I'm struggling with with parking my car. I have a car in lease in polish company and the lease company figured as a owner in vehicle registration certificate.
I tried to purchase a monthly subscription to the blue zone in Zürich but was refused becasue I am not the owner of the car.
Do any of you know if there is any possibility of purchase a parking subscription in such a situation?
This is usually needed when leaving the country.
If you’re residing in Switzerland, you have to request a special permission to use an uncleared vehicle here. And unless it is a company vehicle and you use it for business purposes only, the allowed usage time won’t exceed 8 days: https://www.bazg.admin.ch/bazg/en/ho…-benutzen.html
If you have such a permission from customs or was cleared under your name, show those documents to the municipal police. And if you aren’t residing in Switzerland, you won’t be able to buy a parking card for blue zones - city of Zürich sells them to people living (and registered) in the city.
While crossing the border I paid customs and got a premission to use the car here in Switzerland. The only thing left is blue zone card.
If the car is on foreign plates you may not be allowed get a blue zone card. When do you plan to transfer the car to local registration ? Are you resident in Zurich ?
Did you try to get the blue zone pass using the website ?
Yes i did it online. I think I’ll go to Stadt Zürich personnally next week and try to talk with them.

I already saw some foregin plate cars with the blue zone card behind the window.
And yes, i'm a resident and tried to request for the card online.
I don’t think you can legally drive it, least of all for private use, as if it was immatriculated in Switzerland.
Your description matches what would happen if you crossed the border with it under the regulation for “Zollanmeldung für die vorübergehende Verwendung (ZAVV)”. But in that case you’d have to take it back abroad after three days. That’s the third bulletpoint under “Special regulations for road vehicles” → “12crossborder journes per year”, on this page .
The foreign plated cars you saw are probably owned directly by the foreign drivers. They can be driven for up to 12 months before immatriculating it in Switzerland. But your car isn’t owned by you, so that regulation doesn’t apply.
The 25chf temporary import is valid for 1 year, and is aimed at letting you import it within that period. That said, many people, myself included, use it as a way to use a car here for 1 year before re-exporting it and getting rid of it.
If the car is registered to your name, you just go the office near the library and it's a straightforward process. Otherwise it's a pain and there could be customs implications as other have mentioned above.
With a lease - in the UK it's a VE103/VE103B certificate you need to request (and show when getting a BZ permit).
For Poland, no clue... but I assume there's a similar form.
The car has obviously not a Swiss number plates, as in the Swiss papers the holder/keeper is listed, which is OP.
The car is leased. From customs perspective this is the same as if you own the car.
Have to admit that my experience is a long time ago but I had a real struggle getting my leased car to be used in another country (with new registration etc).
Has that changed now and can you ‚export‘ a leased car?
