Main Street is the tree-lined avenue that holds much of Georgetown's surviving colonial architecture: the Cara Lodge a few steps off it on Quamina Street, the Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology, State House, and a chain of diplomatic residences and law offices. It runs north from Church Street through Cummingsburg to Kingston, where the Pegasus and the seawall sit at the top, a few blocks west of Camp Street. Most of it is a divided avenue with a walkway down the middle, so when you book a GuyWay pickup say which side you are on, or drop the pin at the building door; the driver calls or messages you through the app when close, and the pickup PIN in the app confirms you have the right car.
The closures to watch: the block around State House closes now and then for state visits and national events. When that happens the driver comes round by Carmichael or Camp Street. Fares are fixed before you confirm, and a detour the driver chooses does not change the price.

Frequently asked
Is Main Street closed to taxis during state events?
Occasionally, around State House. When a block is closed the driver comes in from Carmichael Street or Camp Street, stops at the nearest open address and calls you. The fixed fare stays the same.
Pickup at Cara Lodge on Main Street?
Yes. The Cara Lodge is on Quamina Street, just off Main. Set the pin at the hotel gate; drivers know the forecourt and will call when they are close.
Fare for a short ride from Main Street?
About GY$2,000 on the City Ride rate card. GY$2,000 covers the first 3 km, which reaches most of central Georgetown. Fixed in the app before you confirm, no surge. The only additions are a stop or destination change you ask for, or a toll or bridge fee, added at cost. Main Street to CJIA is a 41 km Airport Ride, about GY$20,500, 45–55 minutes off-peak.
