We got asked a very interesting question the other day about toll roads in Switzerland and if our cars came with a Vignette. The answer to this unfortunately is no, Vignettes are however compulsory in Switzerland so it is essentially that you buy one which you can do at any petrol station. Basically the Vignette is a sticker on the front of your car which indicates you have paid for the toll roads which are all 1 and 2 class roads, the Grand St. Bernhard Tunnel and Munt la Schera are not included, essentially the Vignette is road tax. <\/p>\n

**Not having a valid Vignette on your vehicle can result in cash fines of around 200 Franks**<\/strong><\/p>\n

In what vehicles is a Vignette compulsory?
\n–\tThe Vignette is compulsory in all motor vehicles <\/em><\/p>\n

Vignettes are paid for one year periods, I\u2019m hiring a car for a short duration can I buy a short term vignette?
\n–\tUnfortunately no, you can\u2019t. Vignettes are only issued yearly and the laws enforced will not allow you to buy one for a shorter period.<\/em><\/p>\n

Can I keep my Vignette when I leave and use it if I return?
\n–\tThis isn\u2019t allowed, once a Vignette is removed from the windscreen it is invalidated and cannot be fixed to another windscreen. <\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s irritating and a bit of a pain that you have to pay these Vignette\u2019s however it\u2019s law in Switzerland and there is no other way around it. Below you will find a detailed map about which roads require a Vignette and which don\u2019t. <\/p>\n
