If you're selling on your car as part of buying a new one during the 192 registration period, and have an easytrip toll and parking account, then don't forget to change the car details on your easytrip, writes Brian Byrne.
Otherwise you are likely to be charged for any automatic toll charges incurred by the new owner of your old car.
The mobility solutions specialist notes two potentially costly scenarios:
Selling your old vehicle: if you’ve sold your old vehicle and inadvertently left your tag in the vehicle and haven’t updated your toll tag account, the new owner may continue to use your tag at most barrier toll plazas, racking up a bill connected to your account.
Buying a new vehicle: if you’ve bought a new vehicle and transferred your existing tag to it but forgot to update your account details, you’ll risk receiving a toll bill (billed at the higher rate) and penalty charge if you’ve travelled through the M50 toll plaza as your new vehicle registration is not connected to your toll tag account.
Easytrip customers can update their vehicle details through their online account at www.easytrip.ie or by contacting easytrip directly on 1890 676768.
