Automatic Car Rental in Martinique
Why Choose an Automatic Car?
In Martinique, you’ll be spending a lot of time on the road. Why? Because public transportation is limited, and the distances between towns and attractions are simply too great to walk or bike. So, renting a car is essential — and renting one with an automatic transmission makes the experience that much smoother.
Martinique’s roads are mostly winding, with plenty of steep hills and coastal turns. Driving a manual in this setting can get tiring fast, especially if you’re not used to constant gear changes. Add in the frequent traffic jams around Fort-de-France and main road bottlenecks, and you’ll quickly appreciate the comfort of an automatic — no clutch, no stalling, just cruise and enjoy the view.

At Jumbo Car Martinique, we’ve handpicked a wide selection of modern, reliable automatic vehicles suited for all types of drivers.

Which Automatic Car Should You Choose for Driving in Martinique?
Not sure which vehicle fits your trip? Here’s how to choose the right automatic rental for Martinique’s unique roads and landscapes.
Compact automatic cars like the Renault Clio, Dacia Sandero Stepway, or Peugeot 208 are great if you're planning to explore Fort-de-France or stay around the southern coast. Easy to park, light on fuel, and perfect for two people or a couple with light luggage.
Automatic SUVs and crossovers, such as the Dacia Duster, Renault Captur, or Peugeot 3008, are ideal for families or travelers heading north into the hills. With more power, space, and comfort, they handle mountain roads with ease and are perfect for day trips across the island.
Electric automatic cars like the Renault Zoé offer a quiet, eco-friendly ride. Great if you're looking to reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying smooth, silent driving through paradise.
All of our cars are regularly maintained, air-conditioned, and available with automatic transmission across most categories. Want the best deal? Book early and keep an eye on availability.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent an Automatic Car in Martinique?

Tips for Renting a Cheap Automatic Car in Martinique
Book early, especially during school holidays or peak travel season. Automatic cars get reserved fast.
Choose the right size. A compact car is fine for two, but a family might prefer an SUV.
Plan your routes in advance. Mountain roads are steep — you’ll want a bit more power up north.
Use your phone for navigation. If your mobile plan includes roaming, there’s no need to pay extra for GPS.
Take photos at pickup. It’s quick, smart, and secure — especially with Jumbo Car’s dedicated app.
Remember: public transportation is limited on the island. Renting a car gives you full freedom to explore without depending on unreliable bus schedules or shared taxis.

FAQ – Automatic Car Rental in Martinique: Everything You Need to Know
What Are the Requirements to Rent an Automatic Car with Jumbo Car Martinique?
What are the requirements to rent an automatic car with Jumbo Car Martinique?
To rent a car in Martinique, you need to meet a few basic conditions:
You must hold a valid driver’s license for at least 1 year and be at least 21 years old. Some more powerful models may require a minimum age of 24. This helps ensure that drivers have enough experience to handle Martinique’s roads safely.
If you plan to add additional drivers, make sure they are also covered by comprehensive insurance.
A security deposit is always required when renting a vehicle.
A credit card is mandatory (in the driver's name). It allows the deposit (usually between €800 and €1,200 for an automatic car) to be held as a pre-authorization without an actual charge. Debit cards often don’t support this feature, or they trigger a real payment, which can be problematic if you cancel or modify your booking.
Always check your card limit before you travel to avoid any last-minute issues at the counter.
Do I need a special license to drive an automatic car in Martinique?
No. A standard driver’s license is all you need, as long as it has been valid for at least one year.
What’s the difference in price between an automatic and a manual car?
Automatic cars are usually slightly more expensive to rent because they tend to be newer and more in demand. However, the extra comfort is well worth it, especially for longer drives.
Is it easy to drive an automatic car in Martinique?
Yes. The main roads are in good condition, and an automatic transmission makes driving much easier, especially in mountainous areas or busy city traffic.
Is an automatic car suitable for exploring the whole island of Martinique?
Absolutely. An automatic rental car is perfect for getting around — whether you're heading to the southern beaches, the northern mountains, downtown Fort-de-France, or along the coastal roads. Renting a car makes it easier to discover the island and enjoy its scenery and local attractions at your own pace.
Do automatic cars use more fuel?
Modern automatic models are very efficient and consume nearly the same amount of fuel as manual ones — with the added bonus of greater driving comfort.
How Much Does Fuel Cost in Martinique?
Fuel prices in Martinique are regulated by the local authorities and are the same at all gas stations across the island. As of now, prices are €1.33/L for unleaded gasoline and €1.15/L for diesel.
It’s always a good idea to check the latest prices before heading out and to plan your routes accordingly. By factoring these rates into your travel budget, you can manage your expenses more easily and enjoy your stay in Martinique without any unexpected surprises.
What is the security deposit for renting an automatic car with Jumbo Car Martinique?
The deposit varies depending on the vehicle, but it’s usually between €800 and €1,200. This amount is temporarily held on your credit card (in the driver's name) as a pre-authorization.
What if it’s my first time driving an automatic?
No worries. Our team will explain everything when you pick up the car, and the controls are easy to get used to. You’ll feel comfortable within just a few minutes.
Can I return the car to a different agency than the pickup location with Jumbo Car Martinique?
Yes. Jumbo Car allows one-way rentals, so you can return the car to a different agency — subject to availability. It’s a convenient option if you want more flexibility when planning your itinerary.

If you are involved in an accident with another identified driver, always make sure to fill out an accident report (a form is available in the glove box).
If no report is completed, you may be held responsible for any damage to the vehicle.
The report must be returned to the agency within 48 hours so it can be submitted to the insurance company.

Why Rent an Automatic Car in Martinique?
Driving in Martinique requires a bit of attention. Some roads are narrow, others climb steep hills, and urban traffic — especially around Fort-de-France — can be dense and unpredictable. Choosing an automatic car rental takes a lot of that stress away. It’s simply the smarter, more comfortable way to explore the island.
If you want to enjoy the ride instead of focusing on constant gear shifting, an automatic transmission is the way to go. It’s a strategic choice, especially for those who value comfort and convenience over technical driving.
Whether you’re navigating a winding mountain road or just cruising along the coast, the benefits are clear:
Less fatigue, especially after a long-haul flight
Smoother driving in hilly or rural areas
Great for drivers who aren’t used to manual gearboxes
Ideal for seniors, new drivers, or families with kids
Renting an automatic car in Martinique means more than just comfort — it’s also a way to drive more safely, with less effort, and focus on what matters most: enjoying the island.

The Route de la Trace: a must-see, even more enjoyable with an automatic

Cultural sites: Habitation Clément, Jardin de Balata, Saint-Pierre
Driving becomes part of the journey. You slow down, take your time, and truly enjoy the island.
