According to Google Maps this takes me on toll roads in Switzerland, Italy and France. According to extra Googling. Not very expensive to pay for the tolls in France and Italy but in Switzerland I understand one needs an annual vignette.

I can see no option on the Sixt site for including rentals or anything or whether your cars already have the vignette. So how is this handled for your rentals?
The car we rented in April from Sixt at Basel airport (Swiss side) had a vignette. If you rent at the airport, you can rent from either the French side or the Swiss side and you need to be careful which side you make your reservation with. If the car has Swiss plates, then I think it has to have a vignette.

Just to add that I was looking to book a car for August and noticed the following on the Sixt website: This branch is located on the Swiss sector of the airport. With a rental agreement in the Swiss sector, we guarantee you a vehicle with a vignette to use the Swiss Autobahn/highway. (my bolding)
