If you are traveling around Ireland by car, you will surely encounter the eFlow system — a way to automatically pay for toll roads without barriers or stops. In this blog, we explain in detail how eFlow works, how to pay for tolls, what to do if you receive a fine, and offer advice for tourists and drivers of rental cars.
eFlow is an electronic toll collection system in Ireland that was launched in 2008.
It replaces traditional toll booths and allows drivers to pass through without stopping.
Cameras above the road read the vehicle's license plate number, and based on this data, the system determines whether the vehicle is registered with eFlow.
If the vehicle is registered, the amount is automatically debited from the account.
If not, the driver must pay manually within 24 hours.
The eFlow system is managed by the state organization Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), and technical maintenance is performed by Conduent.
The main place where eFlow is used is the M50 motorway around Dublin, but the system is also used on some other sections of national roads.
There are several ways to pay for eFlow:
💻 Online on the official website eflow.ie
