Filling up Fuel in your Rental Car

It is very convenient to find fuel stations in Thailand. All roads in the city as well as the countryside are well- equipped with fuel stations. Majority of the rental cars in Thailand run on Gasohol (gasoline mixed with ethanol) or unleaded petrol. On the other hand, minivans generally run on diesel. While diesel is priced at 30 Baht per litre, Gasohol as well as unleaded petrol is priced at 35- 40 Baht per litre here. All drivers must carry loose cash while driving in the countryside because fuel stations here do not accept credit and debit cards. In the meanwhile, debit cards and credit cards are acceptable at bigger fuel stations in the cities, such as Caltex, Shell and Esso among others. It is not required for the driver to get out of their car once they have reached the fuel pump. Their car will be refueled by the attendant and they will also collect the cash. If the windshield of your car is dirty, they will also wipe it off for you. Gas stations in Thailand are a great place to take rest while driving across different cities here. These stations provide all travelers with ample parking, eateries and toilets, all at one place.
