Vignette for Swiss motorways?

missile

You can buy Motorway Vignette at the border, but ........... you can buy on line.

I found it more convenient to buy on line. Thus avoiding the queues and saving time waiting to buy when crossing in to Switzerland. See here > https://www.swissrailways.com/products/motorwaysticker


PS: vignette costs £29 + £3.50 booking fee on line. I received mine in three days. Very good and efficient service.

Well, it's all on again. We go week after next. D1 is no longer in Germany, so no need to go into Geneva to pick her up. We will come straight down from Dijon and enter CH at Vallorbe, which will save some time. I'll get the vignette there, or thereabouts, and have the freedom of the motorway network for a whole five days.


Great advice on here, many thanks to all.

That way, it would stop people keeping foreign registered cars here to avoid road tax etc.

Which is already illegal.

Just a final update. Apart from some horrendous traffic on the M25 on the way to the tunnel (2.5 hours delayed) and a non-damaging bump from a Brit car in the Calais terminal on our return, D1, D2 and I had a fantastic time. Switzerland was VERY expensive but more beautiful than I remembered.


Getting the vignette was a breeze. We pulled up at the border in Vallorbe. I was asked to park up in a space next to the road, I went into the booth and paid for it cash, and was on my way in 2-3 minutes. The uniformed border official was very keen to see that I stuck it to the windscreen in the right place and very firmly, but apart from that it was a very casual transaction.


Thanks to everyone here for the advice and help. Much appreciated.
