EVie – Smarter, Greener Travel from Guernsey Harbour

The Greener, Smarter Way to Get Around

Since launching at Guernsey Harbour earlier this year, EVie has been helping visitors and locals explore the island in a way that’s flexible, affordable, and sustainable.

As the Channel Islands’ only fully electric shared mobility provider, EVie vehicles are bookable through an easy-to-use app.

A New Way to Travel

Whether you’re stepping off the ferry or planning a holiday, EVie takes the stress out of organising transport.

  • Bookings can be made as little as one hour before
  • Insurance, charging, and running costs are all included
  • Book up to three months in advance, or instantly on arrival
  • Free cancellations up to 60 minutes before your trip

“EVie is designed to be as simple and affordable as possible – arrive, book, unlock, drive,” explains Nick Perchard-Rees, CEO of EVie. “Your phone is your key.”

A Partnership Driving Change

The launch of EVie at Guernsey Harbour has been made possible thanks to a close partnership with the Guernsey Ports team, whose support and collaboration were instrumental in establishing this new location.

With a significant boost in visitor numbers this season, the arrival of EVie is perfectly timed.

Together, Guernsey Ports and EVie are working to embrace new ways of travelling that support the island’s wider environmental goals.

At the Heart of the Harbour

Guernsey Harbour is now EVie’s fifth location on the island, joining a growing network of pick-up points. Being based at the harbour makes it easy for passengers to start their journey as soon as they arrive.

Behind the scenes, the EVie team makes sure vehicles are fully charged, clean, and ready to go every day. A dedicated support line also helps customers with everything from app queries to first-time driving tips.

EVie also connects inter-island travellers. With vehicles available at both Guernsey and Jersey harbours, passengers can step straight off the ferry and into a car on either side of their trip.

Almost 10,000 Trips and Counting

Since the start of 2025, EVie users across the Channel Islands have already completed nearly 10,000 trips – a milestone that reflects the growing demand for sustainable, shared transport.

Every journey in an EVie car helps reduce emissions, cut congestion, and support a cleaner, greener island environment.

Looking Ahead

The Guernsey Harbour launch is just the beginning. EVie plans to expand its fleet at the harbour, making sustainable travel even more convenient for both residents and visitors.

EVie’s Top Travel Tip

Take your time. Guernsey is full of hidden gems – from tucked-away bays to stunning cliff paths. With EVie, you can stop, explore, and enjoy the island at your own pace.

From Guernsey Ports

“We are delighted to welcome EVie to Guernsey Harbour. Its service supports our ambition to make travel through the island’s ports more sustainable. This partnership has been especially valuable during such a busy season, and we’re excited to see how it will continue to grow.”

 David Buddery, Commercial Development Project Manager, Guernsey Ports

Since launching in April 2025, SiXT Car Hire has become a key player in enhancing the visitor experience at Guernsey Airport. As one of only two car rental companies based on-site at Guernsey Airport, SiXT brings quality vehicles, personalised service, and a warm welcome to passengers from the moment they land.

A new name with big ambitions

Though new to the island, SiXT has quickly made its mark by focusing on high-quality vehicles and a customer-first approach.

The local SiXT franchise is operated by Van Mossel Jacksons, combining leading international standards with significant experience of the local market.

Whether visitors are here for a quick business trip or a long family holiday, the SiXT team ensures a seamless, stress-free start to their Guernsey adventure.

“We go the extra mile to provide a friendly and stress-free service,” says James Spencer, Senior Branch Manager for SIXT in both Guernsey and Jersey. “We want every customer to leave remembering not just the car, but the experience.”

Meet the team behind the wheel

It’s the people behind SiXT who truly drive the experience:

  • Kelly, one of the two Retail Sales Agents, is known for her bubbly personality and exceptional local knowledge. A mother of four, she brings a warm and personable touch to every customer interaction, especially for those unfamiliar with the island.
  • Riccardo, originally from Northern Italy, brings his vibrant hospitality experience and love for Guernsey to the team. His Italian charm and go-to tips for island restaurants always leave customers smiling.
  • James, the Senior Branch Manager, brings 25+ years of customer service and leadership experience. He’s made it his mission to deliver top-tier service and bring a dash of humour to the office—especially when cake is involved (he’s partial to butter icing, we’re told!).

A typical day at SiXT

Every day brings something different. From tracking incoming flights and prepping vehicles to giving personalised recommendations, the SiXT team adapts to meet the unique needs of each customer.

“We love being the first point of contact for so many visitors,” says Riccardo. “That first ‘Welcome to Guernsey’ moment really matters.”

Behind the scenes, the team is constantly working to keep the fleet in pristine condition while also managing reservations, tracking flight updates, and offering guidance - even when it’s not directly related to car hire.

A local touch (and a few laughs)

Customer service is at the heart of SiXT’s success. Whether it’s helping navigate unexpected travel changes or recommending the best spot for Guernsey crab, the team’s knowledge goes far beyond rental contracts.

And there have been a few funny moments along the way, like ordering their uniforms in the wrong sizes - thanks to a mix-up between UK and EU sizing. “Let’s just say the photos didn’t make it to the socials,” laughs James.

Growing fast, thinking forward

In just a few short months, SiXT has already built a loyal customer base with plenty of repeat bookings. Always listening to feedback, the team has recently expanded their offering with four new vehicle models added to the fleet.

Their future focus? Continue improving, adapting, and delivering exceptional service that lives up to their motto: "Quality cars, personalised service."

SiXT’s top travel tip

“Be organised. Guernsey weather (and travel plans!) can be unpredictable. But we’re always here, ready to help - even if it’s not car-related.”

If you're arriving in Guernsey soon, you’ll find the SiXT desk just inside the airport terminal. Pop by, say hello, and let them help you make the most of your time on the island - wheels and all.
