Most visitors to Grand Cayman head from Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) to a hotel or condo on Seven Mile Beach. The drive is usually 10 to 25 minutes.
Taxi
Taxis wait outside arrivals, and a ground attendant dispatches them first come, first served. It is the simplest option if you do not mind a queue. Fares are not metered. See taxi fares explained.
Shared shuttle
Shared shuttles are often the cheapest per person. The trade-off is stops, since the vehicle drops other passengers before you.
Private transfer
A pre-booked private transfer waits for you, takes you directly to your hotel and has a fixed price. Best for families, groups, anyone arriving late and anyone who wants certainty. See airport to Seven Mile Beach transfers.
Rental car
Pick up at the airport and drive yourself. Good value for longer stays, but you will need to be comfortable driving on the left. See driving in Grand Cayman.
