.25 -- US$1.00 is worth CI$0.80. This is a fixed rate, not subject to currency market fluctuations. We suggest that you reconvert any CI$ you have left into US$ before departing, as not all banks outside of the Cayman Islands will purchase our currency.

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

You are more than welcome to rent a car if you'd like to explore the island, but renting a car is not a must and unnecessary.

If you do rent a car, most car rental companies are located within walking distance from the airport. Also, don't forget you will be driving on the left side of the road!
