TAX / VAT and fees

VAT (value added tax) is a tax applied to all goods and services in Switzerland.

The LAF motor vehicle tax fee applies to the applied cost of operating a vehicle on Swiss roads, including vehicle insurance and the Swiss freeway vignette.

All goods and services purchased on the airport premises are subject to a 20% airport tax. If additional items are added to your rental, including insurance, the airport fee will also be applied to them.
