Driving your own car
as an expat

Not counting the fuel, everything is already included in the Carvolution-Service. Insurance (third party liability, collision, partial casco), license plates registered in your canton of residence, taxes, initial highway vignette, tyres, tyre change and tyre storage, maintenance and service - everything is included.

If the car is available immediately, it usually takes us 10 working days after receipt of payment before we can deliver it to you. During these 10 days, we will take care of the paperwork for you (licence plates, vehicle registration, etc.). If there is an explicit date in the availability section, your car will be available within 10 working days from that date.

Of course. It is your car and you can choose who you allow at the wheel. The only rule you have to be careful about is that the driver has to be allowed to drive in Switzerland. In other words: the driver has to have a driver's license which is valid in Switzerland.

You can drive your new car in Switzerland for one year with your foreign driving licence. After this period, certain nationalities must obtain a Swiss driving licence.

In order to drive your new car from Carvolution, the following documents are required: passport, residence permit, driving licence and work contract/employment certificate.

The vehicle will mainly be used in Switzerland. You may also drive the vehicle abroad, but only yourself or through authorised users resident in Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein. The insurance cover applies in Europe and the countries bordering on the Mediterranean, excluding Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.

You are entitled to terminate the contract prematurely and without notice if you move your residence abroad.
