Air France flies to Miami 3 times a week, with stop in Guadeloupe and Haiti. A local network of regular and charter flights connect Martinique and the other Caribbean island:St Martin -Caracas-Havana.

Transportation:

Car rental firms have agencies all over the island but none has equipped cars with hand control.

Taxis are usually easy to find in the major coastal towns.

There are companies that offer adapted transportation on the island, of which i give you the list here. Prices vary from one company to another and you have to contact them before leaving for Martinique in order to reserve dates and a scheduled time. This would avoid you some bad surprises. Also, if the transportation vehicle doesn't show up on time, just remember that it is most usual here in the Antilles, so don't worry and be patient.

Remember: Don't forget to take into account the time difference (from Paris , -6 hours in summer and- 5 hours in winter).
