Taxis in the Cayman Islands do not use meters. That surprises many visitors and sometimes leads to awkward conversations at the kerb.
How fares are set
Fares are based on set rates that depend on the distance of the trip and the number of passengers. Extra passengers and luggage can raise the fare.
The CI:GO app
The Cayman Islands government introduced the CI:GO app to give estimated taxi fares in US and Cayman dollars. Check it before you set off, and agree the fare with the driver before you start.
Currency
The Cayman Islands dollar (CI$) is pegged at CI$1 = US$1.20. Taxi drivers generally quote in US dollars to visitors, but confirm which currency a fare is in.
Tipping
Tipping practice varies. Ask before you travel if gratuity is included in a pre-booked fare.
Why many visitors pre-book
- You know the price before you land.
- No queue at the airport.
- The vehicle matches your party and luggage.
