Hi All,

I am sure that someone here can explain how the Swiss motorway tax works for a tag axel motorhome that is over 3500tonnes.  Also I have heard mention of a "go box" or is this only for another country, I thought that as we were only driving through (all in one day) that a go box may be cheaper.

We will be entering Swiss at Basel on Wednesday 22nd July at noon, I have to buy a vignette, but my friend has the tag axel, should we expect of a delay in getting these?

Many thanks

You have to buy Swiss Vignettes for your category of vehicle - simple. Sadly since the Swiss have joined Schengen this will indeed be from a border 'guard' not the traditional Swiss customs man.
