So what is going to happen with all the winter car reservations, including mine for 2017, where the car is booked in CH and driven to a French ski-resort? I've never had to declare where I will go because the list of included/allowed countries is very extensive. Is this a new thing and can I expect some problems in 2017 for a booking already made? Indeed, how will they know if you declare you shall be 'touring' in & out of CH? Are they going to introduce date stamps at the borders? The delays would be humungous.
I have been irritated when renting in other EU countries and having to pay a charge to cross a border to another EU country. e.g. Romania - Bulgaria. Spain - Portugal, Italy - Austria. Is that restriction allowed or is it a stealth tax under a disguise?
