Mitsubishi Space Star in Martinique: the ideal economy city car for travelling light

Published on 31 August 2026 · By the Sherley Location team · 5 min read

For a couple, a solo traveller or two friends who just want a simple, economical car that is easy to drive, the Mitsubishi Space Star ticks every box. This Japanese city car has nothing to prove in terms of performance, but it excels where it really matters on holiday: low fuel use, parking anywhere and never breaking down. In Martinique, where fuel is still expensive and the streets of central Fort-de-France are narrow, it is a particularly smart choice.

Why choose the Mitsubishi Space Star in Martinique?

The Space Star has a small 1.2L three-cylinder petrol engine, known for its reliability and efficiency: expect around 5 to 5.5 L/100 km in mixed driving, making it one of the most economical vehicles in our fleet at the pump. Its compact size and very tight turning circle make it especially pleasant to manoeuvre on the island's small winding roads and in the busy streets of Fort-de-France, where finding a parking space can quickly become a headache with a bigger vehicle.

In terms of comfort, the cabin is surprisingly spacious for a city car thanks to a generous wheelbase, and the standard air conditioning is no luxury under the Martinique sun. Add one of the most affordable rental rates in our range, and you get a car designed for a holiday that won't break the bank on fuel or rental.

Mitsubishi Space Star rental rates in Martinique

As with the rest of our fleet, the Space Star's daily rate varies with the time of year of your stay:

Unlimited mileage included, excluding extras and delivery, with a sliding-scale discount from 15 days of rental.

Who is this car for?

• Solo travellers and couples : two comfortable front seats and enough boot space for a light-luggage stay.
• Cruise passengers on a one-day stopover in Fort-de-France who want a simple car for a few hours without paying for a large vehicle.
• Travellers watching their fuel budget, who want to explore the island without dreading every trip to the pump.
• Drivers used to city driving, who will appreciate how easy it is to park in the narrow streets of Fort-de-France.

Our best routes with the Space Star

Light and easy to drive, this small car is perfect for a gentle discovery of Martinique : the southern beaches (Sainte-Anne, Les Salines) reached by pleasant straight roads, or a relaxed drive to historic Fort-de-France. On the more winding Route de la Trace towards Balata it remains nimble, although an SUV such as the Dacia Duster will be more at ease on the steepest stretches in the north.
