To check if a license is valid, look at box 4b; to find out the driver&#039;s actual seniority, look at box 10 on the back, not the date on the front. This 2026 guide explains each box, the restriction codes, and what they mean when driving a luxury car in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The new European driving licence in brief: a common format for 27 countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since September 16, 2013, France has issued a driver&#039;s license in credit card format, secured by a chip and an engraved photograph. It follows the harmonized model established by Directive 2006\/126\/EC: regardless of the issuing EU country, the same numbered boxes correspond to the same information. Therefore, a rental agent in Geneva, a gendarme in Annecy, or a police officer in Munich reads the document in exactly the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three points distinguish this license from the old pink cardboard one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>he has a <strong>administrative validity date<\/strong> (15 years for categories A and B in France), which concerns the document and not your right to drive; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It includes a chip and several anti-fraud features, making it much harder to counterfeit; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All categories and restrictions are codified, for identical reading throughout Europe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old paper permits remain valid, but they must all be replaced by the card format by January 19, 2033 at the latest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to read the front, panel by panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The front page contains the holder&#039;s identity and information about the document itself. Here is the complete table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Case<\/th><th>Content<\/th><th>What you need to check<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Name<\/td><td>Identical to the identity document presented<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>First name(s)<\/td><td>Concordance with the rental agreement<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>Date and place of birth<\/td><td>Minimum age required for the vehicle<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4a<\/td><td>Date of issue of the title<\/td><td>Card issue date, permit not obtained<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4b<\/td><td>Administrative expiry date<\/td><td>Must be after the end of the lease<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4c<\/td><td>Issuing authority<\/td><td>In France, the prefecture or the ANTS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>License number<\/td><td>The number to be included on all contracts<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td>Photo<\/td><td>Resemblance to the driver<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7<\/td><td>Signature<\/td><td>Comparison with the signing of the contract<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8<\/td><td>Address (optional)<\/td><td>Not listed on French driving licences<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>9<\/td><td>Categories held<\/td><td>Presence of category B for a car<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The classic trap of square 4a<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many drivers mistakenly believe the date on the front of their license corresponds to when they first obtained it. This is incorrect as soon as the card has been renewed: loss, theft, change of marital status, or exchange of an old pink license. A driver who obtained their B license in 2004 and renewed it in 2022 will see &quot;2022&quot; in box 4a. For a supercar rental company, which often requires several years of experience, this confusion could lead to an experienced driver being wrongly refused service. The correct information is on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to read the reverse side: categories, dates and codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reverse side is in table format. Each row corresponds to a vehicle category (AM, A1, A2, A, B1, B, C1, C, D1, D, BE, C1E, CE, D1E, DE), and each column bears a number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Column 9: the pictogram and the category name; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Column 10: the date of first obtaining this category, this is what proves the seniority of the license; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Column 11: the expiry date specific to the category (often empty for category B in France, filled in for heavy goods vehicles); ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Column 12: additional information and restrictions, in the form of codes; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Case 13: entries added by another Member State, for example after an exchange; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Box 14: Management information specific to the country of issue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calculate your driving licence seniority in 10 seconds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take the date of the <strong>column 10<\/strong> on line B and subtract it from today&#039;s date. Concrete example: a date of 12.06.2021 in column 10 means, in October 2026, 5 years and 4 months of seniority, even if the card was reissued in 2025. In France, remember that the first 3 years constitute the probationary period (2 years after supervised driving), with an initial allocation of only 6 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Codes from column 12 to know before renting a luxury car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Codes from 01 to 99 are European and recognized in all member states; those above 100 are national. Some useful examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Code<\/th><th>Meaning<\/th><th>Impact on a prestige car<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>01<\/td><td>Vision correction (01.01 glasses, 01.02 contact lenses)<\/td><td>Wearing correction fluid while driving, otherwise it&#039;s an offense<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>70<\/td><td>Permit obtained by exchanging a foreign license<\/td><td>None, but seniority is always shown in column 10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>78<\/td><td>Limited to vehicles with automatic transmission<\/td><td>Compatible with almost all current supercars<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>96<\/td><td>Trailer up to 4.25 t total weight (B96)<\/td><td>Useful for towing a horse trailer or a boat with an SUV<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>code 78<\/strong> It deserves clarification: this is common among drivers trained on automatic transmissions. The good news is that recent Porsche 911s, Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1ns, Mercedes-AMGs, and Alpine A110s use automatic or dual-clutch transmissions without a clutch pedal: they therefore drive perfectly well with this code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Validity of the new European driving licence: 15 years, and a reform is coming soon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be careful not to confuse two concepts. Your right to drive does not disappear unless you have been suspended or revoked. The date in box 4b only concerns the card itself: when it expires, you simply need to apply for a new one in France on the ANTS website, without having to retake the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example calculation: a license issued in March 2014 expires in March 2029. Driving beyond this date with an expired license exposes you to a fine, and a rental company will systematically refuse a document in which box 4b is exceeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What changes under Directive (EU) 2025\/2205<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European Parliament adopted a comprehensive reform on 21 October 2025, published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 5 November 2025 under the name of <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dir\/2025\/2205\/oj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Directive (EU) 2025\/2205<\/a>. Its main measures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>an administrative validity of 15 years maximum for cars and motorcycles, which can be reduced to 10 years in countries where the license serves as an identity document; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a digital license on a smartphone, integrated into the European digital identity wallet, with the physical card remaining available on request; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>supervised driving from the age of 17 is now widespread, with a probationary period of at least two years for new drivers; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>better mutual recognition of driving licence withdrawals between Member States.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">States have until November 26, 2028 to transpose the text and apply it from November 26, 2029. Until then, your current permit does not change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving in Switzerland with a European driving licence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Switzerland is not part of the European Union, but it readily recognizes permits issued by its neighbors. Three situations arise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you are just passing through (tourism, business, trade fair): your valid European driving licence is sufficient, no international driving licence is required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are moving to Switzerland: you can drive with your foreign license for 12 months after establishing residency, then you must exchange it. In Geneva, the exchange costs CHF 150 for a car, depending on the...\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ge.ch\/echanger-son-permis-conduire-etranger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cantonal Vehicle Office<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are a cross-border worker: you reside in France, your French permit remains your reference document, even if you work in Geneva or Lausanne.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Swiss driving licence, also in card format since 2003, uses the same numbering system for the boxes. Note: in Switzerland, drivers must undergo a medical examination every two years from the age of 75. On the roads, speed limits are strict (50 km\/h in towns, 80 km\/h outside built-up areas, 120 km\/h on motorways) and significant speeding offenses are penalized much more severely than in France: yet another reason to enjoy a sports car on Alpine passes rather than on the motorway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Renting a luxury car in Geneva with a European driving licence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">F-Motors S\u00e0rl, a luxury car and supercar rental and subscription agency based in Chavannes-de-Bogis (Canton of Vaud, near Geneva), regularly welcomes drivers with a European driving license. When handing over the keys, the team simply verifies the validity of the license (box 4b), the age of the category B license (column 10), and the driver&#039;s identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once these formalities are completed, it&#039;s time for fun. For a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.f-motors.ch\/en\/luxury-car-rental-switzerland\/\">luxury car rental in Switzerland<\/a>, The available fleet includes, in particular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>there <a href=\"https:\/\/www.f-motors.ch\/en\/vehicles\/porsche-911-carrera-4s\/\">Porsche 911 Carrera 4S<\/a> (450 hp), from CHF 650 per day, or by subscription from CHF 1,800 per month with down payment; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>there <a href=\"https:\/\/www.f-motors.ch\/en\/vehicles\/lamborghini-huracan-evo-spyder\/\">Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder<\/a> (639 rooms), from CHF 1,750 per day; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>there <a href=\"https:\/\/www.f-motors.ch\/en\/vehicles\/mercedes-g-class-63\/\">Mercedes-AMG G-Class 63<\/a> (585 hp), from CHF 950 per day; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Alpine A110 S (300 hp), from CHF 350 per day, is ideal for discovering the roads of the Vaud Jura.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Insurance and maintenance are included. Delivery and return are free.\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.f-motors.ch\/en\/luxury-car-rental-geneva-airport\/\">Geneva airport<\/a> ; Delivery is available elsewhere in Switzerland upon request. Customers residing in France, in Annecy, Thonon or Annemasse, collect their vehicle in Chavannes-de-Bogis or at Geneva-Cointrin airport, and then drive it themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you settle permanently in the region, the\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.f-motors.ch\/en\/car-subscription\/\">luxury car subscription in Switzerland<\/a> The all-inclusive package (comprehensive insurance, taxes, maintenance, summer and winter tires, 2,000 km per month) eliminates the need for registration while you exchange your license. F-Motors is one of the few agencies in Switzerland to offer a PLUS package allowing you to change models four times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I find the issue date on the new European driving licence?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the reverse side, column 10, on the line for the relevant category (B for a car). The date on the front (box 4a) only corresponds to the card&#039;s printing date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is my license valid if box 4b is exceeded?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your right to drive still exists, but the license is no longer valid: you must apply for a new one before driving or renting a vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you need an international driving permit to drive in Switzerland?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, a permit issued by a European Union country is sufficient for a stay in Switzerland. A resident must exchange it within 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you rent a supercar with code 78?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, provided that the vehicle does not have a clutch pedal, which is the case for the Porsche, Lamborghini and Mercedes-AMG in the F-Motors fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking to get behind the wheel of a luxury car in Geneva?
