Easytrip Tag – Complete First Time User Guide

Author: Published on: Published in: Newsletter

If it’s your first time using an Easytrip tag, you might be wondering exactly what will happen. The good news is, it’s quick, simple, and designed to take the hassle out of driving in Ireland. From toll roads to car parks, your Easytrip tag does the work for you so you can focus on the road ahead.

Here’s everything you need to know before you set off in 5 simple steps.

Step 1 – Set Up Your Easytrip Tag

When your Easytrip tag arrives:

  1. Remove the adhesive strips from the back of the tag.
  2. Position it just behind your rear-view mirror on the windscreen to the right.
  3. Log in to your Easytrip account or use your Easytrip App to check your vehicle registration, payment details, and service preferences.

Once it’s activated, your tag is ready to use straight away.

Step 2 – Using Your Tag at Toll Roads

On the M50

There’s no barrier on the M50. As you pass through the toll zone, cameras detect your vehicle, and your Easytrip account is charged automatically. This means no risk of late payment penalties.

On Other Toll Roads

At traditional toll plazas, drive towards the Easytrip/Express Lane. The barrier will lift automatically when your tag is read – no coins, no queues.

Step 3 – Parking with Your Easytrip Tag

Your Easytrip tag works in 40+ Dublin car parks and hundreds more nationwide.

  • Off-Street Car Parks: Drive to the entry barrier; it opens automatically. When you exit, your account is charged.
  • On-Street Parking in Dublin: Use the Easytrip app to pay instantly — no tickets or coins required.

Step 4 – Extra Services Linked to Your Tag

Your Easytrip account can do more than just tolling and parking:

  • Breakdown Assistance – Help when you need it most PLUS Ireland’s best value assistance!
  • Keycare – Cover if your keys are lost or stolen for only €1.99 a month
  • Car Wash – 20% off Maxol car washes Monday to Friday. Just use the Easytrip app or press the Easytrip button at the Maxol car wash!

You can add these at any time through your account.

Step 5 – If You Change Vehicle

If you sell or change your car, update your registration in the Easytrip app or online to avoid missed tolls or parking issues.

  1. Download the Easytrip App – Manage your account, add services, and find parking.

  3. Look for the Easytrip Sign – At tolls and car parks, signage will guide you.
