The 24/7 instant activation was a lifesaver! The process was incredibly simple, and I received the confirmation instantly. Highly recommend for convenience!"

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Swiss electronic vignette (e-vignette)?

The Swiss electronic vignette, or e-vignette, is the digital successor to the traditional adhesive toll sticker that has been required for decades. It serves as proof that you have paid the necessary annual fee to use Switzerland's motorways and national roads. Unlike the sticker which was affixed to your windshield, the e-vignette is linked electronically to your vehicle's license plate number, making it easier to purchase and manage, especially for vehicles with temporary plates or rental cars.

Is the e-vignette mandatory for all vehicles?

Yes, the vignette (either physical or electronic) is mandatory for all motor vehicles and trailers with a total weight of up to 3.5 tons that wish to use the first and second-class national roads (motorways and expressways) in Switzerland. Vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons are subject to a different heavy vehicle charge. Failure to display a valid physical vignette or possess a valid electronic registration when required can result in significant fines from Swiss authorities.

How quickly is the e-vignette activated after purchase?

One of the primary advantages of the electronic vignette is its instant activation. Through our fully automated online system, your e-vignette is officially registered with the Swiss Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (FOCBS) immediately upon successful processing of your payment. This means you can purchase your vignette online even right before entering Switzerland and be confident that it is valid the moment your transaction is complete.

Can I buy an e-vignette for a rental car?

Absolutely. Our service is particularly convenient for those using rental cars. You can purchase an e-vignette specifically for your rental vehicle using its provided license plate number. However, we strongly recommend confirming with the rental agency whether the vehicle is already equipped with a valid vignette before making a purchase. If it is not, purchasing through DriveCH Vignettes is a quick and reliable way to ensure compliance for the duration of your rental period in Switzerland.

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept a wide range of popular and secure online payment methods to make the purchase process as convenient as possible. These typically include major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and potentially local Swiss payment options like Twint, depending on availability and integration. All transactions are processed through secure, encrypted gateways to protect your financial information.

What happens if I enter incorrect license plate details?

It is critically important to double-check the license plate number and country of registration you enter during the purchase process. The e-vignette is legally linked to this specific license plate in the FOCBS system. Once the registration is complete and confirmed, errors in the license plate cannot be corrected, and the vignette will be invalid for the intended vehicle. You would need to purchase a new vignette with the correct details. Please verify your input carefully before finalizing your order.

Is my personal data secure?

Protecting your privacy and data security is a top priority for DriveCH Vignettes. We comply with applicable data protection regulations, including GDPR. All data submitted through our website, especially payment and vehicle information, is transmitted using secure, encrypted connections. We only collect the information necessary for processing your vignette application and do not share your data with unauthorized third parties. You can find more details in our Privacy Policy.

Can I purchase the e-vignette for a vehicle registered outside Switzerland?

Yes, absolutely. Our service is designed for both Swiss-registered and foreign-registered vehicles alike. Tourists and business travelers from any country planning to use Swiss motorways can purchase the e-vignette online using their vehicle's foreign license plate number. The process and validity are the same regardless of the vehicle's country of registration, as long as it meets the weight requirements (up to 3.5 tons).
