Getting Around by Road
Bus: A limited although inexpensive service is provided within the communes. Most of Martinique’s public transport is served by communal taxis, denoted by the sign TC. TCs depart at frequent intervals from Pointe Simon (by the waterfront in Fort-de-France) to destinations all over the islands, making stops along the way. Fares are fixed and are reasonable. TCs run from early morning until 1800.
Taxi: Government-controlled, plentiful and reasonably cheap if shared. The majority of taxis are Mercedes-Benz. There is a 40% surcharge at night (2000-0600). Main taxi stands are at major hotels, resorts and the airport.
Car hire: The island has excellent car hire facilities. 50cc mopeds do not need a licence. Bicycles can also be hired.
Documentation: An International Driving Permit is recommended, but a national driving licence is sufficient, provided the driver has at least one year’s experience. The minimum driving age is 21.
