Skip the rental counter queues
Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (FDF) is in Le Lamentin, 15 minutes from Fort-de-France. At the big international counters, waiting times can exceed an hour in high season. With Sherley Location, a team member waits for you at the Hall B exit with a sign bearing your name, walks you to your car and completes the inspection with you: you drive off about 15 minutes after collecting your luggage. Send us your flight number on WhatsApp and we track your arrival in real time, so a delayed flight is never a problem. Evening arrivals are welcome 7 days a week.

Driving times from the airport
From the airport, take the N5 via Ducos and Rivière-Salée to the south: about 30 minutes to Les Trois-Îlets or Sainte-Luce and 45 minutes to Sainte-Anne. Fort-de-France is 15 minutes away on the ring road, and the north Caribbean coast (Le Carbet, Saint-Pierre) about 1 hour. Heading to the Atlantic side, Le Robert is 20 minutes and Le François 25 minutes.
Driving tips around the airport
The ring road around Fort-de-France and the Lamentin interchange are busy from 7 to 9 am and 4 to 6 pm: plan an early arrival or a late departure. Fill up at the stations near the airport before returning the car; fuel prices are regulated and the same everywhere on the island.
Martinique drives on the right with the same road rules as mainland France. Tropical showers are sudden: slow down on wet roads, especially on hillside bends. Night falls around 6:30 pm all year round, so plan your drive back from the beach.
When to book your airport car?
High season runs from November to April, the dry and sunny season, plus July and August during school holidays. Automatics, SUVs and 7 to 9-seaters go fast: book four to eight weeks ahead for Christmas, Carnival and Easter. From May to June and in September and October, prices drop noticeably and the roads are quieter; the rainy season brings short, heavy showers without stopping you from enjoying the island.
