Liechtenstein has no motorways, so it has no vignette of its own and charges nothing to drive on its roads. What it has is 420 km of asphalted road and 425 km of unpaved road, and one general speed limit: 50 km/h in built up areas and 80 km/h everywhere else, set by the Verkehrsregelnverordnung, the road rules ordinance. Heavy vehicles, trailer combinations and articulated vehicles are capped at 80 too, so nothing on the network goes faster than that.
Speed limits, as the <em>Verkehrsregelnverordnung</em> sets them
| Where or what | Limit |
|---|---|
| In a built up area | 50 km/h |
| Outside a built up area | 80 km/h |
| Heavy motor vehicles other than heavy cars | 80 km/h |
| A trailer combination or an articulated vehicle | 80 km/h |
| Towing a broken down vehicle | 40 km/h |
The vignette you need to get here, not to be here
| Approach | What is charged | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Switzerland, A13 to Balzers, Vaduz, Schaan, Bendern or Ruggell | Swiss national road charge, sticker or e-vignette on the plate | CHF 40 a calendar year, valid 1 December to 31 January |
| Austria, A14 near Feldkirch | Austrian vignette, up to 3.5 t, digital or sticker | EUR 12.80 for ten days, 32.00 for two months, 106.80 a year in 2026 |
| Over 3.5 t, from Switzerland | Swiss heavy vehicle charge instead of the vignette, paid online before entry | 0.5 percent of the annual rate per day, minimum CHF 25 |
| Over 3.5 t, from Austria | GO-Box and distance based tolls | Not a vignette. Fit the box before you travel |
| Inside Liechtenstein | Nothing. There is no motorway to charge for | free |
The heavy vehicle charge, if your van is over 3.5 tonnes
- The Swiss national road act exempts vehicles subject to the heavy vehicle charge from the 40 franc vignette, so you do not buy one. You pay the other thing.
- The Swiss customs office states that heavy motorhomes registered outside Switzerland or Liechtenstein pay the flat rate charge, online through its Via portal, before entry.
Parking and getting about
- CHF 1.50 an hour in Vaduz and Schaan, with the first hour free. Schaan charges Monday to Friday 07:00 to 17:00 only, and nothing at weekends or on holidays.
- CHF 0.50 an hour at the Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz, with no time limit, which is the sensible place to leave a long vehicle and walk in.
Fuel here is Swiss fuel at Swiss duty, because Liechtenstein is inside the Swiss customs territory. Diesel was CHF 2.33 a litre and petrol CHF 2.03 on 14 September 2026. That is a reported national figure for Switzerland rather than a Liechtenstein pump price, and a third higher than diesel cost a year earlier.
