Regional Guides
ZIP.GY runs across all 10 regions of Guyana. Pick your region for the communities served, the trips people actually make there, and what to expect locally.
Region 1 · Mabaruma
Barima-Waini
Barima-Waini is Guyana's North West District, where most travel happens by river and airstrip rather than highway. ZIP.GY serves the region's road-connected pockets, and availability here depends far more on local drivers being online than it does on the coast.
Open guideRegion 2 · Anna Regina
Pomeroon-Supenaam
Pomeroon-Supenaam runs along the Essequibo Coast, with one main road linking Charity in the north to the Supenaam stelling in the south. A lot of travel here is timed around the Parika–Supenaam ferry, which is exactly the kind of trip worth booking in advance.
Open guideRegion 3 · Vreed-en-Hoop
Essequibo Islands-West Demerara
Region 3 covers the West Demerara corridor from Vreed-en-Hoop out to Parika, plus the Essequibo islands. The Demerara Harbour Bridge and the Parika stelling shape almost every trip here, and both can add time that has nothing to do with distance.
Open guideRegion 4 · Georgetown
Demerara-Mahaica
Region 4 is ZIP.GY's busiest area by far: Georgetown itself, the East Coast out to Mahaica, and the East Bank up to Timehri. It has the most drivers, the most partner restaurants and shops, and both of Guyana's main airports.
Open guideRegion 5 · Fort Wellington
Mahaica-Berbice
Mahaica-Berbice is the stretch of coast between Region 4 and the Berbice River, largely rice and sugar country. Most trips here run along the main coastal road, and journeys onward to New Amsterdam cross the Berbice River Bridge.
Open guideRegion 6 · New Amsterdam
East Berbice-Corentyne
Region 6 runs from New Amsterdam along the Corentyne coast to Springlands, and it is one of ZIP.GY's strongest areas outside Georgetown. The Moleson Creek crossing to Suriname sits at the far end, which makes early-morning trips down the coast common.
Open guideRegion 7 · Bartica
Cuyuni-Mazaruni
Cuyuni-Mazaruni is mining and river country, and Bartica is its hub — the town where the Essequibo, Mazaruni and Cuyuni meet. Most trips here start or end at the Bartica stelling, and travel beyond the town is by river or airstrip.
Open guideRegion 8 · Mahdia
Potaro-Siparuni
Potaro-Siparuni is interior Guyana — Mahdia, the Potaro goldfields and Kaieteur Falls. Roads here are unpaved for long stretches and change with the weather, so trip times are far less predictable than on the coast.
Open guideRegion 9 · Lethem
Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo
Region 9 is the Rupununi — open savannah, long distances between settlements, and Lethem sitting right on the Brazilian border. Cross-border shopping traffic at the Takutu Bridge makes Lethem's trips distinctly different from anywhere else in Guyana.
Open guideRegion 10 · Linden
Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice
Region 10 is bauxite country, centred on Linden — Guyana's second-largest town, split by the Demerara River into Mackenzie and Wismar. The Soesdyke–Linden Highway makes the run to Georgetown one of the most travelled long-distance trips in the country.
Open guideTravelling anywhere in Guyana
Rainy season
Heavy rain slows coastal roads and can make interior roads much harder going. Allow extra time, and schedule anything time-critical in advance.
Rush hours
Weekday mornings and late afternoons are the busiest on the Georgetown corridors. Outside the city, demand is more spread out.
Payments
Cash, MMG Mobile Money, card and the ZIP.GY wallet are all accepted. You choose your method when you book.
Busy-period pricing
Taxi fares carry a busy-period uplift at weekday rush hours and at night, and it is always included in the total you see before you confirm. It never applies to food, grocery or courier fees.
