Tipping in Restaurants
Even if you’re satisfied with the service, tipping is entirely optional in Andorran restaurants. If you want to leave a tip, 5-10% is a good rule of thumb.
A service charge of around 10% may be added to your bill (more likely if you’re dining in a large group). If that’s the case, there’s no need to tip extra.
However, don’t confuse tax with a service charge. If you see “IGI” on your bill, that means “Impost General Indirect”, the Andorran equivalent of Value Added Tax (VAT).
Tipping has actually become less common over time in Andorra, driven largely by the growth in card over cash payments.
If tipping cash, just leave change on the table. Tipping by card? Just tell your waiter the total you’d like to pay, including tip.
Tipping In Pubs, Bars & Cafés
Bartenders, baristas and table servers won’t expect to be tipped in Andorra, even for good service.
Those that do tip would only really do so for good table service, in which case an optional 5-10% would be fine.
Tipping Taxi & Rideshare Drivers
Taxi and rideshare drivers won’t expect a tip here so it’s entirely optional. If you’d like to tip a friendly and courteous driver, 5-10% is perfectly fine.
Tipping The Porter/Bellhop
It’s considered polite to tip a hotel porter around €1-2 per bag.
Tipping Housekeeping
Your housekeeper won’t expect a tip but if their service has been particular good, feel free to tip them around €1-2 per day.
Tipping Tour Guides & Ski Instructors
Tipping your tour guide or ski instructor is completely optional.
They won’t expect a tip but if you’d like to leave them one as a show of appreciation for good service, you could use €5-€10 per person as a rule of thumb (depending on the tour/lesson length and quality).
On a side note, if you’re booking ski lessons, remember that most charge extra for equipment rental.
Which Currency To Use
Stick to the official currency of Andorra, the Euro (Symbol: €, Code: EUR) when paying or tipping.
Despite what some people say, foreign currency payments (e.g. US dollars) aren’t really permitted in most situations.
Even if the retailer or restaurant does accept foreign currency, it’s inconvenient for them as they’ll have to exchange it which will involve time, effort, fees etc.
