Saint Helier is a historic city that attracts lots of tourists to its museums and beach each year. The roads can also be quite narrow at times.  Due to the fact that the town can get busy, it’s recommended that you get a small car, like a Toyota Aygo, which will make navigating the roads and parking that bit easier. If you want to explore the rest of the island then an SUV, like a Suzuki Jimny, is a good option as it has enhanced handling and is better on steep terrain.

You must stay within the speed limits when driving your car hire in Saint Helier and Jersey, or you will be at risk of prosecution from local authorities.

When you’re next to schools and other built-up areas the maximum speed is 20 mph (32 km/h). There are a range of manual speed detection measures used across the island, so you could be caught speeding almost anywhere.
