Do I Need to Pay Tolls in Andorra? 2025 Update
No, you don't need to pay tolls to drive in Andorra - except for one tunnel. The Envalira Tunnel is the only toll road in the entire country, connecting the ski resort of Grau Roig with Pas de la Casa near the French border.
Key Reality: All other roads in Andorra are completely toll-free, including the main CG-1 to Spain and CG-2 to France. The tunnel simply provides a faster route avoiding the challenging Envalira Pass with its 8%+ gradients.
2025 Update: Electric vehicles continue to receive discounts, while residents and workers of Pas de la Casa maintain their 50% discount on standard rates.
Andorra Toll Costs: Current Rates
The Envalira Tunnel operates a simple flat-rate toll system with discounts for residents and special rates for different vehicle categories.

Category 2 | Intermediate vehicles (vans 2-3m height, up to 3.5t) | €13.90 | Contact operator |

Seasonal Considerations
