Drift Launches: Cayman Islands Gets Its First Modern Carpooling Platform

GEORGE TOWN, CAYMAN ISLANDS — Today marks a new chapter in transportation for the Cayman Islands. We're thrilled to announce the official launch of Drift, the first peer-to-peer carpooling platform designed specifically for our island community.

For years, residents and tourists alike have faced a common challenge: getting around Grand Cayman efficiently and affordably. While the island's natural beauty is unmatched, transportation options have remained limited. Traditional taxis can be expensive and hard to find, especially during peak tourist seasons or late-night hours. That's exactly why we built Drift.

Built by Caymanians, for Everyone

Drift isn't just another app — it's a movement. We're proud to be 100% locally owned and operated. Our team understands the unique needs of island life because we live it every day. From navigating the busy streets of George Town during cruise ship arrivals to ensuring safe rides home after a night at Seven Mile Beach, we've thought of everything.

Our platform connects riders with verified local drivers who know every corner of Grand Cayman. Whether you need a quick ride to the grocery store, a trip from Owen Roberts International Airport to your hotel, or transportation to explore the island's hidden gems, Drift has you covered.
