Do Fort-de-France taxi-vans take credit cards?

[jeph]

I will be part of a party of six planning an independent excursion by hiring a taxi-van right off the pier after exiting the ship on the morning of Jan 7th. IF they are now equipped to accept credit cards, as U.S. cabs generally are, that would cut way down on the amount of Euros we would need to have in hand...Does anyone have first-hand recent experience on this point?

Hi- Posted on the other site also.

 

Would not use c card for a taxi.

 

We took a planned excursion in Martinique and were glad we had a good guide.

Risky? Losing cash is risky as you cannot get it back once lost/taken... paying by CC and having a false charge removed is less risky... However, I use CC's for as many transactions as I can on vacation and have NEVER had an issue. I use my CC's on all the islands.
