By far the easiest and the cheapest way for frequent users to pay is to register for an electronic tag. For a list of tag providers please see www.tagcompare.ie for details.
If you register for a tag with E Flow, you have an option of choosing a pre-paid account where the charges are automatically deducted from your account each time you use the toll road. You can also opt for a post-pay account, you are charged at the end of each month for your tolls.
You can set up a vehicle number plate based payment account, which will be debited for each journey you make. This type of accounts will only cover you for journeys made on the M50 and will not cover your vehicle for the other tolls around Ireland.
You have an option of choosing a pre-paid account where the charges are automatically deducted from your account each time you use the toll road. You can also opt for a post-pay account, you are charged at the end of each month for your tolls.
