Transportation on the Island

Rental cars/vans are highly recommended for the Northside & East End. The island is 7 miles wide and 22 miles long, and there is a lot to see.  You are going to want to drive to Seven Mile Beach at least once; and there is a lot to see on the Northside and East End.  Economy (345-949-9550); Marshalls (345-949-2127); Budget (345-949-5605) and Andy’s (345-949-5579) rent 7/9 passenger vans for large groups/families. All the major rental car agencies are located right across the street from the airport (advice: don’t rent a Suzuki Sidekick/Maruti  ..they are tough on the back/kidneys).  

Perhaps the best idea for the newcomer or evening flight arrival is to have McCurley’s Tours & Rental Cars (345-947-9626) – e-mail is  Mccurley@cwhiptop.com meet your group at the airport.  McCurley or his American wife, “B.A.” will pick you up in their van, take you by the grocery store/liquor store..and drive you to Cayman Sands. McCurley will have your rental car(s) (they don't rent vans) waiting for you at the house! He is surprisingly reasonable (given the personal service), located on Northside (in case you have a problem)…and the best part..if your plane is delayed for some reason and you arrive after 10PM (when the rental car offices are closed)…they will know it in advance, and still meet you (1-345-947-9626). 

Alternatively, if you have a late arrival or someone that just needs transport to the castle…Call “Ol Juds Transport (947-9949 or cell 916-0473) and he will accommodate. He runs guests of the Royal Reef timeshare..so he is cheaper than McCurley for just transport (no rental cars).
