Installation, device lease, monitoring and removal may be separate charges. A daily advertised rate may not represent the full amount you will pay. Review the agreement and billing schedule before committing.

Kansas affordability program
Cost assistance
may be available.
KDOR determines eligibility for Kansas’s Ignition Interlock Affordability Program. Approval can reduce covered program costs by 50%.
Read the official DC-1016 applicationWho may qualify?
The official application lists these alternative eligibility criteria:
- Annual household income at or below 150% of the federal poverty level.
- Enrollment in specified food assistance, childcare subsidy or cash assistance programs.
- Current eligibility for low-income energy assistance, as determined by the Kansas Department for Children and Families.
What does the reduction cover?
For approved applicants, the official form lists the device lease, installation, monthly calibration and removal. Additional charges related to violations, mechanical failures, noncompliance, late fees or lockouts are excluded.
Submit the required eligibility documentation to KDOR using the current form. Ask how an approval will be reflected in your charges. Program eligibility is determined by the state, and an inquiry does not guarantee approval.
Make your estimate useful
Your vehicle. Your county. Your questions.
Share your county, vehicle details and the service you need. Confirm appointment access and travel costs when comparing options across Kansas. Ask which charges could change if your program lasts longer than expected.
