Last time I drove through Switzerland (on the way to the Monaco game last season) I got pulled at the border and made to buy a year's worth of car tax there and then. They don't miss much in Switzerland, mate.

Cheers for heads up as well, I drove into Basel when England played Switzerland a few years ago (6 City players for England IIRC) and had no issues, will double check with Hertz again
Just read up you should have a Swiss motorway vignette for £30 if you want to use the motorways.....might stick to the back streets!

That's what it was, but I guess as Basel isn't far across the border you could improvise.Cheers for heads up as well, I drove into Basel when England played Switzerland a few years ago (6 City players for England IIRC) and had no issues, will double check with Hertz again

You could just park up in the German town that is conjoined with Basel and then get a train/tram from there?Cheers for heads up as well, I drove into Basel when England played Switzerland a few years ago (6 City players for England IIRC) and had no issues, will double check with Hertz again

If you're staying at a hotel in Basel, you usually get a free "local transport" ticket, which is valid on buses and trams.

So, what's the expectation on selling-out level for this? It probably doesn't really
I think it'll sell out around 17-18k points for this one, maybe more, so you'll struggle for one in the city end. The group game trips weren't very appealing to a lot of fans, people have plenty of time to plan this, and its easily accessible by various routes. I'm expecting this to sell out high.

You are obligated to pay the freeway pass/vignette which is akin to a toll pass, everyone (Including Suisse) must pay for this - they are 40 CHF. By comparison, drive in France on any toll road and expect to pay more than that fee in less than a single day. Swiss driving laws are strictly enforced for a variety of offenses, including fixed radar - safety first

If you enter by car, vignette is obligatory if you use the motorways

Exactly, so if I enter with the car and not use the motorway I won't need a viginette.If you enter by car, vignette is obligatory if you use the motorways
