✈️ Aimé Césaire airport

Car hire at Martinique airport

Your vehicle is waiting for you in a car park 3 minutes' walk from the terminal exit. No shuttle, no counter, no queue — insurance and unlimited mileage included.

⏱️ 3 minutes' walk 🚌 No shuttle 📄 No counter 🛡️ Insurance included
The handover

After an eight-hour flight, one less queue

Most airport hire companies work with a counter and a shuttle. When several flights land at once, the waits add up: counter, paperwork, shuttle, car park. We have built the opposite.

⏱️

A car park opposite the terminal

You collect your luggage, you walk out, and you head three minutes to the right. The car park is there. An agent hands you the keys in person, and off you go. Detailed instructions and the access map reach you before your flight: you know exactly where to go before you have even landed.

🛡️

All included, no surprises

Essential protection included, unlimited mileage, air conditioning on every vehicle, no platform commission since you book direct. The price quoted is the price paid — that has been our rule since day one. The details are on our prices page.

An agent, not a call centre

A question about the road up north, a doubt when it is time to return the vehicle, a delayed flight: you reach a person who knows the island and knows your booking. Our 100-plus Google reviews at 5.0 are mostly about that.

How it works

Your car in four steps

Everything is arranged before you set off, so that your arrival is nothing more than a few minutes' formality.

You book online

You choose your dates, your vehicle and the airport as your pick-up location. Give us your flight number: we follow the actual times. Immediate answer, no middleman.

You receive your instructions

Before your flight: the map to the car park, the route from the terminal exit and the handover arrangements. The security deposit is paid remotely, online.

You collect the vehicle

A three-minute walk, and an agent hands you the keys. An air-conditioned car, checked over, with a full tank. Photograph it and film a walk-around: anything recorded when you leave cannot be blamed on you when you come back.

You hand back the keys

Tank refilled, vehicle parked in the spot indicated. Our instructions also cover very early flights and late returns.

From the airport

What the car opens up the moment you land

Aimé Césaire airport is at Le Lamentin, in the centre of the island. It is an ideal position: almost all of Martinique is less than an hour away. Public transport, on the other hand, serves the southern beaches, the Route de la Trace and the Caribbean north poorly — that is where the car changes everything.

Fort-de-France — about 15 minutes. The town centre, the seafront and the ferry across to Les Trois-Îlets.

Les Trois-Îlets and Anse Mitan — about 30 minutes. The hotel area closest to the airport.

Le Diamant — about 35 minutes. The rock, the long open beach, and the wind that drops at the end of the day.

Sainte-Anne and Les Salines — about 45 minutes. The picture-postcard south, best done early in the morning for the shade and the space.

Saint-Pierre — about 50 minutes along the Caribbean coast. The old capital, its ruins and its black sand.

Montagne Pelée and the north — 1hr 15 to 1hr 30 to the trailheads. A full day, and a car is essential.

Journey times are indicative, outside peak hours.

What to know before you land

Airport delivery is charged at €15 for delivery and €15 for the return. These amounts appear when you book, never on arrival. Collection at our branch at the Pointe des Grives, in Fort-de-France, is free of charge.

The security deposit is paid before you arrive, online, on a credit card in the main driver's name. On the day you pick the car up, there is nothing left to settle on that front. The amounts and how the two options work are set out on our deposit, insurance and cancellation page.

Traffic. The island's only real bottleneck is the ring road between Le Lamentin and Fort-de-France, between 7am and 9am and then between 4pm and 6.30pm. Outside those windows, the road flows freely. Our article Driving in Martinique covers the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring a car at Martinique airport

Where do you pick up your hire car at Martinique airport?

In a private car park about 3 minutes' walk from the exit of the Aimé Césaire terminal, on your right as you come out. An agent hands you the keys in person. There is no shuttle to wait for, no counter and no queue: detailed instructions and the access map are sent to you before your flight.

How long does it take to collect your vehicle on arrival?

Allow about 3 minutes' walk from the terminal exit, then a few minutes for the key handover and the condition report. All the administrative side — contract and security deposit — is settled online before your flight: there is nothing left to sign on arrival.

Is there a delivery fee at the airport?

Airport delivery is charged at €15 and the return at €15, so €30 for a round trip. These amounts are stated when you book, never added on arrival. Collection at our branch at the Pointe des Grives, in Fort-de-France, is free of charge.

What if my flight is delayed or arrives very early in the morning?

Give us your flight number when you book: we follow the actual times and adjust the handover accordingly. Very early departures and late returns are covered by specific instructions sent with your booking.

Are insurance and mileage included in the price?

Yes. All our vehicles are hired with essential protection and unlimited mileage included, along with air conditioning. You book direct with us, with no platform commission: the price quoted is the price paid.

Can I return the vehicle somewhere other than the airport?

Yes. You can return the vehicle to our branch at the Pointe des Grives, to the cruise port or to the Express des Îles terminal. Simply give the location you want when you book — any fees are shown before you confirm.
