Switzerland

For many British people, Switzerland is a favoured destination for both winter sports and summer holidays. As the country is relatively close, many Brits drive their cars to get there.

Anyone driving on the motorways in Switzerland is obliged to carry a toll vignette. Tolls are also required for tunnels (the Munt-la-Scheratunnel and the Great Saint Bernard Tunnel). You can read all about tolls in Switzerland in more detail here. If you want to buy vignette Switzerland, you have come to the right place.

If you are travelling to Switzerland by car—on holiday, for example—you should remember to carry a warning triangle. It is, in fact, mandatory to carry such a triangle. Moreover, you should keep it within reach!

Whether you are travelling to Switzerland in a petrol, diesel or electric car, you will occasionally have to stop to refuel. How this works in this beautiful mountainous country is listed for each type of fuel. Among other things, you can read about which types of petrol are sold in Switzerland and how you can pay for them.

When driving in Switzerland, you must comply with Swiss traffic regulations. They largely correspond to the ones in the UK, but there are some differences. Just think of the fact that Switzerland is a mountainous country. We have collected all the information you need to know about Swiss traffic regulations on one page.

While driving in Switzerland, you may end up committing a traffic offence. You could also park in the wrong place. If you do commit an offence, there is a chance that you will encounter the police and/or traffic fines. There is much to say about what you should and should not do, how payment works, and the costs of fines. We have gathered all of that information for you on this page.
