Florida Trip And Fuel Permit - IRP and IFTA permits for Florida

Florida Trip Permit Requirements

A Florida IRP Trip Permit is required for any vehicle that is operating in Florida with a non-IRP registration issued in a jurisdiction other than Florida. The Florida IRP Trip Permit is valid for ten (10) days for a fee of $30.00 (plus wire service fees) and is available through one of the various wire service companies. Out-of-state carriers MUST secure a Trip Permit prior to entering the State of Florida. The Trip Permit must remain with the vehicle while in the state. Florida-based carriers that do not have an IRP registration and need to travel in another jurisdiction, must either contact that jurisdiction to obtain a trip permit, or register their vehicle under the IRP in Florida.
