Toll in Switzerland
All vehicles up to 3,5 t are required to have a valid e-vignette to drive on Swiss motorways. The toll system has been in place for decades and remains in effect in 2026. The e-vignette is linked to your license plate, which allows for electronic checks at motorway entry points. Driving without a valid e-vignette can result in a fine.

All national motorways and expressways in Switzerland require a valid e-vignette. There are no toll-free sections on the motorway network. The e-vignette is compulsory for all vehicles up to 3,5 t, regardless of the distance travelled or the duration of your stay.
Swiss motorways are marked with a red hexagonal A sign showing the route number, for example A1 or A2.
Many routes also carry a green E number, indicating they form part of the trans-European road network connecting Switzerland with Germany, France, Austria and Italy.
Enforcement is carried out through cameras at entry and exit points and random police checks, which verify every license plate against the national vignette system.
The Swiss motorway network covers more than 1,800 kilometres and connects the country from border to border. The main routes are listed below.

The e-vignette covers the entire motorway and expressway network. For a small number of alpine tunnels, a separate toll applies. These costs are not included in the e-vignette and must be paid at the tunnel.
Great St. Bernard Tunnel: this tunnel connects the Swiss canton of Valais with the Aosta Valley in Italy. A separate toll is charged at the booth. Both single and return tickets are available.
Munt la Schera Tunnel: this single-lane tunnel in the canton of Graubünden connects Switzerland with the duty-free area of Livigno in Italy. The toll is paid at the entrance by cash or card. Seasonal passes and multi-trip tickets are also available.
The Gotthard Road Tunnel does not require a separate toll. Access is fully covered by the e-vignette.
At 16.9 km, it is the longest road tunnel in Switzerland and a key north-south connection through the Alps, linking Göschenen in the canton of Uri with Airolo in the canton of Ticino as part of the A2 motorway. Traffic volumes are often high during holiday periods, at the start and end of ski seasons, and on summer Saturdays. Queues of several kilometres and waiting times of one to two hours are common during peak periods.
In Switzerland, all vehicles up to 3,5 t require the same e-vignette. There is one price category, with no separate classes based on axle height or emission standards.
Passenger car
Passenger cars with a maximum permissible weight of up to 3.5 t require a Swiss vignette. This applies to standard private vehicles using Swiss motorways and national roads.
Goods vehicle / Motorhome
This category applies to goods vehicles and motorhomes with a maximum permissible weight of up to 3.5 t. It covers vans, light commercial vehicles and camper vehicles using the Swiss motorway network.
Motorcycle
Motorcycles require their own Swiss vignette. This applies to all registered two-wheeled motor vehicles using the motorway network.
Trailer / Caravan
Trailers and caravans must have a separate Swiss vignette. When towing a trailer, both the towing vehicle and the trailer require their own valid vignette.
Switzerland offers only one validity option: the annual e-vignette. There are no short-term alternatives such as 10-day or monthly options. All vehicles up to 3,5 t, including cars, vans, motorcycles and trailers, are required to purchase the annual e-vignette, even when passing through Switzerland for a single day.
Valid from 1 December 2025 until 31 January 2027.
The Swiss e-vignette has a single fixed price that applies to all vehicles up to 3,5 t, including cars, vans, motorcycles and trailers. There are no separate categories or reduced tariffs.

Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight over 3,5 t are not subject to the e-vignette obligation. Instead, Switzerland applies a separate heavy vehicle charge system with two models: LSVA and PSVA.
The LSVA (performance-related heavy vehicle charge) applies to lorries and heavy commercial vehicles over 3,5 t. The charge is based on the distance driven in Switzerland, the vehicle's gross weight and its emission class. Cleaner vehicles pay less per kilometre than older, more polluting models. The LSVA applies to the entire road network, including regional and local roads.
The PSVA (lump-sum heavy vehicle charge) applies to heavy vehicles over 3,5 t that are not primarily used for goods transport. This includes large motorhomes, buses, coaches and special-purpose vehicles. Rather than a per-kilometre charge, these vehicles pay a fixed amount based on vehicle type, weight and period of use. The PSVA can be purchased for a single day, a month or a full year.
Yes. In Switzerland, trailers and caravans up to 3,5 t require their own e-vignette, in addition to the e-vignette for the towing vehicle. Both are linked electronically to their respective license plates. Driving without a valid e-vignette for both vehicles can result in a fine at border controls or roadside checks.
Yes. Motorcycles and trikes are subject to the e-vignette requirement in Switzerland. Like cars and vans up to 3,5 t, they must have a valid e-vignette when using motorways and expressways. The e-vignette is registered to the license plate, so no sticker is required. Driving without one can result in a fine.
No. Switzerland offers only the annual e-vignette, valid for 14 months from 1 December of the previous year until 31 January of the following year. There are no 10-day or monthly options. Even when passing through Switzerland for a single day, the annual e-vignette is required.
You can buy the Swiss e-vignette online at Tollvignettes.eu. Your license plate is registered directly and you receive a confirmation by email. No sticker is required. The vignette is also available at petrol stations, post offices and border customs points in Switzerland, where the traditional sticker version is usually sold.
The Swiss e-vignette is valid for 14 months, from 1 December 2025 until 31 January 2027. This means a single purchase covers both the winter and summer travel seasons.
Driving on Swiss motorways or expressways without a valid e-vignette is a traffic offence. If your license plate is not registered in the system, a fine can be issued on the spot. The standard fine is CHF 200, and a valid e-vignette must still be purchased afterwards. Enforcement is carried out through police patrols, customs officers and automatic cameras.
No. Once the e-vignette is purchased, the license plate information cannot be changed and no refund is offered. If an incorrect license plate was entered, the e-vignette is invalid and a new one must be purchased. Always check your license plate and country code carefully before completing payment.
When travelling beyond Switzerland, many European countries require their own e-vignette. Each country has its own system and validity rules. Make sure you have the correct e-vignette before you travel.
