In order to improve traffic flow and ease congestion, the National Roads Authority decided some time ago to introduce “Barrier Free Tolling” on the M50. This will result in the removal of all pay booths at the toll plaza. This new system is effective from Saturday August 30th 2008.

From this date you will be unable to pay the toll as you pass through the plaza. The toll is being increased and it must be paid within 24 hours or the cost will double, with fines for no payment applying thereafter. While it is your responsibility to pay all tolls, fines etc, Irish Car Rentals as the registered owner of the vehicle will receive demands for late payment and fines. 

Under the new system Irish Car Rentals (National Ireland) will have all its vehicles registered with the Roads Authority. All tolls and administrative charges for the M50 Toll Plaza will be paid by Irish Car Rentals and recharged to you as part of your rental agreement accordingly.

The cost per toll including administration and fees will be €4.93 (€5.73 for Commercial vehicles). The system whereby we will pay the toll on your behalf will be of great assistance to you in that:

a) You will not have to remember or worry about paying the toll by the following day
b) You will not have to seek out a location for payment displaying the “payzone” or “Tolls” logo
c) You will not have to queue in a shop/petrol station, advise the shop assistant of the car registration number, pay the toll and obtain and keep a receipt for same as proof of payment
d) You will never have to worry about late payments or fines

It should be noted that this is not a new toll, it is simply a new way of paying the toll. All Irish Car Rentals customers will be provided with information regarding the tolls upon collection of their vehicle. We will also have literature available for customers which will be attached to their rental agreement. For more information about Barrier Free Motoring please go here.
