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.
