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.
