In Switzerland, a vignette is compulsory on national roads (motorways and roads with green signs). This costs CHF 40.00 (valid for the calendar year) and is available at post offices, most petrol stations and garages, TCS offices and road traffic offices. Near the border, the vignettes are also available at motorway petrol stations. You can find more information here.

If you are driving on the A81, the vignette obligation applies from the D/CH border in Thayngen.

 

In principle, payment with euro notes is possible in Schaffhauserland.
