Swiss Vignette Guides
Everything UK drivers need to know about the Swiss motorway vignette, in plain English.
Switzerland requires almost every car, motorhome and motorcycle using its motorways and national roads to carry a valid vignette. Since 2023 that can be a digital e-vignette linked to your number plate instead of a windscreen sticker. For UK drivers the tricky parts are knowing whether you need one at all, what it costs, how long it lasts, and what happens if you cross the border without it.
These guides answer those questions in plain English. Start with what the vignette is and who needs one, compare the e-vignette against the traditional sticker, check the fine for driving without one, and read the specific rules for motorhomes, campervans and trailers. Every guide is written for UK-registered vehicles and kept up to date with the current year's pricing and validity dates.
