Ireland Toll Guide
The M50 toll in Dublin is one of the busiest road charges in Ireland. Operated by eFlow, the toll system is barrier-free. Drivers must pay M50 toll online after using the motorway, usually before 8pm the following day. Missing the deadline leads to penalties.
This process works for Irish residents, tourists, and rental cars. If driving a rental, always check whether the hire company pays automatically or requires you to log in to eFlow M50 toll.
You must pay M50 toll before 8pm the following day. If you fail, a €3 penalty is added. Continued non-payment increases the fine up to €146 plus court fees. Timely M50 toll payment avoids these costs.
Some drivers confuse the Dublin M50 toll with the Blackwall Tunnel charge in London. They are different: the M50 toll Ireland is managed by eFlow, while the Blackwall Tunnel is under London’s system.
If you rent a car, ask the company whether the toll M50 is automatically billed. Some providers include it, others don’t. Always confirm and, if required, pay toll online yourself to avoid unexpected penalties.
