Jersey is a popular tourist destination in the Channel Islands, and as much as it may be small, it's highly individual. Jersey only measures about twelve miles across and has a population of around 100,000 people, making it more like a city in size - and easy to explore by car.
Car hire in Jersey Airport is available at the airport which is about 8.7km away from St Helier, the islands capital. St Helier attracts many of the island's tourists due to the fact that the southern coast of Jersey is lined with beaches. Hiring a car in Jersey allows you to visit them all.
Flying into Jersey, you'll land at Jersey Airport, which is around 8.7km away from the capital, St Helier. Many tourists choose to stay in either St Helier itself or the resorts surrounding it due to the fact that southern Jersey is full of beautiful sandy beaches and cosy little bays. Hiring a car in Jersey Airport, you can head to St Brelade's Bay - surfers and water sports enthusiasts have visited Jersey for a long time, this has always been a popular destination for them, but will occupy tourists as well as professionals.
St Brelade's Bay is the ultimate tourist beach, and resembles something much more exotic than typical British beaches, with its palm trees and promenades. For a slightly rockier coastline with less beach and more scenery, you could visit Plemont Bay after hiring a car in Jersey Airport. The gentle cafes, seafood restaurants and bars that surround these destinations are much loved by tourists.
For something a bit different, the Jersey War Tunnels are fascinating - walk through the long winding tunnels and gain a true insight into what life was like for the people of Jersey during WW2. Car hire in Jersey Airport is a must to cover the entirety of the island during your stay.
