About the Swiss vignette

The Swiss vignette is a mandatory road document required from drivers using Swiss motorways and certain tolled road sections. It applies to all motor vehicles and trailers with a gross weight not exceeding 3.5 tonnes.

Since August 2023, when Switzerland introduced its digital vignette system, drivers can choose between a digital vignette or the traditional sticker.

The official Swiss vignette is only issued as an annual vignette with 14 months of validity — starting 1 December of the year before and running until 31 January of the following year. Using Swiss toll roads without a valid vignette, in either form, may result in a fine.

Important note: the Swiss vignette has no cooling-off period — it is valid and usable immediately after purchase.

Vignette validity — 2026 and 2027

Each annual vignette is tied to a fixed calendar period — it doesn't matter when during that period you buy it.

2026 vignette
Valid 14 months: from 1 December 2025 to 31 January 2027, 23:59
2027 vignette
Valid 14 months: from 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2028, 23:59 — available for purchase from 1 December 2026
  • Allows unlimited entries and exits — cross the border as many times as you like during the validity period.
  • The validity period is fixed for each vignette year, regardless of the day you actually purchase it.
  • The price is fixed too — even if you only need to cross once, you pay the same annual rate.

Vignette requirements for different vehicles

The e-vignette is mandatory for vehicles and trailers with a total weight of up to 3.5 tonnes. This includes:

Passenger cars
Motorcycles
Camper vans and motorhomes under the weight limit

If you are towing a trailer or caravan, you will need a separate vignette for it — both the towing vehicle and the trailer must carry their own valid vignette.

Vehicles exceeding the 3.5-tonne weight limit fall under a different toll system, the performance-related heavy vehicle charge (HVF). Foreign vehicles, including those from neighbouring countries, also need a valid e-vignette to use Swiss motorways.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is the Swiss e-vignette?

The Swiss e-vignette is a digital road-toll permit that replaces the old paper sticker: instead of something stuck to your windscreen, your right to use the motorway network is recorded electronically against your license plate. Border staff and roadside cameras check it automatically, so nothing needs to be visible inside the car.

Is it compulsory to have one on Swiss motorways?

Yes — any vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes must carry a valid vignette before entering a Swiss motorway or expressway. Driving without one exposes you to an on-the-spot fine of CHF 200, on top of still having to buy the vignette.

How does the digital registration work?

Once you complete your order, the plate number and country you entered are written into the national toll database within minutes. From that point, any automatic reader or officer checking your plate sees a valid vignette — there's no ticket to print or display.

How long does a vignette stay valid?

One vignette covers a 14-month window: from 1 December of the year before to 31 January of the year after the sticker's printed year. A 2026 vignette, for example, runs from 1 December 2025 through 31 January 2027.

Which vehicles need one?

Cars, motorbikes, vans, campers, and trailers or caravans up to 3.5 tonnes all need their own vignette. Towing a trailer means two vignettes — one for the car, one for the trailer — since each plate is registered separately.

What if I get stopped without a valid vignette?

Checks happen at border crossings, motorway junctions, and via automatic plate-recognition cameras. Getting caught without cover means an immediate CHF 200 fine, and you'll still be required to purchase the vignette on the spot.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

Refunds are possible only before the vignette has been activated in the toll system, or if an order failed due to a technical fault on our side — once active, a vignette cannot be cancelled or refunded, in line with Swiss toll regulations. If you want to cancel an order that hasn't started yet, contact us as soon as possible; approved refunds are returned to your original payment method within 14 days.

Can I move a vignette to a different car?

No — a vignette is tied permanently to the plate number you registered it under. If you swap vehicles or get new plates, you'll need to buy a fresh vignette for the new registration.
