Wisconsin Ignition Interlock Costs

Calculating Ignition Interlock Cost

Every state’s ignition interlock program is unique. All state programs have their own regulations that often govern pricing and service options or requirements

If you’re required to participate in Wisconsin’s ignition interlock program, you can expect to pay around $65 per month in lease fees for your IID. The price of installation and other services varies.

The exact costs of your ignition interlock device and related services will depend on a few factors:

  • Your program duration
  • The features your interlock device is required to have (camera, real-time reporting, GPS, etc.)
  • The interlock service provider you choose to install your ignition interlock in Wisconsin

According to the Wisconsin DOT, these are the costs pertaining to your IID program:

  • Installation: Up to $150
  • Monthly service: Up to $80
  • Removal: Up to $100
  • Annual costs: Up to $1200

What if an Individual Can’t Afford the Ignition Interlock System?

Those with an annual income of less than 150% of the Federal Poverty Level may only need to pay one-half of the regular cost of equipping their vehicles with an ignition interlock device. They are also permitted to pay one-half of routine IID costs per day per vehicle.

Ignition Interlock Program

Ignition Interlock Program in Wisconsin

Wisconsin law dictates that judges must order Ignition Interlock Devices for:

  • ALL repeat operating-while-intoxicated (OWI) offenders
  • ALL first time OWI offenders with alcohol concentrations of 0.15 or higher
  • ALL drivers who refuse to provide blood or breath samples for chemical tests at traffic stops

OWI offenders can apply for an occupational license in order to meet essential obligations and drive to work or school. If you have an OWI conviction, you must comply with mandatory license suspension periods before you apply for such a license.

For example, if you have two or more OWI convictions, you can only apply for an occupational license after 45 days.

If you caused extensive bodily harm, you must wait 120 days before applying for an occupational license. For a first conviction, you’re immediately eligible for an occupational license.

Note that every vehicle you drive must have an IID installed, even if you don’t own it.

To get an exemption, you must be able to convince the judge that compliance will cause an undue financial burden on you.
