Staying at Pointe du Bout, Anse Mitan or anywhere else on the peninsula, and looking for car rental in Les Trois-Îlets? We are a Martinican company and we hand over a vehicle that is ready to drive, with a local team available 7 days a week — so you can leave the bay behind and see the whole island.
Trois-Îlets is where you sleep — the island is elsewhere
The commune holds a large share of Martinique's tourist accommodation: the Pointe du Bout hotels, the Anse Mitan residences, rentals around the marina. It is an excellent base, quiet and well equipped, facing Fort-de-France across the bay.
But most of what makes Martinique worth the trip is a drive away: the southern beaches, Mount Pelée in the north, the Route de la Trace, the rum distilleries. Without a vehicle you stay within a few kilometres — and you miss the island.
The ferry does not replace a car
From Pointe du Bout, the passenger ferry crosses the bay to Fort-de-France, and it is by far the nicest way into town: no drive around the bay, no city traffic.
Perfect for a day in the capital — everything about renting a car in Fort-de-France is on our dedicated page. But the ferry only covers that crossing: the moment you want to reach Sainte-Anne, Le Diamant, Saint-Pierre or the heights, a car becomes essential again. Most visitors end up combining the two: boat for the city, car for the island.
Collecting your vehicle
Most of our customers collect their car at Aimé Césaire airport on arrival, then drive straight to their accommodation in Les Trois-Îlets. It is the simplest option: the vehicle is ready when you land and there is no transfer to arrange.
We also have a second collection point at the port of Fort-de-France, handy if you arrive by boat or pass through the capital. You choose your pick-up point when you book.
What to see in Les Trois-Îlets
The commune is worth exploring in itself, and a car lets you do it without depending on timetables:
- Pointe du Bout and its marina — the tourist heart, restaurants and boat trips.
- Anse Mitan and Anse à l'Âne — the local beaches, a few minutes apart by car.
- The pottery village — craft workshops set in a former brickworks.
- La Savane des Esclaves — a reconstructed Creole village and a walk through the island's history.
- The golf course — an 18-hole course overlooking the bay.
Heading south, the road continues to Les Anses-d'Arlet and Le Diamant, two classic stops on a first week in Martinique.
Which vehicle to choose
A city car is enough to get around the commune and reach the beaches, and it parks easily at Pointe du Bout, where spaces are tight in high season. Travelling as a family, or planning to cover the whole island? A roomier model will be more comfortable on the long northern roads. Our fleet covers both, and vans are available if you have equipment to carry.
A local company, all inclusive
We are based in Martinique, not in a call centre on the other side of the world. A local team available 7 days a week and unlimited mileage are included: you know what you are getting before you drive off, with no extras added at a counter. Staying several weeks or months? Our long-term rental is a better fit than a string of short rentals.
Book your car for Les Trois-Îlets
Martinique is booked ahead, especially from December to April and in July and August, when demand is high and availability shrinks fast. Once your dates are set, book your vehicle online — it is the best way to get the model you want on the day you want it.
Frequently asked questions
Do we really need a car if we are staying at Pointe du Bout?
To stay in the commune and visit Fort-de-France, the ferry is enough. For the rest of the island — the southern beaches, the north, the distilleries, Mount Pelée — a car is necessary: distances and terrain make the alternatives impractical.
Is parking easy in Les Trois-Îlets?
It depends on the season and the time of day. Around the marina and Pointe du Bout, spaces fill quickly in high season and late in the day. A city car parks more easily than a large vehicle if you are staying in that area.
Can we return the car at the airport when we leave?
Yes. If you collect the car at Aimé Césaire Airport, you return it there on your departure day. If you collect it at the Fort-de-France harbour, tick “Return to a different location” when booking and choose the airport.
