Driving in Andorra with a Grenada Driving Licence: IDP Requirements and Rules
A Grenada licence holder can drive in Andorra only if the documents meet one of the recognition routes in Andorran law. Andorra accepts qualifying foreign national licences and qualifying 1949 Geneva or 1968 Vienna International Driving Permits (IDPs) accompanied by the national licence. The current Grenada national-licence conformity and exact Grenada IDP convention model could not be verified, so the position is conditional rather than a blanket yes.
Quick answer
Do not assume that a valid Grenada licence by itself is automatically recognised. Andorran Article 14 makes recognition depend on the format or legal route of the foreign document. No fixed visitor-day limit was identified in the checked licence provisions, while residents are subject to a separate six-month validity rule.
Legal treatment of the Grenada licence in Andorra
Article 14 of the Andorran driving-permit regulation recognises national licences from non-EU and non-EFTA countries when they conform to Annex 9 of the 1949 Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the 1968 Vienna Convention, including documents differing only by additional headings. The checked authoritative sources did not establish whether the current Grenada driving licence meets either model. That category is therefore unverified – confirm with official authority.
IDP requirement, recommendation and applicable model
Andorra recognises an international permit issued by a non-EU or non-EFTA country in conformity with Annex 10 of the 1949 Geneva Convention or Annex 7 of the 1968 Vienna Convention, provided it accompanies the holder national licence and covers the authorised categories. The Royal Grenada Police Force publishes an International Driving Permit application form, and Grenada legislation gives its Licensing Authority power to issue international driving permits under an applicable International Convention. The checked Grenada sources do not identify the current permit as a 1949 or 1968 model. No separate Grenada-specific Andorran government recommendation to obtain an IDP was verified.
Visitor and resident rules
The checked Andorran provisions do not impose a fixed number of visitor days for use of a qualifying foreign driving document, so max_visitor_days is not stated as a number. For a person who obtains habitual residence in Andorra, a qualifying foreign licence is generally valid for no more than six months from obtaining that residence, subject to validity, age and experience conditions. Article 15 separately requires the foreign licence to be changed for an Andorran equivalent before one year has elapsed from obtaining habitual residence, with the applicable examination and reciprocity rules.
Rental-car requirements
Rental policy is separate from driving law. Europcar publishes an Andorra rental page requiring the normal national driving licence and states that an International Driving Licence is mandatory when the national licence is written in a language different from that of the renting country and/or uses characters that cannot be read there. The international document must accompany the national licence. This verified policy should not be treated as a rule for every rental company.
Police documents and insurance
The Andorran Code of Circulation requires a driver to carry a valid driving permit, the vehicle registration certificate, proof that the vehicle insurance is current and, where applicable, the technical inspection certificate, and to show them to traffic authorities on request. If the driving entitlement relies on an IDP, the recognised IDP must be accompanied by the national licence. No Grenada-licence-specific insurance restriction was verified.
Relevant exceptions
The decisive issue for this pair is the format of the actual Grenada licence or IDP. Recognition cannot safely be inferred merely from possession of a valid Grenada domestic licence. Resident rules are also materially different from visitor treatment. During an Andorran exchange procedure, the Register of Driving Permits may require evidence of authenticity and validity, and supporting certification may have to be translated into the official language of Andorra.

Practical recommendation
Before travel, confirm with the Royal Grenada Police Force Licensing Department which convention model its current IDP follows and ask the Andorran Register of Driving Permits whether the current Grenada national licence satisfies Article 14. Carry the original national licence and, if using an IDP route, carry both documents. Confirm rental documentation directly with the chosen company before collection.
