Taxis in Andorra: fares, stops, and booking in summer

Taxis in Andorra are a service regulated by the Government of Andorra, with official fares published in the BOPA and operated mainly by the Associació de Taxistes d'Andorra (ATA). It is available 24 hours a day, operates from physical stops as well as by phone or app, and covers the entire territory: from Andorra la Vella to Pas de la Casa. In this article, you will find the current official fares, the main stops, how to book (including the two available apps), and what to consider if you travel in summer.

How does the taxi service work in Andorra?

Taxis in Andorra operate differently from what many travelers expect. You don't hail a taxi on the street by raising your hand: the system primarily works from fixed stops located at strategic points in each parish, or by calling the ATA central office. In recent years, the sector has completed its integration into the digital ecosystem, and today it is also possible to request a taxi directly from your mobile via an app.

The Associació de Taxistes d'Andorra (ATA): the official service

The ATA is the organization that groups together the taxi drivers of the Principality. Its fares are regulated by the Government of Andorra and officially published in the Butlletí Oficial del Principat d'Andorra (BOPA), which guarantees that there are no negotiated prices or arbitrary fares. All vehicles have a taximeter and drivers are licensed. The central office can be reached at +376 845 555 and +376 863 000.

Ways to hire a taxi in Andorra

There are four ways to request a taxi in Andorra:

• Taxi stand: go directly to one of the official stops distributed throughout Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany.
• Phone: call the ATA central office (+376 863 000 / +376 828 000), available 24 hours a day.
• Taxi Andorra App: connects directly with ATA taxi drivers. The service operates with a taximeter and official regulated fare.

• CityXerpa Move: VTC (vehicle with driver) service with its own app. It is not a taxi regulated by the ATA: the price is calculated before confirming the trip, without a taximeter.

Taxis in Andorra are now digital: two apps to get around without calling

The taxi sector in Andorra has made a significant leap in recent years, and today travelers can manage everything from their mobile. The app Taxi Andorra allows you to request an ATA taxi directly, with a regulated fare and taximeter. CityXerpa Move, on the other hand, is the only VTC service in the Principality: it calculates the price of the trip before confirming the reservation, is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and also accepts trips originating or destined outside Andorra. Both options are compatible with the Andorran transport ecosystem and cover most of the territory.

Do taxis in Andorra operate 24 hours a day?

Yes. The taxi service in Andorra is available 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays. Availability may be more limited at night in areas far from the center, so in such situations, it is recommended to book in advance by calling the central office or through the app.

Andorra Taxi App

CityXerpa Move

CityXerpa is the only VTC service in the Principality of Andorra. Unlike traditional taxis, the price of the journey is calculated before confirming the trip, which allows you to know exactly how much it will cost without surprises. It works through its own app (available on iOS and Android) and on andorra.com. It is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and also accepts trips originating or destined outside Andorra.

CityXerpa does not operate with a taximeter or under ATA's fare regulation: it is a different service, complementary to traditional taxis, with its own pricing structure.

Scheduled booking: when to book in advance

For trips scheduled in advance (airport transfers, excursions, late-night arrivals), the ATA requests that bookings be made at least 48 hours in advance. For journeys over 600 km, the minimum notice is 24 hours. If you haven't been able to book with enough time, call the central office directly to check immediate availability.

What you should know if you take a taxi in Andorra in summer?

In summer, Andorra experiences a high influx of visitors, especially in July and August. This directly affects taxi availability during certain time slots.

Peak demand hours

The peak demand periods during high season are:

• 8:00–9:00 AM: departure for activities, early transfers.
• 4:00–6:00 PM: end of activities, descent from mountain areas, return to accommodation.

During these periods, both physical taxi stands and apps may have longer waiting times.

Tips to avoid being without a taxi in summer

• For early morning or late evening transfers, always book in advance by phone or app.
• If you have accommodation outside the center "La Massana, Ordino, Canillo", check taxi availability in your area before relying on them to return.
• For weekend nights in dining areas outside of Andorra la Vella, book your return taxi before you leave.
• The night bus service (Bus Nit) covers some routes until 3:00–5:00 AM on weekends and is an alternative to consider for regular sections.

Can you go by taxi from the airport to Andorra?

Andorra does not have its own airport. International travelers usually arrive via the airports of Barcelona, Girona, or the closest one, the Andorra-La Seu (LEU) airport in La Seu d'Urgell.

From Girona airport to Andorra

The Girona-Costa Brava (GRO) airport is approximately 197 km from Andorra la Vella, with a journey time of about 2 hours and 40 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Private transfer services from Girona to Andorra have an indicative price starting from €300 for vehicles up to 4 passengers, according to the transfer platforms consulted. It is advisable to compare and book in advance.

From Barcelona (El Prat) airport to Andorra

Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) is about 200 km away. The private transfer to Andorra la Vella has an estimated price of between €260 and €350 for a standard vehicle for up to 4 people. The journey time ranges from 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on traffic.

From Andorra-La Seu Airport (LEU)

La Seu d'Urgell Airport is the closest: about 12 km from Andorra la Vella. From there, you can get to Andorra la Vella by taxi, transfer, or rental car in approximately 20 minutes. The official ATA fare for La Seu d'Urgell from Andorra la Vella is €31.45.

Is a taxi worth it or is a direct bus better?

To get from Barcelona or Girona, services from companies like Andbus, ALSA, or Directbus are a significantly more economical alternative, with prices ranging from €30 to €50 per person. Private transfer mainly pays off when traveling in a group, with a lot of luggage, or needing to reach a specific point without stops.

Does the taxi service in Andorra offer special services?

Pets

Yes. ATA taxis accept pets, but it is essential to inform them at the time of booking and indicate the animal's size. In some cases, an appropriate carrier may be necessary.

Child seats

Available upon prior request. Andorran legislation does not require the use of a child seat in a taxi within the Principality, but if you are traveling outside Andorra or simply prefer to ensure the child's safety, the ATA can provide one. Always indicate this when booking.

People with reduced mobility

The ATA has assistance devices for people with reduced mobility. It is necessary to communicate this when booking so that the vehicle is prepared with the appropriate equipment.

Special luggage: bicycles, skis, and large suitcases

Andorran taxis are equipped with bike racks, ski racks, trailers, and adapted trunks. If you are traveling with sports equipment or large suitcases, please indicate this when booking to ensure that the vehicle has the necessary space or accessory.

Groups of up to 7 passengers

The ATA fleet includes vehicles for up to 7 people. For large groups, it is advisable to book in advance and indicate the exact number of passengers.

What languages do the taxi drivers speak?

ATA drivers speak Catalan, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English. When booking, you can request a driver who speaks your language.

Payment methods

ATA taxis accept cash, credit card, and Bizum.

Taxi or bus in Andorra? Which to choose depending on your trip

Neither option is objectively better: it depends on your situation, destination, and time of day.

The bus is the most economical option for trips between well-connected parishes and within service hours. The taxi and CityXerpa are the best options for night hours, destinations without frequent bus coverage, groups with luggage, or when comfort and punctuality are priorities.
