Terms and Conditions for Our Online Platform

Welcome to our online platform. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our services concerning toll sticker guidance for visitors to southern Switzerland. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our services.

1. Introduction to Our Services

Our platform provides valuable information and guidance regarding the acquisition and use of Swiss toll stickers (vignettes) for travelers intending to use the Swiss highway system, particularly when entering Ticino from Italy. This guidance is designed to help visitors understand the requirements, compliance, and purchasing options for these mandatory tolls. We aim to simplify your travel preparation and ensure a smooth experience.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By utilizing our online platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions, which include our Privacy Policy. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and our service.

3. Understanding the Swiss Vignette Requirement

• Mandatory Requirement: A valid Swiss vignette is required for all vehicles using Swiss national highways, including motorways and expressways, even for brief periods. This applies immediately upon entering the Swiss highway system, regardless of the duration of your stay or the length of road traveled.
• Enforcement: Swiss border patrols and sophisticated road camera systems are in place to ensure compliance with the vignette requirement. Non-compliance can result in significant fines in addition to the cost of purchasing a vignette.
• Purchase Locations: Vignettes can be purchased through several channels for your convenience:
  • Online, through official or authorized retailers.
  • At Swiss border kiosks upon entry to Switzerland.
  • At many petrol stations in Italy located near the Swiss border.
• Proper Display: The physical vignette must be attached firmly and visibly to the inside of your vehicle's windshield glass. It must not be placed on the dashboard, held by hand, or affixed in any way that obscures its authenticity or display. Failure to properly display the vignette renders it invalid.

4. Accuracy of Information

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information regarding Swiss toll sticker regulations, laws and official policies can change. The information provided on our platform is for general guidance and informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal or professional advice. We recommend verifying current regulations with official Swiss authorities or border control points before your travel. We are not responsible for any inaccuracies or omissions in the information provided, or for any actions taken based on such information.
