We rented a car there in 2001 when we cruised on NCL and traffic was terrible, it was very stressful (and I live near Washington DC, so I know traffic!). I only remember the traffic being bad around Fort de France, especially at rush hour. But that would be just when you are leaving the ship and returning to it. Exactly. We had bad traffic all the way to St. Pierre, (Where the volcano is, I think, that is the name of the town) and once there, after looking for a half hour, we could not park and never did see the sight. We then went into the center of the island, where the issue was much worse. But the traffic for that first hour or so was enough to sour much of our experience. If I go to Martinique again, I would not rent a car, but rather take a taxi, or possibly a shore excursion, although I avoid them, because of this experience. My husband's response was much more negative than mine (he was driving) he says he will never got to Martinique again! St. Martin/Sint Maartin is another story. We rented a car there, also, walked about 3/4 of a mile to the car agency and had no problem. We visited the Butterfly farm, Orient beach, Grand CAse and Marigot before returning to Philipsburg and it was very very pleasant.
