The airport at Jerez is a smart, modern, compact airport with the facilities spread over two floors. In Spanish the airport is known as Aeropuerto de Jerez and in German it is Jerez Flughafen It handled 1,607,834 passengers and 50,364 flights in 2007.

Ryanair have started to offer daily flights to Jerez from London Stansted and this has had quite a dramatic effect on passenger numbers at the airport.

There are four main car hire companies operating at Jerez Airport. Before booking you car you should read more about our experience with car hire at Jerez Airport.

The main companies are:  Avis at Jerez Airport - Centauro at Jerez Airport - Europa at Jerez Airport - Europcar at Jerez Airport      

All four of the above companies have offices which you will find within the airport terminal between the arrivals and departures hall. Crown hire car and National Atesa also offer car rental at Jerez Airport and although you can collect and leave the cars at the airport they don't have fixed offices.

Another large company that operates out of Malaga, Niza car rental, have also just purchased a large plot of land on the outskirts of the airport so its safe to assume that they are expanding into Jerez Airport.

You can fly into Jerez Airport from the UK and Germany. Internal Spanish flights are also available from Barcelona Airport, Palma Airport and Madrid Airport. In fact there are around six flights per day over the summer between Madrid and Jerez.
