Gents and ladies, I may be moving over to Switzerland for 3 to 6 months and my road tax is due soon. Could I possibly declare a sorn when my road tax runs out as I will be in Swiss? What is the insurance implications of driving in Switzerland? Am I still still insured whilst in Switzerland or do I need a separate insurance cover?
How do you plan to get the car back to the UK? Will you tax it before you come back? You will also require a vignette to take your car onto motorways in Switzerland. (Swiss road tax) You will also have to tell your insurance company and will require a green card for which they may charge.
Pink Kittens - I was stopped in Spain about 4 weeks ago and the Spanish police only wanted to see my Green Card. They were not interested in the insurance certificate. I always get a separate green card from my Insurance Company every time I drive abroad which is frequently. (About 16 weeks per year.) This ensures my cover is still fully comprehensive and I have to pay for it.
