How Much Does an Ignition Interlock Cost in Illinois?

The cost for an Ignition Interlock Device (IID), also known in Illinois as a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID), can vary significantly based on your program requirements and other factors. These are the basics of determining an Ignition Interlock Device’s cost that every driver with a DUI should know.

Rather than buying your Ignition Interlock, you’ll lease it for a monthly fee. Smart Start offers an affordable monthly lease payment with no long-term contracts.

Calibration Fee

Pricing for IID services at your local Smart Start service center starts at $25.00⁺. Prices can vary, so we recommend contacting your local service center for the most accurate info.

Removal Charges

At the end of your lease, you’ll pay an administration closing fee and a labor fee to have your IID removed by a professional technician.

⁺Pricing as of 2/1/25 and is subject to change. It does not include taxes and fees, and the total cost may vary depending on the type of vehicle and location you choose for your BAIID installation.

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

Be aware of these additional factors, which can affect the cost of your Ignition Interlock:

Vehicle Specifics
- You might pay a higher cost to get an IID installed if you have certain types of vehicles, particularly electric and hybrid vehicles.
Lease Duration
- The amount of time you’re required to keep your IID installed depends on your program requirements. The less time required, the shorter your lease and the lower the cost.
Multiple Vehicles
- You might be required to install an IID in every vehicle you operate, depending on your requirements.
Behavior
- IID violations, like failing a breath sample or failing to complete a rolling retest, can increase the amount of time you must keep your IID installed, increasing the cost.

Some drivers may be eligible for Illinois’ BAIID Indigent Program, which can help you afford an IID if you meet the program’s financial requirements. Other factors can come into play depending on your circumstances, so talk to our compassionate and knowledgeable Program Advisors to get a quote tailored to your specific needs.

For Illinois drivers, a DUI is typically a Class A misdemeanor on the first or second offense, subject to license suspension for at least a year, plus fines and possible jail time. Subsequent DUIs, or DUIs with aggravating factors such as a high BAC, can result in felony charges with mandatory jail time and fines up to $25,000.

Illinois drivers can apply for a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) to retain driving privileges while their license is suspended for DUI. To get your MDDP, you’ll need to have a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device installed on your vehicle. (This is the same device known as an Ignition Interlock Device or IID in other states.) You can find more information about Ignition Interlocks in Illinois in our Illinois BAIID Guide.
