The M50 toll: rates and paying on time
Dublin’s M50 has no toll booths. Cameras read your number plate, and you have until the next evening to pay. Miss it and the charge grows quickly.
Where it applies
Tolling is between Junction 6 (Blanchardstown) and Junction 7 (Lucan)1. There is no cash payment at the tolling point; unregistered users must pay by 8pm on the day after the journey1.
The rates
| Vehicle class | Toll |
|---|---|
| Cars | cars: €2.60 with a tag, €3.20 with a video account, €3.80 unregistered2 |
| Goods vehicles, lighter | goods vehicles up to 2,000kg: €3.60 tag, €4.20 video, €4.90 unregistered2 |
| Goods vehicles, heavier | goods vehicles from 2,000 kg to 10,000kg: €5.20 tag, €5.90 video, €6.50 unregistered2 |
These rates apply from 1 January 20262. Which row a motorhome pays depends on how it is registered, so ask the hire company; many hire vehicles carry a tag, and the company then bills the toll to you.
If you pay late
Pay late and the toll rises by €4.00, then by a further €51.00, then €128.00 (TII lists these as the default tolls for 2025)1. On a short holiday the easiest fix is to pay the same day.
The calculator has an M50 field: pick your rate and enter the number of times you will pass the toll point.
