Swiss Motorway Fees Forums

Can anyone clarify what is a road "like a Motorway"....and how do you know if you're going to be driving on one? eg are they our "A" roads or just Dual Carriageways. THere's a chance I may be drivibng in Switzerland next year but NOT on Motorways. Is the expression defined anywhere?
Thanks

Gerhard,

Thanks for the information.

I ran the page through "Babel Fish" and this was the result.

Trailer
For the delivery underlying trailers (total weight of over 3,5 t), which are pulled to lump sums on the trailer weight of the towing vehicle by motor vehicles, which are not subject to a delivery and/or the overall delivery collection, the delivery raised in form.

Computation of the delivery
Form design fundamentals the total weight and/or the trailer weight of the towing vehicle in accordance with vehicle document of identification and the delivery period.

Delivery periods
The overall delivery can be paid for until 30 sequential days, for 10 freely selectable days within a yearly, for months sequential to eleven or for one year. The delivery is paid with the entry into Switzerland with the customs house. With the payment proof for 10 single days cancellation by the Chauffeur before the entry and each further residence day ago of the vehicle in Switzerland.

I'm wondering what "Society Car and Gelenkbusse" are Question

Hi Don I also ran that site through Babel-Fish, it says a lot about private vehicles under 3.5 tons but nothing about motor homes so I emailed them and got the following reply:

Dear Sir
For Motorhomes with a total weight over 3.5 tonnes, the following rates will
be used:
* 1 day1 CHF 3.25
CHF 3.25 per additional day2
* 10 isolated days CHF 32.50
* 1 month CHF 58.50
* 1 year CHF 650.--

1 At least CHF 25.-
2 Maximum = monthly fee

The fee may be paid for following periods:
* from 1 to 30 days

* 10 days within a year

* from 1 to 11 months

* 1 year

No vignette and no Go-box in Switzerland necessary.

I take it when it comes to the daily rate there is a minimum charge of CH25 up to a max of the monthly fee. So if you are staying in Switzerland up to 10 days the daily rate works out cheaper otherwise go for the monthly fee.

Pete,

Good thinking with the E mail.

At least it has confirmed the cost is, it's not changed in years.

I still find it hard to believe you have to tick the permit for days on site.

I know the truckers have to but they are on a different system.

Don
