Top tips for hiring a car in Martinique
- You should be aware that legal blood-alcohol levels in Martinique (50 mg) are lower than in many US cities (80 mg), so it is not recommended that you operate a vehicle if you’ve had more than one drink. Radars and speed cameras are in regular use as well, so pay close attention to the speedometer to avoid being ticketed, especially when driving at night.
- When it comes to parking your rental car, you can park almost anywhere in Martinique except in the capital city of Fort de France, where you can find car parks and lots with attendants, which may be more convenient. Street parking is generally free on Sundays, and many hotels will have secured parking lots for client use in most cases.
- From Fort de France, there is a network of highways that connect you to various parts of the island, if you decide to rent a car in Martinique. The N1, N2, and N3 are major roads with access to the northern region of the country. If you wish to drive across to Presqu’ile de la Caravelle, then take the N4 East. To travel to the southern region of the island, the N5 and N6 are the best routes to use.
- Some people who choose to rent a car in Martinique may wish to get a vehicle with a GPS system to help them navigate around the island. If one is not available, a good road map from a petrol station should suffice, or you can purchase a local SIM card and make use of Google Maps on your mobile device to find some choice beaches to explore. Wi-Fi tends to be very limited around the Island.
- Book your rental car in Martinique at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Martinique are around 44% cheaper than other car types, on average
