Field notes for Swiss roads

Planning a motorway trip through Switzerland often raises the same questions: where a digital vignette applies, how enforcement works, and what to do near city borders like Zurich or Geneva.

This background piece doesn’t sell — it simply prepares you to travel smarter.

FAQ: Swiss e‑vignette

Do I need a Swiss e‑vignette to use the motorway?

Yes. Most Swiss motorways require a valid e‑vignette. Certain city segments and mountain roads may be exempt.

Where should I buy the e‑vignette online?

Use official portals or authorized vendors. We compare options on our Guides page.

Is the vignette linked to my number plate?

Digital vignettes bind to the vehicle’s plate. Keep the confirmation for roadside checks.

What if I drive from Zurich to Geneva for one weekend?

Short trips still need validity. Our Advisor suggests the best option for weekend travel.

Are foreign vehicles treated differently?

Rules apply equally. Some tunnels or passes may have separate fees unrelated to the vignette.
