Travel Swiss Motorways with Confidence
Step-by-step guide to motorway vignettes, purchase options, and compliance made easy.
Your Trusted Guide for Swiss Motorway Access
Swiss Vignette Guide emerged from a simple realization: travelers in Switzerland needed clarity, speed, and genuine support when it came to navigating the country's motorway vignette system. Founded by a small group of international motorists and Swiss locals who experienced firsthand the confusion at border crossings and petrol stations, our mission is to make every journey in Switzerland seamless and stress-free.
Since our launch in Lausanne in 2021, we have helped thousands of drivers—residents, expats, students, and tourists alike—find the correct vignette, understand compliance requirements, and access official updates. Our platform has rapidly grown into the leading English-language resource for Swiss motorway access.
We believe in transparent information: all our guides are written and reviewed by experts in Swiss transport law and are updated quarterly to ensure absolute accuracy. Technologies at Swiss Vignette Guide are designed to be user-friendly for all ages and backgrounds. Newcomers, frequent travelers, and commercial operators all find tailored tools for their needs.
Our core values are accessibility, clarity, and trust. Whether you're purchasing your very first vignette or managing an entire company fleet, our customer support remains only a message or call away. We value multilingual support and understand the stress travelers feel when rules change or emergencies arise.
We are meticulous in ensuring your journey is never delayed due to lack of information. Our store locator finds both traditional points of sale and the most convenient digital purchase channels. We take pride in being the only resource that provides compliance alerts for regulatory changes and offers a proactive expiration reminder.
In 2024, we introduced full digital vignette integration, keeping pace with European trends and Swiss innovation. With secure purchasing, intuitive onboarding, and live support chat, our users regularly rate us as a stress-saving companion for their Swiss road trips.
Partnering closely with local authorities, we serve as a bridge between motorists and compliance. It is our ambition to remain the gold standard for motorway vignette information and support—even as road networks, laws, and technologies evolve.
Swiss Vignette Guide is committed to ethical transparency and data protection, ensuring your privacy and peace of mind with every interaction. Thank you for trusting us as your official guide—may your journey across Switzerland be smooth, scenic, and entirely compliant!
