Which tag option for M50 etc?

    Guys I just got a new car and I need to sort something for the odd journey I do on the M50 etc. I believe there are loads of options so just wanted to see if you can recommend what is best. I won't have very many journeys but I may go through the M50 a couple of times a month, but I may also from time to time use either the East Link bridge - or some of the other toll bridges on motorways every once in a while.

    I don't really want a pre paid solution if I can avoid it. Is there one that just recognises my reg and bills me every month to my laser card?

    What are my options? Any advice appreciated.
    Cheers
    Z

    I use the eFlow tag, good rate (though they charge tag rental - cheeky), that said the tags don't seem to last jig time, in 2 years I've been through four.

    Thanks, is this with eFlow or who is it with? Can you use the West Link toll bridge and other Motorway toll brides also? What about

    I'd prefer to go with video + card billing as long as it works for all of them.

    Which ones work for the port tunnel too?
    Thanks

    As per the eFlow-FAQ's the video account only works on the M50 -
    http://www.eflow.ie/faq/BEF.MGCO.REC.117/#Difference

    "The video account is exclusive to the M50 ...

    All customers who register for a tag account avail of interoperability. Interoperability means that the eFlow tag, similar to other branded tags approved by the NRA (National Roads Authority) e.g. easytrip (formerly known as EazyPass & eTrip) will be accepted on all toll roads within Ireland. ..."

    Ahh ok. So which one is the best to get if I need a tag that does everything? Are http://easytrip.ie any good? They have an offer on now, and the rental isonly €1 a month which is more than reasonable..
