Guernsey is part of the group of islands known as the Channel Islands situated in the English channel between the UK and France. Although it is the responsibility of the UK it is not actually part of the UK. Access to the island can be gained through Guernsey airport, which is the only one on the island. Guernsey is popular with tourists with its mild winters and warm summers and the airport handles around 1 million passengers every year. The flights by Flybe as a discount carrier have helped to increase the passenger numbers for the airport. Guernsey itself has many beautiful beaches and small towns that are accessed by country roads that crisscross the island and most definitely a car rental would be advised for anyone who wants to see all this island has to offer.
Public transportation is limited on the island and it is easiest to get around by car and car hire is far cheaper than taxi if you want to do any real site seeing during your stay. Guernsey airport does have car hire providers based in the airport where you can obtain a car but it is advisable to book your car hire in advance especially in peak season when demand is high. There will be a limited number of vehicles available and it would be likely that you woulod not get the car you want without booking during the summer months. Online booking will quickly and easily secure your car for collection and aid an easy pick up and minimise the time you are in the airport on arrival. With your car hire reserved you can go ahead and plan your travel around the island safe in the knowledge that transportation will not be a problem.
