Cayman Compass

Will Cayman have the world’s most expensive driver’s licence?

A Cayman Islands driver’s licence is now likely to be the most expensive in the world, Compass analysis suggests.

Government’s decision to increase fees by 700% for non-Caymanians, means obtaining and renewing a licence will be more than 10 times higher than in any comparable economy.

Under the new regime, the cost of a three-year licence will increase from $75 to $600 (US$720). A 10-year licence will go up from $250 to $2,000.

Caymanians will be exempt from the fees, with the National Coalition for Caymanians government moving to ensure a limited impact for voters. A comparison of driver’s licence costs in mainstream economies and in Cayman’s closest neighbours suggests the fees were already relatively high in Cayman.
