KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Fort-de-France
When it comes to car hire in Fort-de-France, you'll find that this is the best option for transport in the city and beats using public transport which though available and consistently improving, can be a burden when having to wait for buses to get around. You’ll have all the freedom to drive around the city and explore other areas of Martinique Island and not have to rely on bus schedules. From here, you can reach plenty of other places such as Le Robert across the island which takes around 25 minutes to drive.
If you’re thinking about car hire in Fort-de-France, then hiring a car from one of several car hire agencies at the airport is the only way to do it.

In Port-de-France and Martinique in general, you’ll find a lot of windy roads to contend with. Being a mountainous island, you’ll also have to go up and down a lot of hills, so be careful when taking on such roads especially if you’re not used to them. In addition, the city has various roads with speed bumps that sometimes can be difficult to distinguish especially at night, as they are very similar to standard pedestrian crossings. So, keep your eyes peeled and drive safely.
For Port-de-France car hire, when driving around the city and particularly outside the city, it’s recommended to avoid driving at night during the weekends. Purely because streets tend to be busier with people going out and enjoying themselves while local drivers tend to speed around a lot more and drive in a more aggressive way. You’ll find that main streets are well lit but other smaller roads may have poor lighting, making it tricky to navigate.
