Driving in Andorra

Andorra is a mountain principality with no tolls and no motorways, and the driving is dominated by two things: gradient and ski season. The roads in and out are Pyrenean passes, and in winter they carry heavy resort traffic. Delays at peak times are significant, and winter tyres or chains are commonly required given the terrain — check the current requirement before a winter visit rather than assuming your summer setup will do. Andorra uses the euro despite not being an EU member, so there is no currency to change arriving from France or Spain. Limits are 50 in towns and 70 outside; there is no higher category, because there is no road that would warrant one. The alcohol limit is 0.5‰, dropping to 0.3 for novice drivers, and headlights are recommended rather than required in daylight.

More things to know before you drive

Seatbelts
Mandatory front and rear for all occupants.
Mobile phone use
Hands-free only; holding a phone while driving is prohibited.
Child seats
Children require an appropriate child restraint suited to their age and size.
Headlights
Dipped headlights recommended in poor visibility and tunnels; not generally mandatory in daylight otherwise.
Low-emission & restricted zones
No low-emission zone network.
Right of way & roundabouts
Priority to the right at unmarked intersections; roundabouts give way to traffic already circulating. Mountain roads are narrow and winding — use caution and expect slower average speeds.
Parking
Paid parking is common in Andorra la Vella and other towns, especially during ski season, typically via meter or app.
Speed cameras
Fixed and mobile cameras are used on main roads.

Good to know

Uses the euro despite not being an EU member. Mountain roads and heavy seasonal ski traffic can mean significant delays at peak times.
