Like much of the Caribbean, Martinique can be a pricey place to travel. Budget travelers should expect to spend at least US$80.00 a day on Martinique, while moderate spenders can keep from going much over US$150.00 by sticking to public transportation and a few picnic meals. Traveling in total comfort will run to US$300.00 a day or more for food and lodging, although you'll obviously spend more if you shop till you drop.

Hotels, larger restaurants and car rental agencies accept Visa (Carte Bleue) and MasterCard (Eurocard). For most other situations, you'll need to use euros. Avoid changing money at hotel lobbies, where the rates are worse than at exchange offices or banks. As in France, taxes and service charges are included in hotel rates and tips are usually included in restaurant bills.
