Local Currency

The Cayman island dollar is pegged to the US dollar at a rate of $1.00 (CI) to $1.25 (US), which means the exchange rate with the US dollar is consistent. Cayman island notes come in denominations of $100, $50, $25, $10, $5, and $1, and coins of the value of 25, 10, 5, and 1 cent. As in much of the Caribbean, US dollars are widely accepted.

ATMs are available at many of the banks in George Town and generally offer the best exchange rates. Major credit card, debit cards, and travellers checks are also widely accepted and will come in handy if you are planning to travel to Cayman Brac or Little Cayman, where ATMs are virtually non-existent.

There are no sales taxes in the Caymans but there is a 10% accomodation tax that will not be included in the quoted price.
