Traveling abroad with a rental car? You might be wondering: "Can I fill up anywhere? What if I use the wrong fuel? And will there be extra charges?" This article explains what you need to know about fueling your Adrem rental car abroad, so you can hit the road worry-free.
Can you fill up a rental car with petrol abroad?
Yes! You can simply fill up your rental car with gasoline or diesel at any gas station, both domestically and internationally. That's no problem, as long as you use the correct fuel. If you accidentally fill up with the wrong fuel, you are responsible for any damage or costs that result.
What should you pay attention to when refueling?
- Fill up with the right fuel
Before filling up, always check the fuel cap or filler flap to see which fuel is suitable for your car. Names and colors may differ from those in the Netherlands.
- Color systems vary by country
In the Netherlands, green often means gasoline and black diesel. In other countries, this can be the other way around. So pay close attention to avoid mistakes.
- Please take price differences into account
Fuel prices can vary considerably between countries. It can be advantageous to fill up just across the border. Also, keep in mind that gas stations along highways are often more expensive than local stations.
- Payment is as usual
You don't need a special fuel card. You simply pay with a debit card, credit card, or cash, just like at home.
What if you put the wrong fuel in your tank?
Filling the wrong fuel tank can cause serious damage to your engine. You'll then be responsible for any costs associated with repairs, roadside assistance, or alternative transportation. So always double-check what fuel you need, especially when traveling in another country.
Extra attention when refueling abroad
Before you leave, check your fuel type and ensure you have enough fuel to continue your journey safely. Finding a gas station quickly can be difficult, especially in remote areas. Good preparation prevents stress on the road.
