New York (NY) - State Requirements - Ignition Interlock Device Cost

Ignition interlock devices are leased and not purchased outright. This is for ease of monitoring and also because the devices cost thousands of dollars if purchased outright. In New York, the price to lease a device is between $2.50 and $3.50 a day.

Intoxalock also offers a device protection plan for an additional $10 a month. This will protect you if your device is damaged or stolen. If paying for a device is a hardship, the court can determine if a driver is eligible for financial assistance. This is determined by the court on a case-by-case basis.
