AndorraDriving across the border
Yes — you can drive from Spain into Andorra, and you should carry an International Driving Permit alongside your national licence. An IDP is recommended in Andorra and required if your licence is not in the Roman alphabet, in the 1949 Geneva format. Both countries drive on the right, so there is no change of driving side at the border. Plan your border crossing in advance and keep your passport, national licence and IDP together.
