The road system is well developed and surfaced.

Plentiful and reasonably cheap if shared. The majority of taxis are Mercedes-Benz. Main taxi stands are at major hotels, resorts and the airport.

Documentation

An International Driving Permit is recommended, but a national driving licence is sufficient, provided you have at least one year's experience. The minimum driving age is 21.

Urban travel

Public buses serve Fort-de-France and beyond. Share taxis are called 'taxicos' and can be a great way to meet locals.

Rail

Water

Scheduled ferries ply between Fort-de-France and the main resorts of Trois Îlets and Sainte-Anne via Anse Mitan, Pointe du Bout, Anse à l'Âne and Anses d'Arlet.
