French drivers are increasingly making trips to Andorra to take advantage of significantly lower fuel prices and taxes on goods like tobacco and alcohol. Stations near the French border, such as the Pas de la Case station, are seeing a steady stream of vehicles. On a recent Tuesday, diesel in Andorra was priced at 1.677 euros per liter, while unleaded 95 was 1.685 euros per liter—well below the over 2 euros per liter seen in most parts of France. Some drivers travel more than 100 kilometers to fill up, saving up to 70 cents per liter on fuel. The savings extend beyond just fuel. Andorra has much lower prices on items like cigarettes and alcohol. A pack of 200 cigarettes, for example, costs about 35 euros in Andorra, compared to 130 euros in France. Marie Guérin, a 40-year-old from Brittany, said the lower prices are a key reason she visits Andorra for shopping and other activities. The country has long aimed to keep fuel prices low, with temporary tax reductions on fuel beginning in July. The value-added tax (VAT) in Andorra is 4.5 percent, and diesel is taxed at around 38 cents per liter, plus VAT. In early September, an additional 15 cents per liter was cut from the diesel price, with 10 cents from government action and 5 cents from private fuel stations. The goal of these reductions is to make prices more affordable for both locals and visitors. Many French retirees are traveling to Andorra to fill up their vehicles, with Alain Perez from Toulouse driving 150 kilometers in a camping van to save on fuel. He said filling his tank in France would cost 170 euros, but in Andorra it costs only 119 euros using a jerrican. Some visitors bring jerricans in their vehicles to transport fuel, but they must follow strict customs rules. These rules allow only the amount of fuel that fits in the vehicle's tank, plus a 10-liter reserve container that is watertight and meets safety standards. Some Andorran stations even sell approved, reusable 10-liter jerricans directly to customers, making it easier for travelers to comply with the regulations.
