Disabled Persons and Tolls
A Disability Modified Vehicle Exemption Scheme launched in February 2020 to centralise exemption across all Irish toll roads.
What is the Disability Toll Exemption Scheme?
The DTES, established by Transport Infrastructure Ireland, allows disability modified vehicles that qualify for exemption under the Revenue Commissioners' Drivers and Passengers with Disabilities Tax Relief Scheme to be exempt from charges on Irish toll roads. The National Scheme replaced the cards that were previously issued by individual toll plazas.
What are the Benefits of Signing up for the Scheme?
Once your vehicle has been registered and approved you will be issued with a disc to affix to your vehicle’s windscreen. This will allow your disability modified vehicles to drive through all Irish toll plazas without paying.
How Long will the Disc be Valid for?
Upon issue, the disc will be valid for a period of 2 years. Upon expiry, a new disc can be applied for using the procedures outlined below.
Where do I Apply for the Scheme?
Applying for the scheme is simple. You are required to fill out our online registration form available at www.dtes.ie or call the local number 1800 11 55 00 and operators will assist you with your application.
