Jersey - Essential Information
Airport
Jersey airport (JER) is well served from most UK airports and has good connections to a selection of mainland European cities. Facilities include Duty-free shopping, restaurant and bar, car hire, ATMs and business facilities.
A taxi fare to St Helier will cost approximately £20 for the 8km journey. Bus service number 15 runs approximately every 30 minutes and takes 30 minutes to reach Liberation Bus Station in the heart of St Helier at a cost of £1.50.
Public Transport
Travelling by bus is an excellent way to see the island – particularly given that many inland roadside hedgerows dwarf cars and cyclists, blocking the views – and there is an extensive reliable network criss-crossing Jersey. One-day unlimited bus travel passes can be purchased from drivers for £6, while weekend, 5-day and 3-day passes can be bought from the travel office of Liberation bus station.
Public Transport
Given its small size and relatively gentle terrain, hiring a bicycle is another popular way of exploring the island.
Public Transport
Car hire is plentiful both in St Helier and at the airport. Driving is on the left and there is a speed limit of 64kph. Those wishing to hire a car must be over 21-years-old, have had a full licence for at least one year and have no endorsements or disqualifications for dangerous driving or driving over the alcohol limit within the previous five years.
Taxi
There are two types of taxis on the Island: Controlled (Taxis) have yellow roof signs and are able to collect people from the street and official taxi ranks (in St Helier Weighbridge, Library Place and Snow Hill). Restricted (Cabs) will have a white roof sign normally with the company name and the words ’restricted,’ and can only provide door-to-door pick-up. Whatever is chosen, rates will vary dependent on the time of day.
