The autoroute vignette, which is necessary for those who travel on any portion of the Swiss autoroute (highway/motorway), will be available at gas/petrol stations, shops, supermarkets, tabacs/kiosks, border crossings, post offices, and other locations as of 1 December 2025. The price is once again Fr. 40.- for the calendar year, and you have until 31 January 2026 to display it on your windscreen. The 2025 version is still valid until end of January as well. Once the first of February rolls around, anyone not displaying the 2026 vignette or have their vehicle registered online by the e-vignette will receive a fine of Fr. 200.-.

Drivers must remove expired stickers from the windshield to avoid obstructing visibility. Kits with a scraper are sold separately or with the vignette to help remove the old stickers. The best time to remove them is when the weather is cold so the glue doesn't stay on the windscreen. However, if some glue remains, just cover with the new vignette.
