Tolls, emissions zones and charges A motorway toll pass is required for Swiss roads. Zurich itself doesn’t have toll booths, but motorways require a vignette — a prepaid toll sticker. It’s usually included with hire cars, but always check before setting off. |
Parking your car in Zurich Parking is expensive and time-limited. Street parking in Zurich is paid and often restricted to short stays. Blue zones allow limited free parking with a disc. Use public car parks or hotel parking for longer visits. |
Finding fuel or charging points Fuel is easy to find — EV charging is reliable. Petrol stations are common, though less frequent in the city centre. EV charging stations in Zurich are well distributed — use Swisscharge, Electromaps or PlugShare to find a nearby option. |
