We welcome you to the Island of Flowers! With just over 1,100 km², Martinique is a vibrant little paradise where sea meets mountain, river meets forest, all within a tropical climate hovering around 30°C all year round.
But how can you make the most of these beautiful spots?
It's important to know that there are two bus networks allowing you to move from north to south in Martinique at a low cost, but they do not reach most tourist locations. Therefore, we recommend considering car rental.
Which car rental agencies are in Martinique ?
The majority of rental companies on the island are based around the airport. As a result, upon your arrival, you can collect your rental and return it just before your departure. You'll find companies like Hertz, Alwego, Sixt, Europcar, Jumbo Car, Ramia Auto Service, Keddy, Autolagon, Flex Auto Location, Martinik's Car Rental, ADA, Balata Auto, Budget Martinique, Auto Discount Location, Hibiscus Location, Youpi Location, and Melaclem Car Rental.
What Budget to Expect for Renting a Car in Martinique ?
When renting a car, you will always be required to provide certain documents such as a driving license of two years or more, a deposit that varies depending on the agency and type of vehicle, and an ID card or passport.
During the low season, you'll be able to rent these cars at these prices:
Between 30 and 80 euros per day for a compact car
Between 80 and 280 euros per day for a 4X4
Between 40 and 100 euros per day for an SUV In the high season, for each car model, you can expect:
Between 40 and 90 euros per day for a compact car
Between 120 and 280 euros per day for a 4X4
Between 50 and 110 euros per day for an SUV For families, there are also suitable cars available. Lastly, for your young children, it's possible to rent an appropriate child seat to ensure a safe vacation.
What cars are best for traveling on the roads of Martinique?
Depending on your location in Martinique, the roads vary to some extent. In the north, they are relatively winding and steep. Therefore, a 4X4 type of vehicle would be more suitable. In the central region, the roads are flatter. In fact, this area is even crossed by the only highway on the island.
So, you could opt for compact cars. Furthermore, in the south, you will likely enjoy swimming at one of the white sandy beaches or going for a short hike at Morne Larcher. This involves a lot of driving in a day and requires appropriate equipment. A spacious enough car, to accommodate your diving gear, sneakers, possibly your surfboard, and beach chairs, wouldn't be excessive.
Our Advice on Car Rental in Madinina
- Be prepared: Martinique offers a wide variety of activities. You might want to explore distilleries in the north in the morning and end your day at a beach in the south. An all-terrain vehicle would be preferable.
- Don't wait until the last moment: Even though there is a wide selection of rental agencies, during peak seasons they are all in high demand. You might end up not finding vehicles suitable for your needs or finding them at a higher cost than if you had booked earlier.
- Use a price comparison tool like Liligo or Rentalcars, for example. This will save you valuable time that you can spend planning your vacation on the island.
- Favor the low seasons as prices are lower.
