Exploring Andorra by car offers the perfect blend of breathtaking landscapes, outdoor adventures, and rich cultural experiences. The country’s stunning mountain scenery and picturesque routes, such as Coll de la Gallera and Coll de Beixalis, make for an unforgettable road trip. Having a car provides the freedom to explore at your own pace and adds convenience for everyday essentials like supermarket runs. However, be mindful of parking availability and potential costs.

Given Andorra’s mountainous terrain, you’ll likely be driving at high altitudes and may encounter snow. It’s essential to have snow tires and carry snow chains when traveling in winter conditions. If you’re renting a car from the airport, it’s best to reserve these in advance to ensure a safe and smooth journey.

Be aware that there are customs checkpoints at both the French and Spanish borders. At both entry points, you will need to slow down and stop if indicated, both on the way in and out of Andorra. However, on the way back into Spain it is compulsory to stop and open your truck. If you stop you will usually be asked if you have any alcohol or tobacco, so make sure you know the limit.
