−
'''No, Liechtenstein has completely toll-free roads.''' All national roads, regional routes, and local streets in Liechtenstein can be used without any toll charges, vignettes, or electronic payment systems.
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you don't need any tolls, vignettes, or special road charges to drive in Liechtenstein.

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> While Liechtenstein itself has no tolls, you WILL need vignettes when traveling to neighboring Switzerland (CHF 40 annually) or Austria (€9.60 for 10 days) if using their motorway networks.</p>
−
* '''To/from Switzerland:''' Swiss vignette (CHF 40) required for motorway use
 
−

However, heavy vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are subject to Swiss LSVA charges when transiting through Switzerland.</p>

=== Are there any tolls planned for Liechtenstein? ===
+
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 20px 0 10px 0;">Cost Considerations</h3>
−
No tolls are planned. Given the country's small size (160 km²) and limited road network, toll infrastructure would be impractical and unnecessary.
+
<ul style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 5px 0; padding-left: 30px;">
 +
<li>Liechtenstein driving: €0 road charges</li>
 +
<li>Budget CHF 40 for Swiss motorway access</li>
 +
<li>Budget €9.60 minimum for Austrian motorway access</li>
 +
<li>Consider fuel costs (Switzerland/Austria typically higher than Germany)</li>

=== Do I need any special permits to drive in Liechtenstein? ===

Do I Need Tolls for Liechtenstein? 2025 Update

No, you don't need any tolls, vignettes, or special road charges to drive in Liechtenstein. The entire road network of this Alpine principality is completely toll-free for all vehicles.

Key Reality: While Liechtenstein itself has no tolls, you WILL need vignettes when traveling to neighboring Switzerland (CHF 40 annually) or Austria (€9.60 for 10 days) if using their motorway networks.

2025 Update: Liechtenstein remains one of the few European countries with completely toll-free roads. However, heavy vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are subject to Swiss LSVA charges when transiting through Switzerland.

Liechtenstein maintains a compact but efficient road network with no toll charges for any vehicle type.

Road Usage Costs by Vehicle Type (2025)

  • Required for all motorways and expressways (A-roads with green signs)
  • Valid from December 1, 2024 to January 31, 2026 (14 months)
  • Available as sticker or e-vignette (linked to license plate)

2. Austria Vignette (Multiple durations):

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Border Crossing Errors:

  • Entering Swiss motorways without CHF 40 vignette (CHF 200 fine + vignette cost)
  • Driving on Austrian motorways without valid vignette (€120+ fine)
  • Assuming Liechtenstein vignettes exist (they don't - roads are free)

Heavy Vehicle Oversights:

  • Not registering for Swiss LSVA system (trucks >3.5t)
  • Forgetting Austrian GO-Box for heavy vehicles
  • Incorrect vehicle classification at borders
