The Disability Toll Exemption Scheme
Feb
What is the The Disability Toll Exemption Scheme?
The Disability Toll Exemption Scheme was set up by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in 2019 to allow Disability Modified Vehicles to be exempt from tolling charges on Irish toll roads. From February 2020, under the Disability Toll Exemption Scheme, a registered disability modified vehicle will not be liable to pay toll charges at any toll plaza nationwide.
If you have a Primary Medical Certificate and are part of the Disabled Drivers & Passengers Tax Relief scheme you are exempt from paying toll charges. Visit the Disability Toll Exemption Scheme here for more information on how to apply.
How it works
For vehicles that qualify for the scheme, a disc will be provided to be mounted on the drivers side of the vehicle windscreen. On approaching a toll plaza, the disc will be verified by a booth operator. On the M50 barrier free toll road, the vehicle registration will be made exempt from paying tolls so no toll charges or penalties apply to the registered vehicle.
Here is a short guide of what you should expect at a toll plaza.
How do I register?
It’s so easy to register your vehicle for the scheme filling in the online application form. Once your vehicle has been verified and approved, you will be issue you with your disc. The disc will be delivered within 3 working days to your nominated postal address. The disc will be valid for two years from the date of registration. Visit here to get the renewal form.
Eligibility for the scheme
Eligibility for the scheme is clarified by the motorist having a certified disability modified vehicle.
Scheme Rules
A disc will be valid for a 2 year period, after such time a new disc will have to be issued. The disc must remain in the registered vehicle at all times.
