Prepare calmly before holiday and weekend traffic.
Repeatable workflows with clean documentation for expenses.
Scalable processes per plate and vehicle class.
What is the e-vignette?
The e-vignette is the digital annual authorization for vignette-required sections of the Swiss national road network. Instead of a windshield sticker, the plate is stored in the system.
It is part of a dual model: the traditional sticker vignette still exists in parallel. For most vehicles with stable plates, digital is now the standard path.
Swiss toll model 2026: what this flow includes
This checkout flow is designed for the 2026 e-vignette for vehicles up to 3.5 t on motorways and expressways. LSVA, PSVA and NMTS are not part of this checkout.
For orientation on toll-relevant routes, use the official FEDRO map: FEDRO map of chargeable roads.
Separate tunnel fees may apply on specific routes (e.g., Munt La Schera or Great St. Bernard). These are not part of the annual vignette.
When is the e-vignette especially useful?
It is ideal for people who want to complete online without stopping at a fuel station. Business users benefit from repeatable order patterns, families reduce departure stress.
It is less ideal when plates change frequently or imported vehicles have no final CH registration yet.
