Mini Guide for Channel Island Car Hire
The Channel Islands are a perfect choice for a short break. The isles are known for their clean pristine beaches. Some having been mentioned in "The Good Beach Guide". Couple this with a temperate climate and you have perfect tourist destination. The two main islands of Jersey and Guernsey also have the unenvied reputation of being the only part of Briton to have been occupied by the Germans during World War Two. As a result, both islands can offer insights into this period. Explore an underground German hospital, tunneled into in Jersey's rugged coastline. War museums display war memorabilia and play video footage depicting the 5 years of occupation.
The Channel Islanders are multilingual, speaking both French and English. English is the official language. The combined influence of these two countries gives the islanders and the isles a unique charm. The French heritage also ensures that the many Bistros and Restaurants serve only quality food and wine.
These isles are perfect for day trips but you will need some form of transport. The most popular option is hiring a car, as petrol is cheap and parking is also free. Another favorite, is renting a bicycle which you can rent locally. The Channels Islands are bike friendly, with most costal routes having dedicated cycle lanes.
We can offer a wide choice of cars, including convertibles, MPV, SUV, estate or perhaps a sports car.
