What Factors Impact the Total Cost For an Ignition Interlock Device in Texas?

When you’re looking for the most affordable Interlock Device cost near you, remember that these factors affect what you’ll pay:

  • Vehicle Specifics
    • Costs for installing and calibrating an IID can be higher on certain types of vehicles, especially hybrid and electric vehicles.
  • Lease Duration
    • The court will specify how long you’re required to keep an IID installed in your vehicle. A shorter lease period will mean a lower total cost.
  • Multiple Vehicles
    • If you own multiple vehicles, be aware that you might be required to install a separate IID on every vehicle.
  • Behavior
    • You might be required to keep your IID for longer or be subject to other conditions that affect the cost if you receive IID violations.
