Navigate Switzerland with Confidence

Most rental cars procured within Switzerland come equipped with a pre-purchased, valid vignette. However, if your rental vehicle originates from a neighboring country (like France, Germany, or Italy) and you intend to drive it on Swiss motorways, it is your responsibility to acquire a vignette. Always confirm the vignette status with your rental agency before commencing your journey to avoid any surprises.

No, the Swiss vignette exclusively grants access to the country's national motorway network. It does not cover specific special toll tunnels or mountain passes. Notable examples requiring separate payment include the Great St. Bernard Tunnel, connecting Switzerland to Italy, and the Munt la Schera Tunnel, used for accessing regions of Graubünden. It's important to research your specific route for these additional tolls.

No, ViaOnline Swiss Mobility Hub operates strictly as an independent information service. We do not sell or issue Swiss vignettes. The official and legitimate points of purchase for the vignette include Swiss border crossings, post offices across the country, customs points, and importantly, the official online portal provided by the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (FOCBS) for the e-vignette.

For those with a physical sticker vignette, its removal from the windscreen (e.g., due to replacement for damage) invalidates it. In such cases, you are legally required to purchase a new vignette. This inconvenience is precisely why the e-vignette was introduced; because it's linked to your license plate and not the physical vehicle, it remains valid even if your windscreen is replaced, offering greater convenience and savings.
