Car rental in Fort-de-France works from two convenient bases: Martinique Aime Cesaire International Airport (FDF), a short drive east of the capital, and the cruise harbour in the heart of town. At the airport, follow the signs toward the P1 parking area for the rental counters - international names including Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, Sixt and Thrifty operate alongside strong local players such as Jumbo Car and Europcar Martinique, some using a quick free shuttle between terminal and office. Cruise passengers can rent directly near the harbour without backtracking to the airport. Martinique is a French overseas department: you drive on the right, EU-standard rules apply, and the coastal and mountain roads are good - a compact car handles the island comfortably.
