Changing your car? Update your easytrip details


Mobility solutions specialist, easytrip is reminding motorists who are planning a purchase or sale of a vehicle during the 221-registration period to update their easytrip account details to avoid receiving any unanticipated toll charges, writes Brian Byrne.

In addition to enabling toll payments, the easytrip tag can be used to pay for parking and car washes, providing a safe and easy payment solution for motorists that reduces card touch points or cash handling.

If a driver buys a new vehicle and transferred the existing tag to it but forgets to update their easytrip account details, there's a potential risk if the driver has travelled through the M50 toll plaza as the new vehicle registration is not connected to their tag account meaning the driver may receive a toll bill (billed at the higher rate) and a penalty charge for the journey. If someone has sold their vehicle and inadvertently left the tag in the car and has not updated their toll tag account, the new owner may continue to use the tag at toll plazas, resulting in a toll journey or multiple journeys being charged to the original owner’s tag account.

Easytrip customers can update their account details by logging onto www.easytrip.ie or calling 1890 67 67 68.
