Self-service petrol stations coming to Abu Dhabi

ABU DHABI // Motorists in Abu Dhabi will be able to pump their own petrol from the start of next month – and pay for it with a swipe of their Emirates ID cards.

Four self-service “smart” petrol stations with a new cashless payment system will be opened as part of a seven-month trial by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company from March 1.

Customers will be able to pay for their fuel using their Emirates ID card, Adnoc Plus card or a Smart Tag, a chip installed at the car’s fuel inlet.

All three payment methods are linked to an Adnoc Wallet account that can be topped up online. Customers can sign up for an account on the company’s website or at Smart Card centres around the city.
