Life on Irish roads has just got that little bit easier with the announcement of electronic tolling services to five additional car parks and two new motorways.
Easytrip, Ireland’s largest supplier of electronic tolling services has introduced electronic tagging to the newly opened M7/M8 Portlaoise and M3 Clonee to Kells motorways.
Car parks at the Ilac Centre, Usher’s Quay, Dawson Street School House Lane, Dublin, St. Finbarr in Cork and Henry Street in Limerick are now benefiting from the service which will speed up the queuing process and give customers a 10% saving on parking charges in all participating Q-Park car parks nationwide.
“The extension of our service across major car parks across Ireland and new toll roads allows us to present further convenience and hassle free commuting to our customers,†said Ciara O’Brien, general manager, Easytrip Services Ireland.
“Over the past few months, we have seen the method of paying tolls electronically becoming more and more prevalent as further roads and car parks come on board. Irish motorists are really starting to enjoy the benefits of ticket, cash and hassle free commuting,†she concluded.
The Easytrip electronic tag can now be used to pay on a total of ten toll roads or bridges in addition to the 16 car parks nationwide.
If you are not familiar with the Easytrip service, it is based on a small electronic tag for both parking and tolling, which customers install onto their windscreen. When motorists enter car parks the barriers lift automatically, and the tariff is deducted from their account on exit from the car park. The same principle applies on toll bridges and roads, including the M50 motorway.
