Let's face it: taxis are a relatively expensive means of transportation in Martinique. But it is still very useful for those who want more independence. For long distances, don't forget to negotiate the price in advance. Generally speaking, make sure that the car has a taximeter.

This original solution called “taxi-co” resembles an ordinary cab service, with the difference that you will not be alone in the car, but several in a kind of minibus. The fare displayed on board is agreed according to the destination. The frequency of the taxi-co remains regular and reliable, guaranteeing a connection for each of the communes. Note that the returns are assured by the same cabs, with possible descents and ascents on the way. The only drawback is that the cab only leaves once it is full. The wait can therefore sometimes be long…
