How can I pay the toll on the M50 free flow motorway without using EXPRESSTOLL?

If you choose not to use EXPRESSTOLL to pay your rental vehicle tolls, you must leave the shield box closed for the entire duration of the rental. You can prepay M50 tolls before the trip or you can pay an incurred M50 toll before 8 p.m. the day after the toll is incurred – see payment options below.

Both pre- and post-payments can be made in one of the following ways:

Online: Visit https://www.eflow.ie/, click on Pay a Toll and enter the licence plate of the rental car.

In Person: Go to any Payzone approved location nationwide and provide the licence plate information of the vehicle for which you want to pay tolls and the date the tolls were incurred. You can find Payzone approved locations where you see this sign:


By phone +353 (0) 1890 50 10 50

VERY IMPORTANT. Make sure to keep your receipt for any payments you make. Always check your receipt to ensure your payment has been made to the correct licence plate number.

If the toll is not paid with one of the approved options by 8 p.m. the following day, Alamo will be invoiced by M50 and will pay the M50 toll charges on your behalf. Alamo will then charge you for the tolls and an additional handling fee of €8.5 (exempt from VAT) for each M50 toll that was not paid during your rental agreement period.

If you open the EXPRESSTOLL shield box and use the toll payment service at any time during your rental period, M50 tolls that you pre-paid directly to M50 may also be included in the total amount charged to your credit card. Please contact customer service if this occurs.
