Top tips for hiring a car in Jersey

  • Choosing to hire a car on the island of Jersey will give you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace and convenience. Public transportation options on the island might be limited so having a car can be more convenient, especially if you need to travel during off-peak hours or to remote areas. With a hire car, you can access hidden gems and less crowded locations, including Portelet Common, a lesser-known spot with fantastic views of Portelet Bay and the iconic Janvrin's Tomb.
  • When driving on the Island of Jersey it is good to note that, like in the UK, driving in Jersey is on the left-hand side of the road. If you are not used to this, take some time to get comfortable with it before driving. You should also be aware that traffic congestion can occur in popular areas, particularly during peak tourist seasons of July, August and September. Therefore, it is advised to plan your travel accordingly and be patient during busier times.
  • If you are travelling with children or infants in your hire car then it is paramount that you are aware of the seatbelt and children’s car seat laws in Jersey. Children who are below three years old must use a suitable child restraint. Children who are above three and below 11 years old have the option of using either a child restraint, if it's available, or an adult seat belt. For children aged 12 or 13, an adult seat belt is mandatory. Failure to comply with these rules may result in a £50 fine for the driver.
  • If you wish to travel across to France with your hire car, then you can book a car ferry, which generally departs from St Helier, Jersey, to several locations in France, including St Malo, Cherbourg and Granville. It is advised to check with your car hire company whether they allow you to drive your car overseas, and to check exactly what their policy is because it can change between car hire companies.
  • Book your car hire in Jersey at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Jersey are around 9% cheaper than other car types, on average

Also, in the island's more rural areas, it is common to see various wildlife and animals like rabbits and hedgehogs, which might occasionally cross the roads. Be cautious, especially during dawn and dusk when animals are more active.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in Jersey?

    For hiring a car in Jersey, you will need to be 21 years old to be able to hire a compact car and at least 25 years old to drive a larger hire car. If you want to book one of the optional extras for your hire car, such as baby car seats or a booster seat, then you will have to pay an additional daily fee.

However, it is important to check the fuel prices in advance because they are always changing due to several factors.

  • What are the speed limits in Jersey?

    In Jersey, the maximum speed allowed is 40 mph. However various areas on the island, especially in built-up regions such as St. Helier and St. Brelade, have considerably lower speed limits. There are numerous 'part-time' 20 mph zones near schools, and the speed limit in the green lanes is set at just 15 mph. It is important to remember to always adjust your driving speed depending on the weather conditions and visibility, as well as during the peak tourist seasons of July to September when there will be many more cars circulating on the narrow roads and lanes.
