Switzerland sells exactly one vignette: CHF 40, valid for 14 months from December 1 of the previous year to January 31 of the following one. There are no short-term options, so a single motorway trip costs the full CHF 40. You can choose the e-vignette linked to your number plate or the sticker on the windscreen; both cost the same. Only at Basel St. Louis, Rheinfelden and Kreuzlingen may you use the motorway without one, and only as far as the first exit.to The Federal Office for Customs and Border Security says the vignette costs CHF 40 and is valid for 14 months, from 1 December of the year before the year shown on it through to 31 January of the year after. Unlike other European countries, Switzerland does not have a short-stay vignette, so a visitor coming only once a year must still buy the annual vignette. You can choose the adhesive sticker or the e-vignette; both have the same price. At the Basel/St Louis, Rheinfelden and Kreuzlingen motorway customs offices no vignette is needed, provided you leave the motorway at the first exit.
