Breakdown of Car Breathalyzer Costs
When you discover you need to install a car breathalyzer, your first question is probably how much will it cost? Being charged with a drunk driving offense can be costly, so you don’t want to spend a large amount of money on the device that will keep you on the road. So, let’s break it down.
Monthly Lease
Because most ignition interlock devices, or car breathalyzers, are needed only temporarily, you will lease the interlock from Intoxalock for however long you are required to have the device. That length of time varies according to your drunk driving offense and your state’s regulations. The monthly cost also varies and is determined by:
- Year, make and model of your car
- State of residence
- Length of time your device is installed
- Features your state requires the device to have (GPS, camera, real-time reporting)
You can expect to pay a “rental” fee to lease the device of between $60–$90 a month for your Intoxalock IID. Call our state experts at (833) 623-0200 to secure the best price.
