For ALL countries’ motorway vignette / sticker things

[Rusty]

Thank you for posting all of those comments up. We bought ours at a petrol station thinking "just in case" or "I've heard the fines are massive", but as usual we were a little peeved that it was £40 spent and no one seemed to care a hoot. As usual the European roads for the entire trip were trouble free and the only people who wanted to see paperwork of any kind were at Blighty borders.

I know it seems as if they don't care but I know of people who have been stopped in Switzerland (and my son lives there now and says it is not uncommon), after which the £40 seems like a bargain... Regardless, it's god's own country and there should be an admission charge for everyone

The cost of the vignette is about the same as one 25 litre tank of Swiss petrol or, viewed another way, less than the cost of filling up a GSA’s uber-tank.

Either you’ll be caught with a fine (chances maybe not high, who knows) or you won’t. The choice (and whether to moan) is yours and yours alone.

having had all the France heading traffic stopped so that a friend and I could be safely ejected from the border crossing at Basel,(who knew they had a special removeable bit of Armco just for the purpose?) I tend to buy the vignette (he was mouthy in his determination not to buy one and failed the attitude test,I believe at the time due to roadworks there was no through route without going on a toll road from the border crossing ) we took a more rural route and entered via a country road, and the next morning I wandered into the local post office (along with mate who had realised the error of his ways ) I have subsequently gone through Switzerland without using the toll roads, but it truly is a study in frustration, as you get to see all the industrial areas and housing estates along with their 50kph limits, so I buy the vignette and add it to my collection, the car is not so bad as I go 3-4 times a year, the bike is a pain as I have to buy two a year , but well worth it for the roads and scenary

Just buy one at the first petrol station you come to in Austria. There are 2 versions, a paper one and an electronic version.

This.^ We’ve been to Austria a few times now, and as soon as you get within an hour or so of the border, the services and garages stock vignettes. You only need to pay for the duration of your stay, and the stick on version gets clipped to show it’s from and to dates. We usually buy a ten day. Only required in Switzerland if you use the motorways, and they are yearly, and more expensive.

You only need them for motorways in both Austria and Switzerland
Normal roads don’t require them and usually stick to minor roads = more fun on a bike

Just remember to buy online from official government site. Lots of others charging double.

You only need one for Switzerland or Austria if you are planing to ride in their motorway networks.

Last year, we all purchased ours (for a day from memory) online, they link your vehicle registration plate to their anpr type system.

Depending on your itinerary, you really might want to spend the 30 or 40 quid for the vignette in Switzerland as riding within the valleys in some places might take some sweet time that is probably better spent climbing up the passes. For relatively quick transfers, in some parts, jumping on and off the motorway is a godsend.

Personally I’d rather do that (and always did over many years) than get stuck at 50kmh between cantons on some fairly uninteresting straight connecting road.

I used the digital vignette for the first time this year, after many years of the sticky one, because no service stations would have one and we had to clear one bit of motorway.

Fairly quick process (done on the side of the road). Just be sure you do it on the actual official site.

Assuming this is for the trip to Croatia, then you will also need a vignette if your route uses a motorway in Slovenia. Again, like the Austrian one, they do short term ones. Also make sure you use the official website if buying online. https://evinjeta.dars.si/en 8 euros for a week

Although, as Slovenia is a smal country with some fantastic scenery, I highly recommend riding over the Vrsic pass from Kranjska Gora to Bovec and then down through the Soca valley to Postonja before hopping over the border into Croatia.

Yes just buy one at a petrol station when coming near the boarder , I have used Toll ticket .com in the past but when you factor in there booking fee & postage it turns out “ very expensive.”
Just remember you only need one if your travelling on the motorways & if you have a BMW sat nav then it gives you options to be reminded when getting near a toll ticket country or allowing toll tickets or re route round a toll ticket route.

I did it online - easy and add it to your phone wallet. There is an option for the wallet download.
