Which European Service Stations are the most highly recommended?

In France, there are a wide range of brands: Total, Fina, BP, Agip, Elf, Esso, etc. at more than 2,200 Service Stations situated both on and off motorways. It is advisable to refuel off the motorway, except with Total, as virtually all brands charge more on motorways.

In Luxembourg, with 50 Service Stations, it is advisable to refuel in Berchem, Wasserbillig and Capellen because of its location and lower refuelling prices. DKV Service Stations are always available without having to leave the motorway.

In Germany where there are over 4,700 Service Stations, prices vary depending on the area. Stations located on motorways are more expensive than Truck Stops, which in turn are more expensive than Stations located off the motorway.

In Italy it is advisable to use the AGIP or IP network.Whereas TEXACO is the most highly recommended in Belgium.

DKV choses the best Service Stations across Europe, according to price and quality, and updates its information on a weekly basis. It researches prices in Germany, Austria, Italy, France etc
