Okay, let’s talk about how I got myself a Cayman Islands driving license.
It was a bit of a journey, I gotta say. First off, I did some digging online to figure out what exactly I needed to do. Turns out, if you’ve never had a license before, you gotta take both a written test and a driving test. Classic, right?
So, the written test. It’s all done on a touchscreen, which is kinda cool, I guess. 40 multiple-choice questions, and you pick one answer out of four. They throw in a mix of general driving stuff and road signs. I brushed up on my knowledge, did some practice tests online – you know, the usual. I paid $60 to schedule the test, which is valid for 6 months.

- I went to the testing center, feeling somewhat prepared.
- I sat down at one of those touchscreen computers.
- I started answering the questions.
Some were easy, some were a bit tricky, but overall, I felt pretty good about it. I submitted my answers and waited. And bam, I passed! That was step one done.
Next up, the driving test. This was the real deal. I had to show I could actually handle a car on the road. I scheduled the test, practiced my driving, and made sure I knew all the rules of the road in the Cayman Islands. The day of the test, I was a little nervous, I won’t lie. I did the test with an examiner in the passenger seat, giving me directions and watching my every move.
- I drove around, following their instructions.
- I made sure to signal properly.
- I checked my mirrors constantly.
- I tried to stay calm and focused.
After what felt like an eternity, it was over. The examiner told me I passed! What a relief! I was officially allowed to drive in the Cayman Islands.
Finally, I went to get my actual license. I filled out some forms, paid the fee, and got my photo taken. And there it was, my brand-new Cayman Islands driving license. It felt pretty darn good to hold it in my hand after all that.
So, that’s my story of getting a Cayman Islands driving license. It wasn’t the easiest thing in the world, but I did it. And now I can cruise around those beautiful islands with the windows down, enjoying the freedom of the open road!
