The EV rate matches the middle category (1201–1500cc). Hybrid vehicles are recouped at the equivalent ICE rate, so select the engine size, not the EV option. Reduced rates apply to journeys associated with your job but not solely for the performance of duties (for example confined promotion competitions, approved courses, conferences, or weekend return visits during temporary transfer).

Note: This tool is a calculation aid only. Travelling expenses are not paid for any portion of a journey covering all or part of a Garda member's usual route between home and home station. Always confirm against the current official rate circular before submitting a claim.
