Top tips for hiring a car at Guernsey Airport
- Guernsey isn’t a very large island and it does have a good local transport network but, as a tourist, hiring a car at Saint Peter Port Airport (GCI) is a preferred way to travel. There are lots of out-of-the-way places to visit and getting there with your own transport makes the experience much more enjoyable. The roads are small, however, and often have high hedges with low visibility at junctions. With this in mind, you may prefer to choose a car such as a 4x4 with its higher seating area to increase visibility.

- Returning your car to Saint Peter Port Airport is very straightforward. Simply approach the airport and you’ll see signs for the car park. The airport campus is small and easy to navigate. Park in a bay, return your keys and exchange documents at the desk in the terminal and you’ll be free to go. Adding 15min to your normal pre-departure arrival time should be enough to comfortably return your car and make check-in.

It’s rare that your flight would depart outside normal working hours but if you do need to return your car when staff aren’t at their desks you can use the drop-box provided.
