Refueling Abroad with PACE Drive: How to Be Fully Prepared

As the summer season draws to a close, many of us are seizing the last warm days to squeeze in some final trips. Whether you’re winding through picturesque Alpine roads, exploring Italy’s coastlines, or cruising through the charming villages of the Netherlands, PACE Drive is here to make refueling a stress-free and secure part of your journey.

Here’s something you might not know: With PACE Drive, you can easily pay via mobile not just in Germany but across many European countries. Plus, the PACE Drive app offers access to the largest network of app-supported fuel stations in Europe! Our network now spans Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and even Denmark. To help you prepare for refueling abroad, we’ve put together a few handy tips:

1. Keep an Eye on Local Prices

When you’re refueling in another country, it’s important to remember that prices can vary considerably. Fuel tends to be pricier in tourist areas or along highways. A quick check of the current prices and a bit of research before you embark on your trip can save you a lot of frustration.

Here are our tips:

• Germany: Fuel prices here are pretty average but can fluctuate depending on the region and station. Prices are often higher along highways.
• Italy: The land of Dolce Vita is among the countries with the highest fuel prices in Europe. Prices are particularly high in tourist regions and on highways.
• Belgium: This country at the heart of Europe is also known for its higher fuel prices. It’s worth looking for cheaper gas stations away from highways.
• Netherlands: In the land of canals, high fuel prices are also to be expected. Plan your fuel stops carefully to avoid unpleasant surprises.
• Luxembourg: You can often refuel much cheaper here. Our smallest neighboring country is known for its low fuel prices, so it’s worth planning a stop if you’re passing through.
• Austria: In the Alpine Republic, fuel prices are relatively moderate compared to the rest of Europe. Especially in rural areas, you often find cheaper gas stations.
• France: In the land of Bonheur, fuel prices vary widely, but in general, they are higher than in Germany. Prices along highways are usually more expensive.

2. Always Know Where the Next Gas Station Is

With PACE Drive, you don’t have to worry about finding the next gas station. Our app shows you all available stations nearby, whether you’re on the highway or driving through small, remote villages. This way, you stay on track and can enjoy your journey without unnecessary detours.

3. Connected Fueling – Easy and Convenient Payment

When you’re on the road, you don’t want to worry about complicated payment methods. Stations equipped with our Connected Fueling system are marked with a blue symbol in the app. You can pay there quickly and easily using the payment methods stored in the app. This means less time at the pump and more time for what really matters: your journey.
