Taxes, fees and other costs
Cars and motorhomes can be an expensive commitment. When buying a vehicle, it’s very important to consider recurring costs like motor vehicle tax and fuel expenses.
Annual costs
The annual costs of a vehicle are by no means limited to the purchase price and can quickly add up to several thousand francs. Learn more about car costs here.
Fuel prices
Apart from crude oil prices, other factors influence the price of petrol and diesel. Comparis gives you an overview.
Motorway vignette sticker
If you want to drive on motorways, you’ll need a motorway vignette sticker. Keep an eye out for special offers – you can save quite a few francs.
Motor vehicle tax
You are required to pay an annual motor vehicle tax to your canton of residence for every registered vehicle.
Traffic rules and fines
What traffic rules are currently in force and how much will a fine cost? These articles address some of the legal questions motorists need to consider.
Fines
Speeding is dangerous and expensive. Comparis explains what fines apply, what constitutes a serious speeding offence, and whether you’re allowed to alert other road users to speed cameras.
Hit and run
In the event of an accident, all the parties involved must stop immediately. Fleeing the scene of the accident is a hit and run offence.
Alcohol
Drink-driving is severely punished in Switzerland. Since 2014, new drivers may not drink at all if they are driving.
Listening to music
Do you like listening to loud music when driving? If so, you may be found partially at fault if you are involved in an accident.
