Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)β
More information about vignettes and toll passes in Europe
Can I use one e-vignette for multiple vehicles?
No, each e-vignette is linked to a specific license plate and can only be used for vehicles bearing that registration number. However, if you have Swiss interchangeable plates (where one plate can be used on multiple vehicles), a single e-vignette covers all vehicles using that plate.
Do motorcycles need a separate vignette?
Yes, motorcycles traveling on Swiss motorways must have their own vignette. The price is the same as for cars.
Do I need a vignette for my trailer or caravan?
Yes, trailers and caravans require their own separate e-vignette, even when towed by a vehicle that already has one.
What if I change my vehicle during the year?
If you keep the same license plate (possible in Switzerland with interchangeable plates), your e-vignette automatically transfers to your new vehicle. If you receive new plates with a new vehicle, you’ll need to purchase a new vignette.
How do I prove I have a valid e-vignette?
You don’t need to display any physical proof. Your license plate registration in the Swiss database serves as verification. Keep your email confirmation accessible for reference.
Is the e-vignette valid immediately after purchase?
The e-vignette becomes valid immediately after you receive an email from us with details of your registration.
Can international visitors purchase an e-vignette?
Absolutely. The e-vignette is available for vehicles registered in any country. Simply enter your country of registration and license plate number during the purchase process.β
Are there vignettes for shorter periods?
No, Switzerland only offers annual vignettes valid for 14 months. Daily, weekly, and monthly options are not available.
Can I renew my vignette from last year?
No, a new vignette must be purchased each year.
What if I entered the wrong details when ordering the vignette?
Corrections are generally not possible, but please contact us for assistance.
Can I get a refund if I don't need the vignette?
No, the vignette is non-refundable.
