All guides- GuideBuying a car in Switzerland: step by stepBuy the car, arrange liability insurance, then register it with the road traffic office of the canton you live in. A used car with a valid inspection can get its plates at the counter on the day you register it. Importing a car takes longer.Read
- GuideCar insurance in Switzerland: what you need and what it costsEvery car on Swiss roads needs third-party liability insurance with at least CHF 5 million of cover per accident.
