Your guide to tolls and vignettes in Europe

Tolls in Ireland

In Ireland you pay tolls on a number of motorways and tunnels, usually at a toll plaza. There is no vignette. The exception is the M50 around Dublin: it has no barrier and you pay yourself, by 8 pm on the day after your trip. Which rate applies to a motorhome or a car with a caravan has not been confirmed for every toll road.
