Everything Drift Does

The whole app, built for island markets by people who live in them

Upfront Pricing

Know exactly what you'll pay before you book — quoted in KYD or JMD depending on where you are. No meters, no surge surprises.

Pick Your Vehicle

Drift Standard for up to 4, XL for up to 6, Van for up to 8 and Drift Bus for groups of 9 to 16. Choose the size you need and see each price before you book.

Book Now or Schedule Ahead

Ride right now, or schedule one for a flight, an early shift or a night out. Scheduled rides are matched to a driver in advance and confirmed to you.

Add Stops Along the Way

Collect a friend, stop at the shop, drop two people at two addresses. Add stops to a booked trip and the fare updates to include them.

Real-Time Tracking

Watch your driver arrive on the map, follow the route as you travel, and send a live trip link to friends or family for peace of mind.

Safe & Verified

Every driver is identity-checked and document-verified before their first ride, and every trip is logged end to end.

Emergency SOS

One tap in an emergency calls the local emergency number and alerts your saved emergency contacts with your live location and trip details.

Message Your Driver

Sort out the pickup in the app — where you're standing, which entrance, how long you'll be. No need to hand over your phone number.

Cashless Payment & Tipping

Pay with a saved card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. No cash, no change, no kerbside haggling — and you can add a tip when the trip ends or later.

Lost Item Return

Left a phone, a bag or a laptop in the car? Report it from your trip history, message the driver, agree a time and they bring it back — for a small return fee shown upfront before you accept. Available in the Cayman Islands, rolling out to each market as it launches.

Rate Every Ride

See your driver's profile and rating before they arrive, then rate the trip when it ends. Ratings are what keep standards where they should be.

Trip History & Receipts

Every ride you've taken, with the full fare breakdown — base, distance, stops, tip and any refund — kept in the app for when you need it.

Local Drivers

Drift drivers live where they drive. They know the routes, the shortcuts and the spots worth stopping at.

One App, Every Island

Your account, card and ride history follow you. Land in another Drift country and the app switches region and currency automatically.

Available 24/7

Late flight, early shift, 3 AM ride home — Drift runs around the clock, every day of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about riding and driving with Drift

What countries does Drift operate in?

Drift is live across the Cayman Islands today. Drift launches in Jamaica on November 1, 2026 (driver onboarding opens October 15, 2026). One app works in every Drift country.

When is Drift launching in Jamaica?

Riders can book from November 1, 2026. Driver onboarding opens on October 15, 2026. Launch cities include Kingston, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Negril, Portmore and Spanish Town, plus transfers from Norman Manley and Sangster international airports.

Is there Uber or Lyft in the Caribbean?

Uber and Lyft do not operate in the Cayman Islands. In Jamaica, Uber covers Kingston and Montego Bay only, and Lyft does not operate at all. Drift is built specifically for these islands — local drivers, local pricing, local currency and local support.

Do I need a different app in each country?

No. Drift is one app. Your account, saved card and ride history travel with you. Land in another Drift country and the app detects your region and shows local pricing in the local currency.

How do I become a Drift driver?

Download the app and choose "Drive with Drift". Cayman onboarding is open now, Jamaica opens October 15, 2026. Drivers are responsible for holding whatever licences their country requires to carry paying passengers.

How much does a Drift ride cost?

You see the full price before you book — no meters and no negotiating. Fares are quoted in the local currency of the country you are riding in and charged to the card saved in your app.

I left something in a Drift. How do I get it back?

Open the trip in your ride history and report the lost item. That starts a message thread with your driver, so you can describe what you left and agree a time and place for the return. If the driver has it and accepts, a small return fee is charged to your saved card — you see the amount before you accept, and nothing is charged if the driver doesn’t have the item. Available in the Cayman Islands, rolling out to each market as it launches.

Can I book a Drift in advance?

Yes. Pick a date and time when you book and Drift schedules the ride ahead of you, matching it to a driver in advance and confirming it to you. It’s how most people book airport runs and early starts.

Can I add extra stops to a trip?

Yes — to collect someone, stop at a shop, or drop passengers at different addresses. The fare updates to include each extra stop and you see the change in the app before you go.

Is Drift safe to use?

Every driver is identity-checked and document-verified before their first ride. Every trip is GPS-tracked, you can share your live trip with a trusted contact, and in-app support is available 24/7.
