Key Things to Remember After You Pick Up Your Guernsey Car Hire

Driving in Guernsey is different from driving in the United Kingdom, even though the island is within the Common Travel Area of the British Isles. For instance, some road signs may be different, and roads are typically quite narrow. Traffic, when there is any, tends to be quite slow-moving.

While there is a car ferry that connects Guernsey with its sister Channel Island, Jersey, most car rental companies prohibit you from taking your rental car on this or any other ferry. If you would like to travel beyond the borders of the island via car hire in Guernsey, be sure to speak with your car rental company in advance to acquire the proper permissions and documents!

Speed limits in Guernsey:

• The speed limit across the island is 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers an hour), except on approaches to St Peter Port Town and a number of other parishes throughout the island. On these roads, the speed limit has been lowered to 25 miles per hour (40 kilometers an hour).

Parking in Guernsey:

• Except for at the Guernsey Airport, parking across the island of Guernsey is free.
• However, you must indicate your time of arrival on a parking disc in many car parks and street-side parking spots across the island. Ask your Guernsey rental car company if they can provide a parking disc for you. Areas in which you must display your parking disc are marked with a blue sign that reads “Disc Zone.” Time limits in disc zones range from 30 minutes to 10 hours.
