Travel scenarios

Do I need a vignette entering by a car ferry?

A car ferry itself does not require a vignette. What matters is the road you drive on after disembarking.

 

If you leave the ferry and drive only on non-motorway roads (e.g. local or cantonal roads) a vignette is not required. As soon as you enter a motor or express way a valid vignette is required. Driving even 1km or 1 minute without a valid vignette there can result in a heavy fine.
