In Switzerland, the vignette system is very straightforward compared to some neighbouring countries. There is only one price category: all vehicles up to 3,500 kg require the same vignette. Unlike in countries such as Slovenia or Austria, there are no separate classes based on axle height or emission standards.
In Switzerland, motorway tolls are collected with an e-vignette linked to your license plate.

Toll roads in Switzerland
Driving in Switzerland means you need a vignette, always. All national motorways and expressways are toll roads and there are no exceptions or toll-free motorway sections. The vignette is compulsory whether you are just crossing the border for a short trip or driving across the country.
How to recognise Swiss motorways
Motorways are marked with a red hexagonal A sign showing the route number (for example A1 or A2).
Many roads also carry a green E number because they are part of the trans-European road network, linking Switzerland with neighbouring countries like Germany, France, Austria and Italy.
Toll enforcement is strict: cameras at entry and exit points, as well as random police checks, verify every plate against the national vignette system.
