    Who has to install one in Vermont

    Program run by: Vermont DMV (Commissioner) · agency page

    Law: 23 V.S.A. 1213 (ignition interlock RDL/IIC); 23 V.S.A. 1207a (interlock revolving fund); DMV Rule (secure.vermont.gov/SOS/rules/display.php?r=71) · read it

    For the rule that applies to you, read your court order or the letter from the DMV.

    A judge can order an interlock in other cases too. Your court order or DMV letter is what binds you.

    Where each company can install in Vermont

    You'll go back to the same company's locations for service for the whole order, so check that one is close to where you live and work before you book.

    Locations as each company lists them on its own locator (Smart Start, Intoxalock, LifeSafer, Low Cost Interlock), pulled Oct 2026. Some shops serve more than one company. Alcohol Detection Systems doesn't publish a locator we could read.
