How it Works
Having an eFlow tag assigned to your vehicle makes for hassle-free journeys across Ireland
Wherever you drive in the Republic of Ireland, from the Dublin Tunnel to the N8 Fermoy Bypass and beyond, an eFlow tag in your vehicle ensures rapid passage through express lanes at all toll booths.
With a tag, you’ll also enjoy a €1.30 discount on every M50 journey you make, and with pre pay and post pay options, you won’t have to make a penalty payment ever again.
With a low-cost monthly administration fee of €1.00 + VAT per tag, an eFlow tag allows hassle-free journeys on the following listed toll roads in Ireland:
M50 Barrier-Free Toll
M3 (Clonee – Kells)
M4 (Kilcock – Enfield – Kinnegad)
N6 (Galway – Ballinasloe)
N8 (Rathcormac – Fermoy Bypass)
Limerick Tunnel
Tom Clarke Bridge
Dublin Tunnel
M1 (Drogheda)
M7/M8 (Portlaoise)
N25 (Waterford)
Whether you’re a frequent user of the M50 or not, it can be easy to forget about the next-day payment deadline until the penalty letters arrive. But with the M50 Video Tolling payment method, you’ll never have to worry about missing a payment again!
With toll charges payable on a pre pay or post pay basis, occasional and frequent M50 users alike are freed from paying their toll before 8pm the next day and save up to €0.70 per journey.
With M50 Video Tolling, there’s no monthly administration charge.

Being an eFlow customer means you’ll be able to pay your tolls in a way that suits you. Best of all, our online account management tools give you the power to change your payment details and options and view your transaction history and statements whenever you wish.
Post Pay customers pay their toll charges in one monthly lump sum.
If you opt to become a post pay customer, you’ll receive your statement for your previous month’s toll journeys at the beginning of each month.
Pre Pay customers pay their toll charges before they drive.
As a pre pay customer, we’ll automatically take a payment from your eFlow account credit each time you pass through a toll point. When you reach the low-balance threshold of €12.00, we’ll top up your account via your chosen payment method and top-up amount (between €30 and €250) so you’re never in the red.
Your business can save both time and money with an eFlow business account, whether it’s through use of express lanes countrywide, reduced M50 tolls, freedom from next-day payment deadlines or the nuisance of paying with coins or card at the toll.
Whatever the hour or time of year, you and your selected account administrators will have full access to your business account online, allowing you to keep track of your vehicles’ journeys. You’ll also have the ability to edit and update all of your payment details, and much more.
eFlow gives you the ability to manage one tolling account for all of your vehicles with complete efficiency.

You will select a start and end date for the duration of your stay and your account will be automatically closed on your chosen date.

The M50 toll road is owned by Transport Infrastructure Ireland. The tolling revenue collected is a vital source of funding for operating and maintaining the national road network.
The M50, barrier free, toll operates in both directions and is located between junction 6 (N3 Blanchardstown) and junction 7 (N4 Lucan). Cameras positioned on the overhead gantry captures the vehicle registration numbers of all vehicles, allowing toll charges to be applied to the registered keeper.
When you pass through the tolling point you will be liable to pay the M50 toll by 8pm the next day to avoid unnecessary penalties. If you don’t have a registered account, you can make a payment online here.
The M50 toll applies to all road users, including tourists to the country. If you are travelling in Ireland and pass through the M50 toll point, then you must pay your toll before 8pm the following day, to avoid unnecessary penalties.
Many of the larger rental companies operate a ‘company pays’ model so you don’t have to worry about paying tolls, however it is important you confirm with the rental company who is responsible for paying the tolls prior to using any tolls roads. If you are responsible, then you must pay your toll before the 8pm next day deadline, to avoid unnecessary penalties.
